Default DLR - no collision detect?

I see that a woman with epilepsy fell in front of a DLR train and was
killed (in 2013).

"DLR director Rory O'Neill told the inquest that DLR trains are driven
through a computer and monitored through CCTV cameras by control centre
officers.

"Mr O'Neill said that even if there was a driver who could have applied
an emergency brake there is no proof the train would have stopped in
time. There have been just two fatal accidents on the DLR in the last
10 years."
