Measurement of the Contact Force of the Pantograph by Image Processing Technology

Last updated on 29 May 2014 8:40

Contact force between a pantograph and catenary is one of the most important indices for evaluating the contact performance of the pantograph-catenary system. Hence, some contact force measuring methods have been developed. However, currently used measurement methods have some problems. Firstly, the installation of sensors in a panhead could affect...
