SYSTEM FOR SPORADIC SUPPLY AND TAPPING OF ELECTRICAL ENERGY ESPECIALLY FOR AN URBAN VEHICLE USED FOR PUBLIC TRANSPORT

摘要

The system according to the invention consists of localised tapping sections (1), (2) or (3) provided with air or ground means for the distribution of electrical energy, and tapping means arranged on the vehicle (4). The electrical energy distribution means are carried by distributing poles (5) and are only put under electrical voltage when the vehicle approaches, and disconnected when the vehicle (4) leaves the tapping section. The tapping sections are provided in stop zones, for example in stations (1), in acceleration zones, and on increasing gradients (2), in order to recharge and/or to supply motor energy. The invention can be applied to autonomous urban public transport which has an accumulation of motor energy.
