The maximum speed of trains for urban rail transit is 60


The maximum speed of trains for urban rail transit is 60 mph and maximum acceleration/deceleration rates allowed for standing passengers are 5 feet/sec2.

Part A) If the station spacing is determined at 1000 ft, what is the maximum average running speed?

Part B) If the station spacing is increased to 2000 ft, how is the maximum average running speed affected? Calculate the speed, compare it with the speed from question Part A, and calculate the relative change in percentage.

Part C) If the station spacing is 2000 ft and the train speed can be raised, is the maximum average running speed unlimited? If not, calculate the maximum average running speed in theory and determine the maximum train speed required to reach the maximum average running speed in theory.
