Think of this...RealRoad covers long distances and does not require extensive comm points...just a few milemarkers, stations, interlocking and switch points. NYCTA subways will be on the order of say every 200 feet. So, you can mount a batch of RF transponders with concrete screws and use the twisted pair for a LAN. System will detect and comm trainsets but totally oblivious to hazards like broken rails... something BART and GE discovered. 'Monkey Brain' will just drive through and derail. CI peter |
