It is important to evaluate current collection performance based on results of a bench test where sliding between overhead contact lines (OCL) and pantograph is considered. This study proposes methodology of hardware-in-the-loop simulation (HILS) for the current collection systems using RTRI’s High-Speed Test Facility for Pantograph/OCL Systems (HiPaC) being in operation since 2020. In the proposed HILS, the contact force between pantograph head and vertical actuator is estimated from strain measured at the pantograph head. It is validated that the dynamic interaction between OCL and pantograph due to span-passing of the pantograph can be evaluated by the proposed HILS.
