Fibre Optic Sensing System for Monitoring of Current Collectors and Catenary of Railways
in: Journal of Sensors and Sensor Systems (2017)
Fibre optic sensors are excellent tools to use for monitoring of high voltage current collectors. Because of their small cross section and electrical neutrality, they are easily integrated into the current collector strip and are well specialized for detection of high-speed load events. The conventional contact force measurement with four force sensors below the collector strips can also be simplified by using fibre optic force and acceleration sensors.
