Q5 -- THSR Design of Emergency Response does not pull the emergency brake
unnecessarily
ALLEGATIONS
緊急應變方面，一旦列車在行進途中偵測到前方有危險時，新幹線會操作緊急地面開關，
讓鄰近供電系統全部斷電，立即緊急煞住附近所有列車。但台灣高鐵列車不會立即緊急煞
車，而是繼續減速前進，這與日系主張遇到危險優先停車的設計概念截然不同。
In Emergency response, the Shinkansen train would switch on and power off all
the trains nearby while the train is approaching dangers.
The THSR train will not brake immediately but will decelerate and keep on
moving. The design is quite different from the one in Japanese system.
FACTS and CORRECTIONS
1. Whenever a disaster warning signal is received, all the trains in the
affected areas will have an “immediate and forceful stop”.
2. The disasters signals include the following 4 types:
- Earthquake
- Intrusion detector (road vehicle)
- Landslide
- Rock fall
3. It is important to note that the emergency brake should only be applied when
it is absolutely necessary.
4. Sudden braking is another potential cause of passenger injury especially for
passengers who are walking on the aisle or who are not seated down.
5. In order to ensure the emergency brake is applied only when it is necessary,
THSRC signal design has the following features:
- In the event of earthquake, the train will engage/initiate the sharp
emergency brake within 0.5 sec response time
- In the event of intrusion, landslide, or rock fall, the system will
automatically calculate the distance between the incident site and the train
location to determine how rapidly the train needs to decelerate in order to
stop completely before reaching the incident site
6. If the distance is very short to the site, the train will come to a stop
more abruptly. If the distance allows, the train will come to a smoother stop.
