In this paper an innovative active pantograph for high-speed trains is proposed. The results presented are based on extensive simulation tests. The parameters used in the simulation are those of a real pantograph for high-speed trains: the pantograph model is modified by adding a wire actuation, in order to exert a constant contact force between the moving pantograph and the overhead contact wire. A wire-actuated control and contact force observers are proposed as effective solutions in the case of a possible implementation.
