This study focuses on the operation of trolley-assisted mining truck, which leverage overhead lines for uphill propulsion, substantially reducing fuel consumption and carbon emissions. The pantograph mounted at the truck body's front exhibits complex vibrational behavior due to the subgrade stiffness and the nonlinearities of the hydro-pneumatic suspension. Vertical dynamic model of the mining truck is constructed which considering the road conditions and suspension characteristics to illustrate the pantograph's contact force. The vibration characteristic of pantograph base is analyzed which using the spatial transformation relationship between the truck's center mass of gravity and the base of pantograph. The stiffness of pantograph is designed based on a pantograph-catenary system model considering different road conditions. The real mining truck is modeled in the Trucksim software to obtain the vibration of pantograph base.
