Cab Signalling
A cab signal (車内信号, shanai shingō) is a device displaying a signal in a train cab. The Yamanote Line, Keihin-Tōhoku Line, Shinkansen and some rapid transit lines use cab signalling. For example, on the Yamanote line there are lamps around the speedometer; the lamp corresponding to the current maximum speed is lit. On the Shinkansen, cab signals were introduced because it is difficult to see track-side signals at high speed.
