Reliability Analysis of the Third Rail System Based on Fault Tree

A Review of Power Transfer Systems for Light Rail Vehicles: The Case for Capacitive Wireless Power Transfer

“…device point on the underside of the LRV bogey [15]. In this way, a similar effect of the OCS system can be achieved, where a direct contact connection is utilised for power transfer, but with distinct advantages.…”

“…The most common implementation of this system is the third rail system (TRS). TRS consists of two primary components: a third rail that runs parallel to the primary rails of the track, as well as a connection/support device point on the underside of the LRV bogey [15]. In this way, a similar effect of the OCS system can be achieved, where a direct contact connection is utilised for power transfer, but with distinct advantages.…”

“…TRS, due to its location and lack of exposed components, results in a more robust power transfer system [16] and one that is resistant to electromagnetic interference [3]. TRS is often cheaper to implement than OCS, due to not requiring support frameworks and extended maintenance schedules [15,17]. Figure 2 shows a traditional implementation of TRS in the London Underground [18].…”

“…This leaves an evident lack of review into CPT for large-scale applications. However, with the increasing uptake and interest in CPT systems, few recent examples of review papers covering CPT technology exist [12][13][14][15][16][17][18]. These papers either present a review of WPT as applied to one specific application or a review of only recent developments, operational principles, and current limitations of CPT as a modality over the last five years.…”

Disposal for the Pinching People and Objects Accidents in Fully Automated Operation Urban Rail Transit Lines Based on Fault Tree Analysis

“…Pang Yanzhi et al used the fault tree method to analyze the feasibility of the train delay accident caused by the air brake relief relay failure on Nanning Metro Line 1 and provided relevant suggestions for driving safety [25]. Faults and their prevention have received attention from countries around the world [26,27].…”
