Project Details
Description
Pantograph-Catenary systems are the governing factor for railway vehicles’ current collection quality. Traditional dampers cannot effectively suppress contact force oscillations, leading to excessive infrastructure wear, poor energy collection and travelling speed limitations.
This project has: 1) shown a 40%+ improvement on the pantograph-catenary interaction dynamics, 2) successfully developed the Bristol Pantograph-Catenary Testing Bed for next step testing and verification.
