%X The article presents simulation results on the active control strategy for a railway pantograph to improve contact quality in pantograph¨Ccatenary interface. Three different approaches were investigated: nominal torque tuning, torque active control and combination of them¡ªcombined control approach. The first control scenario minimizes the pantograph nominal uplift force exerted on the catenary. The second approach is based on active pantograph toque control, employing the proportional¨Cintegral¨Cderivative controller, to compensate actual contact force error. The last control scenario links the above-mentioned approaches. Promising results are obtained employing the co-simulation environment recently presented by the authors
