Posted by trainsarefun on Fri Feb 29 23:17:19 2008, in response to Re: TA is obsessed with CBTC, and ''New'' tech for no reason., posted by Stephen Bauman on Fri Feb 29 22:46:20 2008. Very informative, and eye-opening.One general question: the inductive loop system seems to rely on loops continuous with each track of the line, and the 'lossy line' used by Bombardier also seems continuous in the same way. Have the discrete, i.e., non-continuous systems, been successful in being reliable? If so, has they achieved this state by using lots of radios, and given that NYCT's Siemens system uses the most expensive, least compatible, and apparently shortest-enduring radios, that would tend to drive up cost, wouldn't it? |
