An integrated solution for electromagnetic perturbation computing of railway track with real traffic conditions and applications

This paper presents an integrated calculation method that assesses interference currents of electrified railway networks. Two intertwined needs are taken into account within this calculation tool: a precise assessment of electromagnetic interference due to the electrified railway network and an accurate estimation of trains' current consumption according to rail traffic. It shows how and why these latter parameters must be considered in order to optimize and reduce the interference current.
