Charging system for a vehicle

摘要

A system and method of automatically aligning a vehicle 10 with an inductive charging station 8 in which one or more sensors or cameras 20 are coupled to a controller which thereby recognises a charging station and calculates a route to align the vehicle with the charging station so as to optimise the coupling efficiency between the vehicle and the charging station. The controller directs the vehicle to autonomously position the vehicle in an optimum position for charging a battery 12.
