Smart monitoring in train systems

Objective

This proposal aims at new needs for diagnostics on trains and electrical infrastructure due to the deregulation and interoperability of the EU track. The contact between overhead contact line OCL and current collector/pantograph is an interface between new established track & train operators. Permanently monitoring the thermal & mechanical stress load caused by a train running under the OCL allows to predict the resulting wear. This allows enhanced cost transparency for the operators, makes predictive maintenance possible and allows more efficient, faster and safer use of existing stock. The interoperability in a very heterogeneous EU electrical infra structural net will be increased. For high-speed trains, load monitoring is becoming essential, as non-optimised contact forces produce excessive wear and cause environmental noise. The EU is addressing these goals with a planned upgrade of existing rail network, Trans-European Net.
