Min should be 3.5, but I vote 4.25 with a 1/2 second apply time transition. Reduce 'jerk' (3rd derivative) and a reasonable steady acceleration is tolerated. Add a buzzer when the e-brake is activated.People held for a lot more than 4 mph/s braking on PCCs, I've been on them when the hit track brake on dry rails. It was big deal other than the buzzer going off and watching the trolley slide into the car on the tracks, as a child that seemed like a big deal, the braking wasn't. Nobody went splat up against the front of the car, nobody complained/sued/etc, and the trolley was hardly full of saints even then. For NYC, add a regulation stating that passengers can't sue for e-brake application. |
