The need

To develop and supply a unique prototype for measuring contact wire movements when passing a pantograph at a maximum speed of 350 km/h.

This study also includes the development of a contact wire motion measurement demonstrator, including an associated Human Machine Interface (HMI).

Our value proposition

The solution we have developed is a device designed to measure the passage of an MR at low, medium and high speeds, with a view to vehicle homologation.

The solution is presented as an alternative to the fixed-station measurement solutions used at specific SNCF sites.

The system consists of the following components:

  1. An optical measuring and processing unit
  2. A positioning tripod
  3. Mains power supply
  4. A carrying case for the elements (excluding tripods)
