Due to the limitation of the actual experimentation of an active pantograph control system on a running train, offline control approaches are proposed to represent the disturbances from the track and control force on the pantograph. In the first stage, the simulated disturbance and control force data are recorded. In the second stage, pneumatic actuators are implemented to reproduce the disturbance and control force patterns. In the third stage, the experimental data of disturbance and control force reproduced by the actuators are applied to the pantograph model. The outputs show promising improvement in contact strip displacement and force.
