Method and device for measuring the contact force between a current collector and an overhead wire under the influence of aerodynamic forces

The method involves detecting aerodynamic forces by direct determination of contact forces between contact surfaces of an electricity consumer of a rail vehicle and an aerial line using a measuring technology in a sliding strip. The measuring technology is utilized for determination of aerodynamic correction values for contact force measurement, and the sliding strip is formed as a U-shaped hollow profile (2). The aerodynamic correction values and/or characteristics are determined based on a position of the electricity consumer in block train and on a track. An independent claim is also included for a device for measuring aerodynamic force portions during contact force measurement between an electricity consumer and an aerial line.
