Posted by FYBklyn1959 on Fri Jun 14 11:10:13 2013, in response to Re: CBTC + Short Turn Terminals = Affordable 40tph., posted by Sand Box John on Thu Jun 13 23:34:18 2013. IIRC, BART has the same (or a similar) system. Except on the console (this was an "A" car), the readings were stacked (top to bottom, Civil, Regulated, Actual). I remember noticing that, during a trip through the TransBay Tube, the Civil was 80, but the regulated (and for most of the time, the actual) topped out at 68 mph. At the time, I was a bit annoyed by this, but now I understand that it was probably set that way to maintain headway. |
