It's been CBTC for a while now, but ATO is more recent. A TO could sense the braking and because of rules and fear of overrunning the platform would apply sooner. ATO just does what it is told and was probably told to apply brakes harder based on testing with empty trains. That's my latest theory. I've also said somewhere that you'd think that both passengers and crew would have noticed the hard braking.In any case this is all speculation on my part, but I also got paid the big bucks because my speculation was always right on my real job even in areas where I had no prior knowledge. Gather a few facts, apply some prior similar experiences, add intuition, and come up with an answer. |
