CURRENT COLLECTION AT HIGH SPEEDS
One of the main technical limitations affecting high speed guided transport is the transmission of large amounts of electric power from the track to the vehicle through a sliding of rolling contact. The problem is primarily one of dynamics, and on the 300 to 400 km/h region the shorter and stiffer mechanical circuit offered by the conductor rail is likely to prove more attractive than a light catenary.
