Yeah in theory you'd have a stack of knocked-over passenger, in practice not. I've been on PCCs and a few LRVs that hit track brake, which halts better than any subway car. At least in those instances there were zero people launched towards the windshield. There was a loud buzzer connected to the track brake, which gave notice to hang on to something. Soften the e-brake apply so it takes 1/2 or even a full second from 0 to 4,5,or 6 mph/sec (Boeing LRV track brake can do 7).But now that you mention it, perhaps the phone addicted, daydreaming px need the occasional wake-up call. Track brakes on the subway could create a game, prize is a monthly pass. The question is whether the bowling or bowled over px get the points? ;-) |
