To study the impact characteristics of traction load under urban railway operation, a feature extraction strategy based on the improved rainflow counting method is proposed. Firstly, the impact, randomness and multiplicity characteristics of traction loads are analysed. The rainflow counting method is proposed from the perspective of cycle counting to capture amplitude, frequency and other impact intensity information. Secondly, to address the loss of temporal sequences and interval overlapping in traditional rainflow counting, peak-valley detection and amplitude updating are incorporated to identify the start and end moments of impacts. This ensures the extraction of impact amplitude while retaining all time-related features of load impact. Then, a time-interval correlation strategy is introduced to link impact process, magnitude, time and other information, resolving interval overlapping and ensuring consistency of impact features across different phases of the same process. Finally, case studies are conducted with respect to the different working conditions and types of traction load data. The results demonstrate that the enhanced rainflow counting method can effectively extract the impact features of different types of traction loads and accurately identify the differences between the traction load features under varying impact intensities and sampling frequencies. Compared to the the common cycle counting method, the proposed method provides richer information and describes the impact process more accurately. The study offers a valuable reference point for analysing the impact characteristics of traction loads and studying the influences of load impacts on traction power supply equipment and power supply systems.
