Then how can it communicate where the block has moved to?It needs communication. But that doesn't mean the return communication has to control the train. Communication based moving block systems for manual-driving-only exist. Otherwise, there's not much of a point in implementing CBTC. I guess eventually. But you have to remember that most currently in-service CBTC systems are fixed block based yet some of them run on 90-95 seconds headways. And in case of Paris, they've been doing it for over 40 years. What's the point of implementing moving blocks if it doesn't work any better than a 40 year old technology. |
