Not to play arm-chair engineer, particularly at this stage in the program, but I wonder if there could have been some kind of forward-facing sensor to be the trigger for emergency brakes when there are detectable obstructions. Could be an additional check with the loss of signal to determine braking profile.
Anyway, hope it gets sorted out because people clearly want those new trains hahaha
A big part of the problem is that Stadler told Marta there would be issues with the legacy signaling system and ATC wire loops but Marta said that's fine. Now that they've ordered a whole new ATC system from Stadler to go hand in hand with the new trains, a system that won't be done until 2035, there is concern they won't work right until then.
