Using Bogie-Mounted Sensors to Understand the Dynamics of Third Rail Current Collection Systems

Last updated on 22 August 2014 3:05

Electric railways collect power from the infrastructure via various current collection systems. For high-voltage AC- and DC-powered railways, this is usually achieved using overhead electrification equipment and a train-borne pantograph. The dynamics of such systems are well understood, and the systems are able to be operated under a range of...
