Railway Overhead Wiring Structures in Australia: Review and Structural Assessment

Abstract: Overhead wiring structures (OWS) provide physical support to overhead electrical wires that power trains. They are typically spaced at 50 to 70 m. In a rail network, tens of thousands of these structures are required. Although they are simple structures, due to their numbers; design, construction and maintenance often involve large capital investments. Their reliability is also crucial to a safe operating rail network. This paper presents a review of OWS in Australia. Electrification of train services began in… Show more

“…Due to increase in the speed and also the safety of railway transport, many segments of railways are reconstructed and turned into electric in Slovakia. The overhead traction lines and supporting structures are crucial part of electrified railways and must achieve the strict and required geometrical parameters as seen in [1]. The simplified scheme of overhead traction line part is depicted in Figure 1.…”
