the thing that got me about those people who tracked the tail number on his jet is that he went to ireland to the game of thrones set. like, is that something billionaires do? "oh hey producer man my kid wants to see the naked actresses will you give us a tour if we show up next week sometime?" do they just slide the dude some cash like a bouncer? it's ridiculous. also atomicthumbs is cool attribution is dead hail satan

Lonoxmont posted:Which is fine for systems where you can ensure you will never have more than one train in the same block at the same time, or two trains approaching each other without a passing track/siding. At least in the (small) metro system in my town, they just have one track on each side of the platforms, one for one direction and one for the opposite. Turnaround loop at each end of the line. Kind of wish they would let people ride during the turnaround, but they make everyone get off of the trains. I guess it has to do with a noise thing? It is pretty noisy from what echoes out of the tunnel. already engaging in trainchat ...they grow up so fast

ate all the Oreos posted:im sure computer vision and AI and big gyroscopes could do that just fine, it's a solved problem ate all the Oreos posted:just have the trains go up on two wheels to go around each other like in cartoons, problem solved Unfortunately, you would have to make the tunnels larger to allow clearance for that, assuming you could also solve for keeping the trains from derailing in the process. Since you just made them larger, you now have room for two tracks and the more complex solution you have provided would no longer be needed.

Where I live is like right on the edge of needing a metro in the downtown, built-up areas. Doesn't make sense to have a huge sprawling system with how town is laid out, just one line does what we need for now.

the end goal with them was to have them going insanely fast because they can bank very sharp turns automatically without any special equipment, so that's fun

Even leaning opposite directions, I think clearance would be an issue.

Lonoxmont posted:Well, to be fair, as long as you have another subway line running the other way running somewhat close to it, and some method of transferring trains from one tunnel to the other at each end, could still work. Still not the best solution, mind you, but theoretically fixable. As I understand it, most actual subway systems tend to run somewhat like this anyways, at least the smaller ones I have personally been on. Can't speak for the larger, more complex ones. he wants a 14' diameter tunnel because the standard is 28' "and making it 'half' as large means it'll be cheaper"

President Beep posted:didn't he say half as cheap, or am i imagining that? even better How can we reduce the cost of tunneling? First, reduce the tunnel diameter. The current standard for a one-lane tunnel is approximately 28 feet. By placing vehicles on a stabilized electric skate, the diameter can be reduced to less than 14 feet. Reducing the diameter in half reduces tunneling costs by 3-4 times. see how far you can read past that point i made it to "how do i get a tunnel in my city" before i had to stop
