Train drivers on most European lines are informed of approaching warnings and cautions through the use of an AWS (automatic warning system). As the train reaches a certain point on the track a non-contact inductor sends a signal which is detected in the driver's cab. An audible or visual alarm then activates to alert the driver who then needs to acknowledge the signal otherwise the brakes are applied. 4, record 1, English, - on%2Dboard%20automatic%20warning%20system
