The invention relates to a de-
icing system (1), an
overhead line system (2) comprising such a de-
icing system (1), and a method for de-
icing, or for use in connection with the de-icing, of all types of overhead lines in
transport infrastructure for all types of at least partially electrically driven vehicles, whether rail-bound or non-rail-bound, for example all types of electric rail vehicles, trains, trams, electric lorries, electric buses, etc. The application or use of the invention results in optimised operation, significantly reduces outages of routes or
route sections, and reduces wear on both the vehicles and the infrastructure. In addition, a correspondingly energy-efficient operation with minimal
energy expenditure is possible, for example immediately before vehicles travel over the relevant routes or
route sections of the corresponding
transport infrastructure.
