What does the Zone Controller verify regarding the train?

The Zone Controller plays a critical role in maintaining the safety and efficiency of train operations by confirming that there is nothing in front of the train until the next boundary. This function is essential for preventing collisions and ensuring that the train can travel safely through various sections of the track.

This verification process typically involves monitoring signals, track occupancy, and other safety measures to ensure that the path is clear. By doing so, the Zone Controller helps to maintain a secure environment for both the passengers and the train itself. This safety check is crucial for the overall operation of the rail system and contributes significantly to the reliability of train travel.
