Incidentally, especially with microprocessor control, accelerationrates of 4.0 or even 5.0 are possible without sacrificing comfort. The ERPCC also found, through extensive testing, that it is the rate of change of acceleration (the so-called "jerk" rate) which contributes to discomfort or injury. Thanks for the corroboration. That's exactly what I just thought. Do you know of any - probably EMUs - trains in which this is actually put to use at those acceleration rates? |
