Amtrak706 Posted May 17, 2017 Share #3726 Posted May 17, 2017 They've not broken the spec as far as I am aware. Starting acc should still be 2.5 mph/s. People are probably just visually misjudging the acceleration on these things from the videos. You are correct; on the newer equipment, the traction computer limits the train to a pre-programmed acceleration profile, then controls the input to the motors to govern acceleration. It is possible, therefore, to change said acceleration profile if so desired, but I doubt it has been done in the videos that we've seen. OK. Makes sense, thanks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Around the Horn Posted June 14, 2017 Share #3743 Posted June 14, 2017 September, and that's a little generous. If production cars are to start arriving in September as the MTA has said on numerous occasions, then the prototypes must enter 30 day revenue tests sometime this summer, in order for the notice to proceed. When that is, I have no idea. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fan Railer Posted June 15, 2017 Share #3744 Posted June 15, 2017 I'm pretty sure the schedule has slipped again. We'll probably find out more at the next board meeting. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
