A new system of railroad electrification has been studied that requires only a single contact conductor as opposed to the conventional catenary system. Preliminary designs for the various components have been developed and are described. These include the traveller (that rides on the contact conductor), the traveller arm and the supports for the contact conductor. Various dynamic analysis models were developed including a six-degree of freedom model and a finite-element model to study the dynamic performance of the total system. Results of the interaction of the components are presented for various contact conductor diameters and tensions, for different span lengths between supports and for various vehicle (traveller) speeds.
