Abstract
Most modern high-speed railway systems use electric power for their operation. The current for the traction power is transferred from an overhead catenary structure to the train via a sliding contact between the contact wire and the mechanical structure known as the pantograph, which is mounted on the roof of the train. The contact wire is properties for the piezoelectric material is presented. Classical control theory is applied for this SISO, time-invariant system design.
