Hardware-in-the-loop testing of pantograph for homologation

This paper reports about research being undertaken as part of the PantoTRAIN project, presently run under the coordination of UNIFE, presenting possible "Hardware-in-the-Loop" (HiL) testing methods for railway pantographs, and assessing their possible use in view of pantograph homologation. Two alternative HiL testing methods are considered in the paper: "open...
