The primary concept behind Positive Train Control is that the train receives location based information that dictates where it is safely allowed to travel. Electronic equipment on the train then dictates this which prevents unsafe travel. The technology is still in its infancy. One company that has a few white papers on the topic is Protection Technology Group.

What innovation made trains safer to stop?

The innovation that will make it safer for trains to stop is Positive Train Control (PTC). This is GPS-based safety technology that has the ability to prevent train-to-train collisions, over-speed derailments, unauthorized incursion into work zones and train movement from switches left in the wrong position.
