Abstract :
This paper deals with the control of the Pantograph-catenary interaction for high-speed-trains. This problem is directly related to the electric train current collection quality and efficiency. Our main contributions are the derivation of new mathematical description in terms of a multiple model as an alternative to existing time varying ones and further the proposition of an LMI control law to keep the contact force between the pantograph and the catenary close to a desired value in various operating conditions.
