A report on Positive Train Control (PTC), a train safety control that Congress has mandated for most of America’s major commuter and freight rail lines. The technology was supposed to be installed by 2015, but Congress has extended the deadline twice, now to 2020. PTC is a computerized system that uses technology like Wi-Fi and GPS to transmit information from sensors and signals along the tracks to and from the trains, amounting to an automated braking system that would prevent deadly accidents.
Includes interviews with: Mark James, a CSX freight train engineer who was involved in a train crash in Cayce, South Carolina in 2018; Robert Sumwalt, chairman, National Transportation Safety Board; Albert Linden, owner of the electrical contracting business; and Pat Desir, engineer, Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority.

Description
Dr Roger Rassool, a senior lecturer in the School of Physics at Melbourne University, explores different approaches to teaching electronics. He shows that questions about the physics underlying household devices can be used to engage students and promote discussion. Demonstrations include: internal reflection of light in water from a watering can, and a model of sound transmitted optically.
