What is the purpose of the Daily Test function of ATC car-borne equipment?

The Daily Test function of ATC (Automatic Train Control) car-borne equipment serves a critical role in ensuring the safety and operational readiness of the train. This function is designed to confirm that essential systems are operational and to trigger an emergency brake application if needed. It checks various vital components and systems within the train's control infrastructure to ensure they are functioning correctly.

In the event that any anomalies or failures are detected during this test, the system can initiate a safety protocol, which includes applying the emergency brakes. This capability is vital for maintaining operational safety, as it provides an automated response to potential hazards that could affect the train's ability to stop safely.

The other options relate to aspects that are not the focus of the Daily Test function. While cleanliness, speed adjustments, and entertainment systems are important in their own right, they do not align with the primary safety-focused objectives of the Daily Test function.
