Car Width?[edit]

What is the width of the train cars? Jigen III (talk) 14:23, 26 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Is the Fleet of the Future using MITRAC?[edit]

In this edit, I moved how the traction systems were worded according to what was explained in the article, but like how I summarised it, I am not sure what the Bombardier MOVIA D/E cars are using; it is possible they're using MITRAC. MITRAC in case you haven't noticed is the acronym for Modular Integrated TRACtion system. I can't add this info until a source can be provided, so if you can send me any reliable sources that mention Bombardier or MOVIA or MITRAC and that I can also verify, that would be great.

Acceleration[edit]

The section headed Traction motors gives the starting acceleration of "3.0 mph/s or 4.8 km/(h⋅s)". I have not previously encountered units such as 'mph/s' and 'km/(h⋅s)'. Acceleration is length/second/second (i.e. LT^-2 in dimensioning notation); in the fps (imperial) system, acceleration is ft/s², and in the SI (metric) system it's m/s². 3.0 mph/s and 4.8 km/(h⋅s) are equivalent to 4.4 ft/s² or 1.33 m/s². The equivalent residual acceleration figures for 0.78 mph/s or 1.26 km/(h⋅s) are 1.14 ft/s² and 0.35 m/s². The equivalent deceleration rates for 0.45 mph/s and 0.72 km/(h⋅s) are 0.66 ft/s² and 0.2 m/s²; the upper rates are the same as for the starting acceleration. I haven't modified the article because this notation may be a US peculiarity. Prisoner of Zenda (talk) 06:29, 8 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
