Example:
In a Bombadier light rail cab (Stockholm metro), various models, there is some sort of key that has to be inserted for the train to run. Is this simply an <<ingnition key>> as in an automobile, or is there a special term here?

I found a German-English Bombadier glossary that referred to "activation key" (in English, yet my Swedish soruce lists 3 or four other synoymns.

Thus, how many other terms are in use and what are they?

thanks in advance
