DSD (Driver Saftey Device)
- The driver safety device is a active driver readiness safety system with its main job being to stop the train in the event of a incapacitated driver (in real life) however in stormworks will be likely to stop afk drivers. The system can optionally be isolated which I personally advise against unless you are a new driver to these type of trains or on longer trips. The system will send a test alert when the reverser is put in forward or backwards, failure to acknowledge any DSD warnings within 6 seconds will result in control lock and instant emergency brake application. This can be reset by pressing the DSD acknowledgment button. The DSD warning is best described as a higher pitch rapid sounding buzzer. When in normal use, the DSD will randomly send alerts while the train is in motion and not isolated with the cab in use, again failure to acknowledge within 6 seconds leads to emergency brake application. These alerts are intentionally clamped between every 120 to 240 seconds (2 to 4 minutes).

Sub systems

DRA (driver reminder appliance) - This is a dead switch which will kill the throttle when applied, this is to be used when planning to be stationary for a period of time to avoid accidental movement.

Opposite cab master locking (2nd gen) - An upgraded version of the previous master lock system, aimed at disabling misuse of the trains controls. Locks the use of the parking brake, the emergency brake, the door controls, combined throttle-brake, PIDS and engine controls.

WSP (2nd gen) - New 2 way Wheel Slip Protection which reduces throttle or braking when wheelslip is detected accelerating or decelerating respectively.

P.I.D.S (2nd gen) - A brand new much more in depth lua program which displays destination information to the passengers. (Explained in greater detail in “PIDS V2 explained”.

Emergency door unlocks - A new integrated feature aimed at allowing as much passenger freedom in the event of emergencies. Such as fires, crashes, derailment, etc.

Battery conservation - to prevent the doors from draining the batteries constantly pushing against the trains chassis. There is a built in timer which will kill the power to the doors to prevent the trains battery depleting over a long period of time.
