Abstract The mechanical interface between vehicle-mounted shoegear and the third rail is critically important to the smooth running of electrically powered railway vehicles. Research is being carried out into the static and dynamic interactions between shoegear and the third rail. This paper describes the instrumentation being developed for the shoegear of a class 375 railway vehicle in the UK.
