Abstract: A power transfer system includes: a compact mobility; a ground unit disposed on a second lane which is a driving lane for the compact mobility, the ground unit being capable of wireless power transfer; and a controller that controls the ground unit. The compact mobility has an amount of electric power that can be stored less than a predetermined amount, and travels at a speed dependent on electric power wirelessly received from the ground unit. When a pedestrian is sensed in the second lane, the controller forces the compact mobility to decelerate by reducing transmission power from the ground unit to the compact mobility, as compared to when the pedestrian is not sensed in the second lane.
