METHOD FOR CONTROLLING A LAND TRANSPORT VEHICLE, LAND TRANSPORT VEHICLE, GROUND EQUIPMENT AND TRANSPORT SYSTEM

摘要

A method for controlling a land transport vehicle traveling on a track, the track including, in a movement direction of the land transport vehicle, a zone with an external power supply adjacent to a zone without an external power supply to be traveled with an onboard power supply device, the zone with an external power supply including an external power supply device on the ground provided with a plurality of power supply segments arranged sequentially in the direction of the track, the land transport vehicle including at least one capture device adapted to be placed in contact with a power supply segment on the one hand and to be electrically connected to at least one traction motor on the other hand, the land transport vehicle further including an onboard power supply device adapted to be electrically connected to the or each traction motor.

1. A method for controlling a land transport vehicle traveling on a track, the track including, in a movement direction of the land transport vehicle, a zone with an external power supply adjacent to a zone without an external power supply to be traveled with an onboard power supply device, the zone with an external power supply including an external power supply device on the ground provided with a plurality of power supply segments arranged sequentially in the direction of the track, the land transport vehicle including at least one capture device adapted to be placed in contact with a power supply segment on the one hand and to be electrically connected to at least one traction motor on the other hand, the land transport vehicle further including an onboard power supply device adapted to be electrically connected to the or each traction motor, the method including at least the following steps:
a) powering the or each traction motor with a power supplied by a power supply segment, with which the capture device is in contact; b) emitting, via an antenna associated with the power supply segment situated close to the end of the zone with an external power supply, a signal indicating the end of the zone with an external power supply; c) receiving, via the land transport vehicle positioned in vicinity of the power supply segment associated with the antenna sending said signal indicating the end of a zone with an external power supply, the signal indicating the end of a zone with an external power supply; d) commanding, after receiving the signal indicating the end of a zone with an external power supply, a transition from a power demand from the external power supply device to a power demand from the onboard power supply device to power the or each traction motor.
