Electromagnetic Compatibility In Railways; Analysis and Management
Electromagnetic Compatibility in Railways: Analysis and Management by Ade Ogunsola and Andrea Mariscotti provides a comprehensive examination of the challenges surrounding Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) in modern railway systems. As railway infrastructure increasingly relies on complex electrical and electronic technologies—such as high-power traction systems, automated signaling, and wireless communications—the risk of Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) becomes a critical issue affecting both operational safety and reliability. The book presents a systematic approach that combines technical analysis with EMC management practices throughout the railway project lifecycle. The authors outline methods for modeling, measuring, and mitigating EMI across various railway components, including the interaction between pantographs and catenary lines, emissions from power converters, and their impact on track circuits and telecommunications. Beyond the technical aspects, the book addresses the application of international standards (such as EN 50121) and the development of an effective EMC Management Plan to ensure regulatory compliance.
