Catenary

Correct contact between the pantograph and the catenary is essential for efficient train operation. This can be ensured by continuously monitoring forces and acceleration using optical sensors integrated into the pantograph design.
The fully autonomous system integrated in standard vehicles provides real-time insights into the quality of overhead lines and enables new approaches for predictive maintenance.
