Abstract: A housing for a sunken electric road track configured to conductively provide electric power to a vehicle is presented. The housing comprising: a bottom plate extending in a longitudinal direction (L); opposing side walls protruding from the bottom plate; and opposing lateral flanges extending in the longitudinal direction (L), the opposing lateral flanges extending in the longitudinal direction (L) forming lateral protrusions for providing anchoring of the housing in a fixating mass used for fixating the housing in a groove of a roadway (40). Also, a sunken electric road track comprising such a housing is presented as well as a method for arranging a sunken electric road track along a road.

Abstract: An electrical road track module is disclosed. The electrical road track module comprising a plurality of segments configured to power a vehicle, the segments being separated along the electrical road track module by electrically isolating members; and a plurality of radar sensors being arranged along the electrical road track module. Also a method for controlling such an electrical road track module is disclosed.

Abstract: A contact member for a power collector of an electric road vehicle, the contact member being configured to be mounted to a first end of an arm of the power collector, the contact member comprising: a support structure; a conductive pick up comprising a braided strip, the conductive pick up being mounted to the support structure.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a sensor assembly configured to be mounted on a vehicle. The sensor assembly comprises a sensor; and a housing housing the sensor. The housing comprises an inclined front wall configured to face a main traveling direction (A) of the vehicle and a direction (B) away from the vehicle, a vehicle facing wall configured to face towards the vehicle, the vehicle facing wall comprising an air inlet, and a rear openings forming a viewing opening for the sensor, the rear opening being in fluid connection with the air inlet such that air entering the air inlet exits the housing through the rear opening.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for controlling an electrical power collector (70) configured to collect electrical power from a track line (30) of an electric road system arranged along a road (10). The track line (30) comprising activatable light indicators (40) arranged on the track line (30). The electrical power collector (70) being mounted on a vehicle (20). The method comprising, while the vehicle (20) is driving, capturing, using a camera (60) mounted on the vehicle (20), a video stream depicting the track line (30), identifying active light indicators in the captured video stream, and upon identification of active light indicators (40), activating the electrical power collector (70) such that a sliding contact (50) of the electrical power collector (70) makes sliding contact with the track line (30). Also a control circuit and a control system is presented.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for activating a segment for enabling electrical power delivery to vehicles, the segment being one of a plurality of segments consecutively arranged along a single track line of an electric road system that further comprises a base station, the method comprising: receiving, at the base station, identification data transmitted from a vehicle, the identification data identifying the vehicle; associating an activation key with the identification data with each other; transmitting the activation key from the base station to the segment; receiving, at the segment and via short range radio communication, an activation request sent from the vehicle, wherein the activation request comprises an identification key associated with the identification data; confirming, at the segment, that the received identification key is associated with the received activation key; and upon positive confirmation, activating the segment for enabling power delivery to the vehicle.
