Can a train comply with a Slow Speed Order when traversing in MATC mode?

A train can indeed comply with a Slow Speed Order while operating in MATC (Multiple Automatic Train Control) mode. Compliance is essential as it helps ensure the safety of both the train and its passengers, particularly in environments where speed restrictions are imposed for various reasons, such as track conditions, work zones, or other hazards.

Operating in MATC mode does not exempt a train from following speed restrictions. The system is designed to enhance safety by monitoring the train's speed and ensuring it operates within safe parameters. When a Slow Speed Order is in effect, the requirements must be adhered to no matter the operational mode, reinforcing the importance of maintaining vigilance and safety standards in train operations. Therefore, the requirement to comply with such orders is fundamental to safe train operations, regardless of the technology being used.
