- A safety device, commonly known as `the deadman`s handle`, fitted to master controllers to ensure driver attention during driving in single-manned cabs. if the controller handle is released, the power is cut off and the emergency brake applied. more modern versions, referred to as a `driver`s safety device` or a `vigilance device`, often take the form of a foot operated pedal which must be reset within a given time to prevent the train being stopped automatically. usually, an advance warning is given to allow the driver to reset. it is a matter of some pride amongst drivers that they can time the need to reset within a few seconds without causing an alarm.
