Performance Test of $3^{rd}$ rail type power collector for rubber-tired AGT light rail vehicle

고무차륜 AGT 경량전철 차량용 제 3 궤조 집전장치의 성능시험

This study was aimed to verify the acceptable contact force between power collector and 3rd rail type conductor rail for the Korean standardized rubber-tired AGT light rail vehicle. The power collector was designed and manufactured to satisfy the Korean standardized Specifications of the rubber-tired AGT light rail vehicle. Based on the dynamic behavior, contact force variation and interruption in the worst installation tolerance of the conductor rail, its initial contact force was set up. At the test track for the Korean standardized rubber-tired AGT light rail vehicle, interruptions, stresses, vibrations, and contact force variations were measured. As the results, initial contact force was verified to ensure power collection stability.
