TRAFFIC SYSTEM AND POWER SUPPLY METHOD

摘要

A traffic system includes: a vehicle (2) having a power receiving section (13) on the outer surface; and a ground facility (5) having a power supply section (22) for supplying the power receiving section (13) with power by coming in contact with the power receiving section (13). The power supply section (22) has a spring (33) for applying a biasing force to a power supply shoe (25) in the power supply section (22) toward the power receiving section (13). The power receiving section (13) has a flat surface (16) extending along the outer surface of the vehicle (2), and a tapered surface (17) connected with the flat surface (16) in the forward and backward moving directions of the vehicle (2) for guiding the power supply shoe (25) onto the flat surface (16) against the biasing force to bring the power supply shoe into contact with the flat surface (16) when the vehicle (2) moves backward and forward.
