If a failure of components of a transport-system sliding contact can be predicted, preventive maintenance that is sometimes unnecessary is eliminated and an alternative run-to-failure approach associated with downtime can be avoided. A system and a method detect wear of a transport system, which system has a sliding contact with a current collector mounted on a vehicle and a current-carrying conductor. The vehicle travels along the current-carrying conductor, the current collector being pressed against the current-carrying conductor. Vibrations produced during the driving motion are registered by a vibration sensor attached to the current collector and wirelessly transmitted to a background system. The background system is configured to subject the transmitted data, in particular the registered vibrations, to an analysis and to signal wear of the transport system, in particular wear of the current collector and/or of the current-carrying conductor, on the basis of the analysis.
