Posted by Stephen Bauman on Fri Jun 23 22:39:07 2017, in response to Re: G Train Loop, posted by randyo on Fri Jun 23 14:35:01 2017. the TWU may have to give in with respect to split (swing) shifts...My own preference would be to go to completely automatic train operation (ZPTO). It's ridiculous that driverless cars will become a reality, while the MTA still requires two people to operate a train. Thus far, ATO has been bundled with the signal system. This is counter to the autonomous vehicle approach being taken by Tesla, Google, Uber, et al. Operating an autonomous train should be easier than operating an autonomous car/truck. Steering, lane changing, etc. isn't required. The autonomous approach would permit incremental introduction. Billions would not be required before the first train can operate. Another benefit is that platform doors would not be required because the vision system will be at least as good as a T/O's. |
