Technology for its own sake?
--- "Chris Game" wrote: Or one of those detector thingies they have on the back of BMWs to detect an obstruction whilst you're backing.. No moving parts. Why bother with a hardware solution at all? It can all be done with software. The onboard computer already has a list of stations that the train will be calling at, for the scrolling electronic displays: "This train calls at..." It also has to keep count of which stations it has already called at, so it can update the displays each time: "The next station is..." Just use that information to decide whether or not to open the doors at each station. Problem solved. |
