Summary:
This paper presents anadvanced pantograph-catenary-vehicle-trackmodel which allows the coupled simulation of the complete system. The model developed is able to evaluate the contact force generated in the catenary-pantograph and wheel-track interactions. Nevertheless, this paper focuses on the possible influence of the vehicle-track system in the catenary-pantograph dynamic interaction. Moreover, the effects of considering track irregularities and short-bridge ways are analyzed.The techniques employed in the simulation are widely known and therefore the formulation of its equations is not studied in depth.
