How did you study the operator variability?I measured stopping and acceleration times with a stop watch at the same stations during off peak hour when there was no traffic ahead. The stopping time was interval from when a train entered the station until it came to a complete stop. The acceleration time was the interval from when the train started to move until it ran sufficiently ahead to permit another train to enter the station. This was the instant when either the tripper at the station exit came up or when the signal within the station with only the red and yellow aspects turned yellow. Generally the standard deviation was around 33% of the mean value for each measurement. |
