I don't know what it is, but there is something really magical about trams. We used to have trams in Perth up until the 1950s... wish they had kept them.
Ik heb twee jaar geleden Den Haag bezocht en het was super leuk. Toen ik daar was, reed ik op alle tramlijnen dus is het heel interessant om te zien wat gebeurt er in de bestuurderscabines. (Ik ben het Nederlands aan het leren.)
That's very good Dutch, then! Just one tiny mistake that's worth mentioning, regarding word order: "wat gebeurt er" is a question. In a statement, you need "wat er gebeurt".
You are completely right! Accidents cannot always be avoided, but for sure good anticipation can drastically reduce their frequency and severity. And even then sometimes (like this one) I am caught off-guard. I always try to learn and improve after moments like this.
@@YavuzKaraman maybe he honks his horn out of a reflex. You dont know what he thinks or what is going on in his head. The biggest problem of all is, that people on the internet think they know what happens in someone's head. Every person reacts different to situations, doesn't make them a bad person at all
I've always seen it as signalling to pedestrians, cyclists, or whoever: Hey, you probably saw that the tram stopped and therefore that it's no longer a danger and you can, for example, safely cross the road. Well, I'm now moving again so keep that in mind, watch out.
honestly trains and trams would be the one thing i could absolutely see being automated before cars. im suprised they havent made your job more of just a *backup* yet
I think it will take a long time before we would trust any kind of automation to take over from humans. Especially with trams, where you are participating in regular traffic with a vehicle that weighs 50 tonnes. For now at least, the human at the controls is essential.
automated trains do exist and are quite common, but most of the time they are assisted with a human conductor but for situations like trams that share the road i think 6-8 years maybe?
there is no push for automation because it does not make economical sense. Trains and trams are higher risk than cars due to shear size. Additionally only 1 conductor is necessary for a lot of goods/passengers hence it is cheaper to pay one human driver compared to cars that mostly drive empty.
Why is nobody pointing out that this is, like, the only intersection without proper traffic control devices? It looks like most if not all of the other intersections have lighted traffic/pedestrian/train signals. A couple of blue signs and some pavement striping is all that I see at the EMERGENCY BRAKE applied! intersection? It appears that the train was in the blind spot of the car the entire time with the parked cars and the van at the end. Good work on the train driver. What a crap intersection of all of the various traffic.
In Amsterdam and Rotterdam there are a lot of intersections like this. A car driver should know he is crossing a tram track and therefore should look befor turning. This isn't dangerous and seen as pretty normal. The wite triangles mean that you have to give way to crossing traffic, something he didn't. It can be true that the tram was in the blind spot, but if you don't be 100%sure there isnt a tram, you don't cross. A tram has always the right-away and thats taught at driving school, so he knows. By law a cardriver is always in the wrong with trams for this exact reason.
How do you drive these? I don't see no drive/brake lever. Are they foot pedals with a dead man's switch? Our Siemens Supertram's use a drive/brake lever with built in dead mans switch which you operate with your right hand.
how do you control it there?? in the Czech Republic we control with a lever . I'll tell you the truth, the Czech Republic produced the first tram in the world.
Oef, confronterende comment. Maar ik denk wel dat je gelijk hebt. Ik rijd nog niet zo lang voor mezelf en merk dat ik soms nog (te) veel beïnvloed wordt door het verkeer en de tijd. Maar ik probeer iedere dag te verbeteren! Als antwoord op je vraag: wij mogen 15 km/u over inrijwissels en baanvaksnelheid over uitrijwissels zodra we ze opengereden hebben (anders ook 15 km/u).
Logische reactie op 9:31 maar hier had je geen noodremming moeten plegen. Het letsel dat je aan potentieel honderden mensen in je tram had kunnen aandoen (valrisico van met name oudere reizigers) weegt niet op tegen wat blikschade. Dit wordt als het goed is ook in de opleiding geleerd. Neemt niet weg dat de automobilist uiteraard fout is
Goed punt, maar uiteindelijk maken we hier een beslissing in een fractie van een seconde, en dan is er niet altijd tijd voor een uitgebreide risicoanalyse. Daarnaast wist ik via de camerabeelden dat er op dat moment geen mensen stonden en daarmee weinig risico was op valpartijen.
Zolang wij een kruising kunnen overzien en het risico kunnen waarborgen mogen we met baanvaksnelheid passeren. Maar, zoals ik op je andere comment heb geantwoord, ik rij inderdaad nog niet defensief genoeg en daar probeer ik aan te werken! Desondanks zou ik nooit grote risico's nemen en dat heb ik ook nooit gedaan in mijn werk als bestuurder. Ik rij pas een paar maanden dus moet nog ervaring opdoen!
Geen probleem en was ook niet negatief bedoeld, maar ben zelf 8 jaar tramchauffeur in antwerpen en vallen mij gewoon dingen op😀 leuke en heldere video wel
@@betkaboop7049 Bedankt, en constructieve kritiek is juist goed 👍 Ben ook benieuwd naar de Antwerpse trams. Zijn er kanalen met cabineritten uit jullie stad? :)
Can't believe the car still honked at you even though they were most definetly in the wrong.
People still think they can beat the train.
Some car drivers are just egoistic idiots
I also drive this tram and you wont believe how many times a day this happens
Daily life of tramwaydrivers!
they expect the tram to steer outta the way
9:30
Thank you ❤
Car honks, because they know only one Yield rule: "I am faster, others yield, not me."
Thx
Thanks!
tyyyy
no matter where you go in the world, there's always that one driver who honks back as if to say "It's your fault I didn't look where I was going"
it was a "I'm sorry" honk, at least let us believe it for a better world ;)
I don't know what it is, but there is something really magical about trams. We used to have trams in Perth up until the 1950s... wish they had kept them.
Australia would have been so much better if we kept all our trams
A nice tour of the city! Great video footage!
Thank you, happy you enjoyed it! :)
Nice to see that in almost all vehicles in Europe the cockpit is made by the Italian company Spii
Definitely not. Mine is make by scania ans spii has nothing to do with it. And most vehicles dont have anything of spii
That car ignored the right of way for the tram 😮 That was almost a collision 😱 Wasn't far away before it could crash.
Ik waardeer het enorm dat je ons meeneemt op deze reizen - groeten uit Nieuw-Zeeland!
Ik vind deze video erg leuk, vooral de thumbnail!

Gotta be defensive with the cars-- he might have been fooling with his GPS, phone, whatever in there!
Stay safe out there!

True that even moreso in Amsterdam! whats up!! 😂😂😂 caught in the wild
Tram operator looks like a calm job
Emergency brake is 9:30 in the video.
9:30 what a bad driver in the car!
Doesnt have to be a bad driver. He is human, and a human makes mistakes. You also make mistakes, doesn't automatically make you a bad person
@@larsmeijerink5471 Not a bad driver, a s#it driver.

Indeed, to signal people around us that we are moving and accelerating.
9:31 is when the EB is applied
Isn't. the emergency break the red button on the control panel?
do you drive the train with the foot?
It looks like it ☺️
Our Siemens Supertram's use a drive/brake lever which is on the console, operated by your right hand. Very ergonomic!
yea here in Dresden we have also siemens trams which you you control with your left hand @@JRWilson242
@@JRWilson242Lol It's a Tram🚊 not a Train 🚇
Yes. He is one of my colleagues. Siemens made special adjustments for foot pedals

BISOUS BONJOUR DE LA FRANCE BIENVENUE JADORE CONTINUER MERCI
Leuk om zo te zien.
Ik ben benieuwd, zet je zelf de wissels om of gaat dit automatisch?
En heb je geen RSI van die bel indrukken ondertussen? 😂
You make it soo Easy to do! Wish America was like that :\
Nice video!
Thank you!
car driver: i missed the part where that was my problem
Читая коменты, не наткнулся ни на одного русского.
А я окажусь им и скажу что я просто залип, смотря на это видео..
Клево наблюдать за дорогой..
what is the game??)
This is real life...
😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😵😵😵😵😵😵
It's sad that Poland can't into trams :(
9:32 *click* *click *BEEEP*
9:33 aaaaaaa
the sound are like in the hyundai rotem 140N
17:07 An example of what multi kulti politics has done to the country. Barriers protecting walking people from speeding cars.
what does multiculturalism have to do with that?
ahem... rule the first... if it is bigger than you... do not fuck with it
Car driver thinks he has the right of way 💀
13:23 jesus that lane management is terrible
how do you control it there?? in the Czech Republic we control with a lever . I'll tell you the truth, the Czech Republic produced the first tram in the world.
It is controlled with foot pedals.

oh crap.. Just stop and call the police!! That driver should have their license taken away! They were in the WRONG!!
there is no reason to call the police and you can not take their license away just for that little thing XD
