This paper is a review of the effect of vehicle characteristics on ground-and track borne-
vibrations from railways. It combines traditional theory with modern thinking and uses a …

This paper aims to provide an overview of the present status of research in pantograph–
overhead line interaction and to outline future research challenges. A review of currently …

This paper describes the results of a voluntary benchmark initiative concerning the
simulation of pantograph–catenary interaction, which was proposed and coordinated by …

Most of the high-speed trains in operation today have the electrical power supply delivered
through the pantograph–catenary system. The understanding of the dynamics of this system …

In high-speed rail operations, the irregularity of the overhead system is a typical disturbance
that affects the pantograph-catenary interaction performance. The existing methods, which …

The standard approach to railway vehicle dynamic analysis includes running the vehicle
multibody models in rigid railway tracks. The wheel–rail contact, independently of the rolling …

In this investigation, the pantograph/catenary contact is examined using two different
formulations. The first is an elastic contact formulation that allows for the catenary/panhead …

The quality of the current collection of high-speed trains is dependent on the compatibility of
the catenary and pantograph dynamics and on its implications on the contact force. The …

The interaction between the catenary and pantograph is one of the most crucial factors that
determine the train operation in high-speed railway. The bad state of catenary is able to …

In general the electrical energy is provided to the trainsets by the pantograph–catenary
contact. The study of this system contributes to decrease the number of incidents and the …
