Pantograph Monitoring System - Ledatel

Effective monitoring of the pantograph and it’s connection with the overhead contact line. Vehicle power under constant control.

The system incorporates an innovative pantograph monitoring module which uses computer vision algorithms. It detects flashes at the junction of the pantograph and overhead contact line, analyzes the movement of the pantograph head on the overhead contact line and issues alerts when acceptable limits are exceeded. Incidents are registered and sent to the central application.
