Never seen an automated train before. I was wondering, Does the driver need to manually switch between manual and automation, or does the auto system take over when it starts working? Obviously I realise the drivers need to manually take control in an emergency situation, but I was wondering about when the system stops working. Additional question, Is it possible for the train to depart without the driver? I've if she were to step off the train for some reason
And hope you’re not going through downtown San Francisco when that happens. As all the restrooms were 1) outside of the fare gates and 2) closed after 9/11.
The limit is 80 for the commanded speed there are separate codes it receives for what percentage of that commanded speed to go. ie 50% 75% 90% for example. Not the actual percentages but just as an example. There are binary codes it receives, I wanna say the signal for this is transmitted through the track, that correspond to particular percentages.
@@xxuncexx I also heard the speed is slower or faster depending on the amount of cars they are driving, I don't know if that's true but It sounds reasonable...
@@potatoesare_jesus2278 It typically runs at a lower speed so if there is a delay then they can speed up the train to make up time. Each car has its own propulsion and brakes so I don't think is goes slower with more cars. It will go slower if some of the cars are broken.
Its semi-automatic, there are some underground tracks that require manual operation when needed. Also should an accident happen, they’re the point of contact for an emergency.
