Abstract

A study of European railroad systems revealed that a large number of pantographs of different lengths are used in Europe, and even in the same country, multiple types of pantographs are allowed depending on the type of line. For example, France is using the type of pantographs of 1600 mm, Norway is using the type of pantographs of 1800 mm, Austria is using the type of pantographs of 1950 mm, Estonia is using the type of pantographs of 2000 mm or 2200mm. Different lengths of pantographs have certain influence on railroad design, and various factors such as pull-out value, locator length and turnout arrangement need to be considered during contact network plan design. At the same time, different countries have their own independent requirements for pantograph types in addition to the European standards that must be met. In this paper, the use of pantograph type is analyzed through the investigation and study of a section of railroad in Serbia, and the possibility of using 1950 mm pantograph in Serbian railroad is explored. Ultimately, through practical investigation and theoretical analysis, we concluded that there was no problem in using a 1950mm pantograph in Serbia. In addition to the influence factors mentioned in the paper, the actual design also needs to consider the problem of connecting with the existing line.
