Incidentally, especially with microprocessor control, acceleration
rates 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?
