Project: System for the identification, prevention and removal of icing in railways overhead contact lines

We intend to develop an innovative solution, ICECONTROL, for keeping Railways’ Overhead Contact Lines (OCL) free of ice cost-efficiently, assuring the caption of current by trains in railways placed at low temperatures. It will be delivered in form of an embedded expert system capable of automatically preventing OCL from icing and, in case this is not possible, de-icing them by causing controlled micro short-circuits that create heat, without interfering with the regular train’s transit.
