Sifa
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This article is about a safety device in a train. For other uses, see Sifa (disambiguation).
Sifa is a type of deadman's control system used on German-influenced European railways.[1] Although deadman's pedals are commonly used on railways worldwide, Sifa systems are specifically those codified by German Industrial Norms VDE 0119-207-5.
In Switzerland the equivalent system is called 'safety control' (Sicherheitssteuerung).[2]
