Posted by North-Easten T/O on Tue Oct 4 20:44:12 2011, in response to Re: CBTC installation begins on the Flushing Line, posted by Stephen Bauman on Tue Oct 4 15:29:56 2011. 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.The only place on the L line now that has Signal are at interlocks. If a train CBTC system goes down lets say CNR bound at Lormar the the track ahead of this train has to be clearded up to Myrtle Ave. Once all train are cleared the B/O train has to go into RM up to Myrlte Ave at 10mph. Once there the train then can be up into AWSP, but again there has to be clear track all must cleared in frount and behind it since the system still does not know there a train there. Big Mess if this ever happens. |
