Characteristics of 3rd Rail Type Power Collector for the Rubber-Tired AGT Light Rail Vehicle

고무차륜 AGT 경량전철용 제3궤조 집전장치 특성해석

This study was aimed to establish the acceptable contact force range between power collector and 3rd rail type conductor rail, and ramp slope for the Korean standardized rubber-tired AGT light rail vehicle. Dynamic behavior of the power collector, contact force variation and interruption in operation, were analyzed in the worst installation tolerance and various ramp slope of the conductor rail. The power collector was designed and manufactured to satisfy the Korean Standardized Specifications of the rubber-tired AGT light rail vehicle.
