Pantograph Sensor
The Pantograph Sensor performs just like a normal PMU, but is designed for being attached to the pantograph. The pantograph sensor monitors trends and deviations and sends data to be processed by the machine learning algorithms. It registers any potential faults or errors of the pantograph itself – as well as any potential damage to both the carbon rail and the catenary line.
The data is processed in real-time, and the system carefully monitors the status of both infrastructure and locomotive components, which in turn enables preventative measures. Damages to the catenary line or the carbon fiber rail can result in the patograph getting caught, resulting in catastrophic tear-down of the catenary lines. If a failure should occur, the train driver is alerted instantly via the “MyTrain” app, and can stop the train to prevent further damage.
