Abstract
Traction overhead line equipment design has developed over decades by a process of
progressive adoption of configurations developed through empirical learning.
Systems and system components have been set into service with trains of a particular
type and at an initial speed of operation. But the relative longevity of fixed traction
systems inevitably over time stretches the operational specification as new
generations of trains are introduced. This has produced an evolutionary process of
development marked by arbitrary rules, which when applied secure the desired
dynamic performance. A new approach based on measured data and simulation is
described in this work.
