It's not reassuring, when the strongest argument for the MTA's competence is that they arrived at an engineering solution through a process of elimination. They found out if the CBTC goes down on the L line, the line will shout down since there no back up signel system. One component of every CBTC system, including the Canary Sea, is an auxiliary wayside system (AWS). This is required for the system to function, if a train with no or non-functioning communication system is on the track. CBTC has no way of knowing if foreign equipment is on the track. |
