Results of using the continuous monitoring system for railway overhead catenary at the section Torbino – Borovenka of speed line St. Petersburg – Moscow
Annotation:
The paper analyzes the results of the subsystem for continuous monitoring
of vibration impacts on the railway catenary on the tension sections at the
pilot facility of speed line St. Petersburg – Moscow. During the processing of
diagnostic information more than 1 million diagnostic events have been considered.
These statistics data allowed to systematize all diagnostic events and to establish
some patterns for one or another emergency situations in the railway catenary,
including the allocation of some typical pre-failure conditions and failures. The
results of operation of the subsystem for continuous monitoring of vibration impacts
on the railway catenary provide the insights into the best practices and the necessity
of expanding the system’s functional capabilities for its further implementation and
replication, which is quite important during the construction of speed and highspeed
main railway lines.
