I like that. How would that work when there is no lead train? In other words how would a train know that it is not hearing from the train before it because there is no train, vs not hearing because the lead train is damaged/emergency braking.
- londons_explore 4y agoSee my other response in this thread - an actual deployment would require every train on the tracks to automatically submit a 'plan' for it's location, and if it cannot submit a plan, then it isn't allowed on the tracks. Plans last until replaced by a new plan, so a train will always have at least a place on the track it can be. It doesn't solve the problem of 'there is a tree on the tracks' or 'someone put a homemade train on the tracks' - you need a different solution to that.
