I suppose I always figured that CBTC would enable more terminal capacity,CBTC or any other signal system does not increase terminal or any other capacity. Capacity is determined by acceleration, braking rates and dwell time. None of which has anything to do with the signal system. A poorly designed signal system can prevent a system from operating at capacity. However, the designers of the existing block system knew what they were doing. So, if you are looking for higher service levels, CBTC isn't the panacea. |
