The pantograph operation supervision system allows for the analysis of its position in relation to traction and the recording of flares. If the line of contact between the collector and the traction line is established outside the acceptable area, in the event of a discharge or damage to the pantograph overlay, a part of the recorded image is specially marked and blocked against overwriting. The dispatcher is informed about this fact through the management system (dispatcher software for monitoring systems in vehicles), which automatically downloads photos from the event with GPS position. This allows, among others to report the failure to the OCL administrator. The pantograph observation cameras are housed in heated
housings with infrared illuminators and optionally with a self-cleaning function.

System Features:
analysis of position and inclination in relation to traction
traction flare analysis
analysis built into the camera
integration with the on-board management / diagnostics system and the vehicle monitoring system.
