The innovation that will make it safer for trains to stop is Positive Train Control (PTC). This is GPS-based safety technology that has the ability to prevent train-to-train collisions, over-speed derailments, unauthorized incursion into work zones and train movement from switches left in the wrong position. PTC monitors and, if need be, controls train movement in case human error occurs. PTC may also bring trains to a safe stop if there is a natural disaster.

Why can't trains stop suddenly?

Trains can't stop suddenly because of their large size and weight. It takes a longer distance for a train to slow down and come to a complete stop compared to smaller vehicles like cars. The momentum of the train makes it difficult to stop quickly, which is why trains need to slow down gradually to avoid accidents.

Why do trains take so long to stop?

Trains take a long time to stop because of their size and weight. The momentum of a moving train is very high, so it requires a lot of force to slow down and come to a complete stop. Additionally, trains rely on friction between the wheels and the tracks to stop, which can take a longer distance compared to other vehicles.
