Abstract
The paper presents the results of initial validation of the method for simulating the dynamic interaction between a pantograph and a overhead contact line. According to European Standard EN50318, the first step of validation was done, which consists of comparison of the simulation results with limit values given in European Standard for the reference model. The dynamic behaviour characteristics, in terms of TSI ENE, were calculated from simulated vibrations of the ten-span overhead contact line and the pantograph, and the rate of contact force change in time. Geometrical and mechanical parameters of the overhead contact line and the pantograph were based on the annex to European Standard EN50318. It was proved, that the part of the characteristics meets European Standard requirements and the other slightly exceed the limit values. Based on the analysis, the direction of further research was proposed.
