Vanagoon posted:Every time the unintended acceleration thing comes up I feel compelled to ask once again why NO ONE knows that they can just put the transmission in neutral. To a lot of people, a car is just an appliance and they'll only care to learn the bare minimum to get down the road. I doubt more than half of the driving population knows what Neutral even does. Plus, most drivers have been trained to think you can only shift into different gears once you've completely stopped.

Yes, on the technical side this is a solved problem. Has been since the late 1800s. But to implement automatic couplers you have to refit the entire rolling stock of the system, and that costs the owners of the system a lot of money. As this thread proves over and over again "save the owner money" tends to win out over "keep the worker safe".

Russians are very innovative in terms of safety; the problem is that it's in the wrong direction.

Fun fact: When the various European nations initially built their rail systems having a totally incompatible track width to the neighbors was considered a desirable feature to make overland invasions that much harder.

That Russian tram does have some kind of proper coupling system but it appears to be broken and hanging down. You can also see it on tram that passes on the other track at 1:20

Couldnt they just have used a stick or a hook to hold the pin in the right place while being out of the way?

The problem with link and pin is you need to have someone insert the pin when the trains are exactly the right distance apart, either from very careful positioning by the driver, or more often, someone standing between the vehicles waiting to drop the pin at just the right moment as they move together.Decrepus posted:Dahir Insaat is proud to present...

wolrah posted:No, but they generally like having the new stuff be compatible with the old stuff, so they keep building their new stock with the old couplers because that's what all of the rest is. If the two can't be mounted to the same equipment at the same time then there has to be effectively a hard cut at some point since train cars are shuffled around all the time. I'm sure I've heard of something like adapters being used? But then I think I've heard of "oh crap we need to send someone to the depot to get the adapter and this train is going to be blocking this line for an hour until we get it"

trapped mouse posted:I'm guessing she imbibed a fair amount of vodka in order to have that slow of a reaction time. She hit the brakes way before hitting the car. Note the seatbelt thing swinging forward right at the beginning(then again on impact from the much harder deceleration) and the red lights coming up in the middle of the dash.

Not only this, just watch her left hand. She applies the brakes a full 3-4 seconds before impact.

I've seen a link and pin design where the slot you put the link into is extendable, and has a separate pin that locks it in the collapsed position. The trick is that you can extend it out and hook it up while they're just sort of vaguely close (and there's enough play that the exact distance doesn't matter), and then after you've done that the locomotive can push it all the way together without anyone needing to be in the middle. I think this was the front connector on a british high speed train, but good like finding any video of it without sifting through hundreds of hours of BRITISH STEAM TRAIN AT HIGH SPEED crap.

There are automatic couplers that don't require a person to be in harms way like the Scharfenberg that have been around for a hundred years.

If you look at the very beginning of the video the tram has some other kind of coupling but it's broken, you can see an intact one that appears to be Scharfenberg or similar briefly on the tram that passes at 1:20 can we please talk about something else?
