ATP shutdown caused the Puyouma train to overturn? Taiwan prosecutor: It is impossible to determine whether it is relevant or not. According to Taiwan's United Daily News, Jiang Zhenyu, chief prosecutor of the Yilandi Prosecutor's Office, came to the scene of the Puyouma train overturn accident again on the afternoon of October 22 to collect evidence. Regarding whether the train accident is a shutdown or malfunctioning ATP (Train Automatic Protection System) is closed or malfunctioned, Jiang Zhenyu emphasized that the current function of train machinery maintaining records is normal. Whether it is relevant cannot be determined now, a detailed interpretation and comprehensive analysis are needed.
According to the United Daily News earlier on the 22nd, Lu Jieshen, director of the Taiwan Railway Administration , (hereinafter referred to as the "Taiwan Railway Bureau"), confirmed on the same day that the driver of the accident train turned off the ATP automatic protection system. As for why and when to close it, Lu Jieshen said that it still needs to investigate according to Tonglian Records. In addition, the two-degree choke pump failure analysis should have nothing to do with derailment.
In addition, Jiang Zhenyu also clarified on the afternoon of the 22nd that the eighth carriage, the most severely damaged, was not broken in two parts, but in the middle carriage part, it was indeed under great pressure, resulting in severe damage to the car wall.
Earlier, Jiang Zhenyu led the prosecutor in charge to remove two black devices from the front and rear fronts of the car. The outside world asked whether it was a train driving recorder. Jiang Zhenyu did not respond positively, only saying that the prosecutor is currently committed to taking out the train electromagnetic records.
She said at the time that some of the opening and closing doors and startups were damaged after the train overturned, so she was still overcoming related problems. She also contacted the train factory engineer to search for relevant electromagnetic records and operation control in the car.

The driver of the Taiwan Railway overturn accident turned off the automatic protection system, which was caused by the vehicle and human factors
According to Taiwan's United Daily News, a serious cheating and overturn accident occurred on the 621st, resulting in 18 deaths and 187 injuries. Taiwan Railway Director Lu Jiesin confirmed on the 22nd that the driver turned off the ATP automatic protection system. As for why and when to close it, it still needs to be investigated based on Tonglian records. As for the choke pump failure twice, the analysis should have nothing to do with derailment.
According to the information currently available, the cause is directed at vehicles and human factors. People familiar with the matter said that although some of the train's faults have not been repaired, it became the key to suspected that the failure of the ATP automatic protection system was shut down, which also led to the train's speeding of about 130 kilometers and derailment overturn.
The Railway Bureau stated that the train had never failed in the past. The ATP on the scene was also normal and there was no fault condition when asked about the ATP on the 21st. Since the driver had to inform the Taiwan Railway dispatching station when the ATP was closed, the Railway stated that it had not confirmed whether it had received the notification.

As for the part of the driver named You, Lu Jieshen pointed out that he took office in 1998 and is currently the deputy director of operations. He usually mainly serves in scheduling and only occasionally supports services on Saturdays and Sundays. The bureau's preliminary investigation said that it was not known whether it was the driver's problem, but the preliminary investigation showed that the driver's attendance and work and schedule were normal.
Railway Bureau said that the driver surnamed You was only slightly injured and was currently staying in the emergency room for observation. Because he was extremely frightened, when he asked about the incident, he couldn't say it clearly for a moment, and no one understood what he said. The doctor told him to rest first.

was "fooled" by Japan? The Taiwan Railway train overturning accident caused many suspicions
According to Taiwan's China Times, Taiwan Railway Puyouma derailed and overturned at the Singapore and Malaysia station on the afternoon of October 21. As of 7 a.m. on October 22, 18 people have unfortunately died and 187 injured. Taiwan railway experts pointed out that the industry has long questioned that Puyouma causes much more wear and tear on tracks than ordinary trains, and this time it should be listed as the direction of investigation. There was also news that the train's automatic protection system was turned off so that it did not slow down when turning. Some people also raised five doubts about power instability before the accident, train brakes suddenly or overspeeding, pressing foreign objects, and detection system failure, but Taiwan Railway cannot confirm it yet.
Some people in the Taiwan Railways said that when the Taiwan Railway purchased Puyouma from Japan 6 years ago, it was "badged"! The inclined train will automatically tilt when turning to offset centrifugal force, including liquid-acting, mechanical-acting and other methods. Taroko is a mechanical and aerodynamic type, and is a real tilting train; but the Puyouma uses air springs, and no one in Japan dares to say "this is a tilting train", but the Taiwan Railway was not clear about the situation at the time and should now claim compensation from Japan.
The person revealed that when Japan promoted Puyouma to Taiwan, it said that "the Shinkansen also uses this system", but the Shinkansen routes in Japan are mostly straight lines, with a curved radius of more than 2,000 meters; in contrast, Taiwan's terrain is not only many curves, but the turning radius in some places is even only 300 meters. The accident site on the 21st is about 700-800 meters.
The person pointed out that according to Taiwan Railway regulations, the speed limits of Taroko, Puyouma, etc. can be 10-20 kilometers per hour higher than ordinary trains, but Taiwan Railway has obviously discovered Puyouma's problems, and internal administrative documents require drivers to lower the turn speed limit. Taroko and Puyouma are known as "the same level", but they are actually very different.
He pointed out that when the train passes a corner, due to the influence of centrifugal force, it will fall a little bit outside, so the angle needs to be detected to allow the body to automatically adjust the inclination. When Taiwan Railway purchased Puyouma, the standards were relaxed, and the rails were worn out, which made employees of the Taiwan Railway Huadong Line's engineering road team "scareless": the tracks that only lasted 3-5 years on average have now become necessary to be replaced from time to time.
Taiwan railway expert Ren Hengyi said that the train derailment accident should be investigated from three directions: human operation, vehicle system and track problems. He analyzed that the possibility of human operation is less likely to cause an accident. Since the accident site is a curve, the automatic train protection system will prevent the train from being too fast. However, if there is a problem with the system, an incorrect instruction will be given, "that railway has a bigger problem."
Ren Hengyi pointed out that he had been worried about the hidden worries caused by inclined trains before, because the swaying of the vehicle will cause greater wear on the tracks, and Taiwan Railway should attach great importance to the maintenance of the tracks. After the accident, the rails, rail wear conditions or related fasteners must be investigated clearly.
Another train driver believes that there are 20-30 trains passing through the Taiwan Railway Xinma Station every day, and it will be fine if it runs for 6 years. And according to Taiwan Railway regulations, if the previous train finds a problem with the track, it will inform the superiors and the next train will automatically slow down when passing by. No notification was received on the 21st, but the train suddenly overturned, and it was not ruled out that it was a foreign object being pressed. (According to China News Network)
