Abstract: International interest is growing for improving performance of the rail transport system. A crucial problem for railway companies is to prevent damages to the overhead line equipment and to pantographs. A brief overview of our research activities is ad-dressed, in the fields of active pantographs and advanced methods for measuring the qual-ity of the current collection for high-speed trains. The pantograph-overhead contact wire interaction is investigated by using a phototube sensor, wavelet transform applied to the line current and infrared camera. The results obtained are relevant for monitoring the quality of the current collection and for a predictive maintenance of the pantograph and of the contact line. Copyright © 2005 IFA
