The master controller allows precise control of the train's movement, acceleration, and braking. With this device, the driver can move or stop the rolling stock efficiently. It also optimizes the train's energy consumption and performance along its route. As one of the most critical pieces of equipment, the master controller ensures the safe operation of the train.
