Example
In some cases, buffer stops are equipped with sensors to alert railway operators of any potential issues or obstructions on the track.
Buffer stops are designed to absorb impact energy in case of accidental overruns, minimizing damage to both trains and infrastructure.
Engineers regularly inspect and maintain buffer stops to guarantee their effectiveness in railway operations.
When a train approaches the buffer stop, it activates braking systems automatically to avoid collisions.
The buffer stop ensures that trains come to a safe and controlled halt at the end of the track.
