The reset intervals for alertors vary with speed. At 79 mph, it's typically about 20 seconds; at 10, it's about 45. An alertor would have prevented the head-end sideswipe of June, 2006, at the east end of Kismet (BNSF Valley Sub). Most of the time an alertor prevents problems. However, no matter how closely you set the alertor up to monitor the crew, there are always going to be occasions that they don't (and can't) save the day. Same goes for PTC and all that happy horse exhaust.
