Abstract

The pantograph–catenary system is a critical component of railway vehicles, and its performance directly affects the quality of current collection. Accurately measuring the arcing rate is essential for monitoring the system’s condition and ensuring safe operation. However, traditional arc detection methods are prone to increased false detection rates and reduced measurement accuracy in complex railway environments due to the diversity of arc sizes and shapes, environmental interference, instability in current collection, and power fluctuations. While deep learning-based methods can effectively address environmental interference, obtaining sufficient labeled training data is challenging because arc events occur…
