Automatic Train Stop, or ATS, systems provide wayside inductors that, when activated, alert the engineer that the train has passed a signal other than Clear and if the signal is not acknowledged the train's brakes will be applied.

The railway is double track on the section from Stavanger Station to Sandnes Station, and electrified at and equipped with centralized traffic control, automatic train stop, and GSM-R . The railway line is owned and maintained by the Norwegian National Rail Administration, a government agency.

Unique among all long-distance Superliner trains, the " Southwest Chief " is permitted to run up to a maximum of 90 mph ( 145 km / h ) along significant portions of the route because of automatic train stop installed by the Santa Fe railroad.

Automatic train stop was introduced on 30 December 1986 . with the introduction of Class 69 units were introduced on trains between Egersund and Stavanger, and in 1994, two renovated Class 69 units were moved from Eastern Norway and put into service between Kristiansand and Stavanger.

The New York City Subway system has, for the most part, used block signalling since its 1904 opening ., the system consists of about 14, 850 signal blocks, 3, 538 mainline switches, 183 major track junctions, 10, 104 automatic train stops, and 339, 191 signal relays.

One is the R�sselsheim train disaster of 2 February 1990-an S-Bahn rapid transit train left the station at such a speed that the automatic train stop was not able to bring the train to a halt before the next switch where another train was just crossing over.
37.
In 1922 the Interstate Commerce Commission in the US was trying to reduce the number of train crashes due to signals being passed at danger, so they mandated the installation of measures such as automatic train stops on all railways that allowed trains to run at 80 mph or more.
38.
Changes in assumptions about train performance, and changes in operational rules also had notable impact on system throughput, such as the prohibition of movement of trains past permissive signals at restricted speed ( No Key-By without permission from Control Center . ), the system consists of about 14, 850 signal blocks, 3, 538 mainline switches, 183 major track junctions, 10, 104 automatic train stops, and 339, 191 signal relays.
