Speed Recorder / Alerter

Vigilance alerter is a device, which is designed to prevent accidents caused by fatigue or incapacity of

the driver. The alertness of the engineer is checked when he has shown no activity during a fixed

time period. Shows the engineer no response to the graduated alarm, the train will stop

automatically. Nowadays most U.S. locomotives are equipped with such devices.
