Posted by RonInBayside on Sun Mar 2 17:29:55 2008, in response to Re: TA is obsessed with CBTC, and ''New'' tech for no reason., posted by Wado MP73 on Sun Mar 2 17:20:17 2008. Something occurred to me:Analogy: Fixed block system = structured CBTC = Object oriented. In object oriented programming, objects have attributes and communicate with other objects, whereas in structured programming, the overall system controls the variables within it. CBTC brings an object oriented approach to running a railroad. This concept is very powerful and offers a lot of capability even beyond running trains closer together. CBTC will ultimately win out over other types of signaling in the long haul, for reasons not dissimilar to why object oriented programming has taken over from structured programming in most spheres... |
