As environmental regulations on carbon emissions are strengthened worldwide, the existing internal combustion engine-centered automobile industry is being reformed. In particular, large buses and large cargo trucks are pointed out as one of the main causes of environmental destruction due to excessive carbon emissions. The E-Highway power collection system, which has recently been proposed as a solution, uses the vehicle's battery as a backup power source or regenerative braking, depending on whether the pan head of the pentograph installed in the vehicle is in contact with the overhead line. It is used to store the excess energy generated. However, wear through contact due to continuous contact reduces the current collection effect and causes failure. In this paper, by using the current difference, the horizontal position information of the panhead in contact with the overhead line is acquired, thereby reducing the abrasion of the conductor and the panhead Make it possible to follow the overhead line. The position estimation method proposed in this paper simply configures a device that can detect the position of the overhead line of the pantograph by the difference in resistance. It is economical and has the advantage of reducing the volume. The characteristics of the pantograph estimating the location of overhead lines were analyzed using the difference between the two currents of the current collector, the feasibility of the positioning estimation system was verified through simulations and experiments.

The TTX(Tilting Train eXpress) is designed to achieve high driving speed up to 200 km/h and to run on conventional curved rails without speed reduction. In order to maintain power collection between catenary and pantograph collector while train body is tilted, the TTX pantograph must have tilting structure (or Sledge). The power quality is determined by the tilting structure. Static and dynamic characteristics of tilting structure, therefore, are important to evaluate the pantograph performance. The current prototype of the tilting structure is overweight model and its structural characteristics have not been investigated. In this study, the finite element model of TTX tilting structure is established and static analysis is performed. Finally, using this result, a light weight model is proposed.

This paper deal with maximum span calculation technique for 350km/h high speed catenary system. Considers a geometric interaction, possible maximum span length is between two pole. Wind condition and the train current collector is moving even to being pantograph does not escape while operating. Uses like this justice and possible maximum span length is follow next condition. (i) Operating range of pantograph fan head, (ii) The wind velocity which assumes from system, (iii) Width in pantograph from operation height moving, (iv) Type of processing Catenary system, specially tensile strength of overhead contact wire and messenger wire etc. When accurately calculates the maximum permission span, the dropper between of overhead contact wire and messenger wire and must consider the correlation.

This paper is about the copper slider with high electric conductivity and resistance arc. A new copper slider which has enhanced resistance against frictional wear was developed. By alteration of its material components and manufacturing process, its material property has been enhanced. To verify its enhanced wear-resisting capacity, a laboratory test and a field test were carried out. As the laboratory test, a dynamo test was performed and its test result showed that the developed new copper slider had superior wear-resisting capacity to the currently used copper slider. The new one showed double durability of the current one and normal wearing characteristics. A filed test was performed on the Metro subway lines at service by Seoul Metro. The field test showed similar results to those from the laboratory test, which the d eveloped new copper slider has double superior durability and sound wearing patterns. Authors strongly believe that the replacement of the copper slider currently in use by the developed new one will contribute to the economic and efficient operation of the subway line system
