Low Jerk Throttle & Brake Controllers for Public Buses

Some railroad reg. requires a passenger train to decelerate with a jerk < 2 m/sec^3. Don't how or even if they do it on trains but it's a good idea to keep the jerk down when passengers are out of their seats and walking to an exit.

It could be done automatically on public buses to reduce tumbling down the aisle incidents. It would also reduce the multi tasking load on bus drivers trying to pull out into heavy traffic before passengers are seated..

The brake pedal would have an override, i.e., stomping all the way down, in case a pedestrian stepped out in front of the bus.

The number of elderly will soar along with fuel prices so this will save a lot of lives.

There has to be a reason why you've posted this on alt.g-w, surely?

He doesn't feel like he exists if someone is not giving him sh*t about his ideas. Plenty of that being flung in alt.g-w.

You were against high jerk aircraft and now it appears you oppose low jerk vehicles.

You get one more chance:

Get back and tell us how it turned out.

Newsgroups have charters. Newsgroups have recommended guidelines for posting. The first guideline, is post to only one newsgroup. The second guideline is if the topic of discussion is really also germaine to another newsgroup, then add another one. If you go over 3, you are a spammer.

You had no idea what you were talking about in jerking aircraft or ships apart, and only continued to post, contradicting yourself with every other post, as long as anyone replied to you. This albatross is hanging over your shoulder.

Reducing / controlling jerk in a multiton passenger vehicle is NOT a topic for alt.g-w. So you have to be looking for emotional "stokes".

Unless ignorance of a poster needs to be exposed.

In that case your only hope is to proffer some calculations or reasoning or everyone will be able to see you can't do 2nd year level engineering.

AGND (ain't got no data) climate change deniers are a staple on alt.global warming.

Climate scientists need to know that there are also have AGNC (ain't got no calculations) technology deniers.

The ignorance of a poster is not your responsibility. You do not have a big red S on your chest. In this case, from post #1, you posted to off topic newsgroups, namely alt.g-w. It is your ignorance being highlighted. And even after pointing this out, you continue to violate the guidelines.

Why would you want to do this, in front of God and everybody? And then feel you were qualified to expose the ignorance of posters?

Which has f*ck-all to do with accel/decel control sytems on buses et al.

And are you naive enough to believe your crossposting to unrelated newsgroups will change any of that?

No you are clearly posting only for attention, like a little child throwing a tantrum.

It's not merey a right but a duty:

"Enlighten the public generally . . ."

-- Jefferson

Buses get 200 passenger miles / gallon.

Right now that "gallon" represents over 8 lbs of carbon, 29 lbs CO2.

A bus is 4X better than a new Prius with one occupant.

Moreover, the outspoken poster who originally complained about the cross posting, "Dawlish," has tacitly admitted I was correct by STFU on the new thread on alt.global-warming

No Point In Discussing Climate Change w/o Discussing Solutions

You are endarkening them. You have no real ideas. You have no facts that you've checked. You do not follow the rules of this society, and you continue to show us your underwear at every turn.

A "standard" passenger car with 1 occupant managed to get 100 miles per gallon. Big deal with your bus. It takes me across town just as fast as a horse would. How many gallons of fuel does a horse burn?

In the Universe I live in, and gallon of "gasoline" weighs in at a tad over 6 pounds, which is less carbon, and less CO2. Again you spout without thinking.

Has nothing to do with this thread you started.

No point in discussing accel/decel control strategies in alt.g-w.

...

Your clothing is on fire, and it is funny as hell. Recommend you look to not acting so stupid and thoughtless.

But I know you cannot help yourself.
