There is provided a system for determining a maintenance status of a pantograph and/or a contact wire. The system comprises at least one emitter arranged on the vehicle, configured to emit radio waves, at least one reflector arranged on the pantograph, configured to reflect radio waves emitted by the emitter, at least one detector arranged on the vehicle, configured to detect at least a portion of the reflected radio waves, and generate detector data. The system comprises a control unit configured to receive the detector data, calculate at least one distance based on the received detector data, calculate at least one acceleration of the pantograph based on the calculated at least one distance, and determine the maintenance status based on at least one of the calculated at least one distance and the calculated at least one acceleration, wherein the maintenance status indicates a level of wear on at least one of the pantograph and the contact wire.
