Abstract: The invention relates to a system for inductive power transfer to vehicles driving or standing on a surface of a route, in particular to road automobiles, wherein the system includes a primary winding structure for generating an alternating electromagnetic field, wherein a field volume (FV) is assigned to the primary winding structure, wherein the system includes at least a part of a first heating system, wherein elements of the first heating system which are arranged within the field volume (FV) are non-metallic elements. Further, the invention relates to a pavement slab assembly and a method of operating a system for inductive power transfer.

Abstract: A pavement slab assembly for a route for vehicles driving or standing on a surface of the route. The pavement slab assembly consists at least partially of pavement material and has a cable bearing element. Electric line or lines extend(s) along or under the surface of the pavement slab assembly. The cable bearing element is embedded in the pavement material of the pavement slab assembly and is arranged within the pavement slab assembly such that the cable bearing element is enclosed by the pavement material. The invention also relates to a method of building a pavement slab assembly, a route for vehicles, and a method for building a route for vehicles.

Abstract: Provided herein is a housing for at least one object detection device of a system for inductive power transfer to a vehicle. The housing includes at least a top element and at least one bottom element. The top and the bottom element are made of a non-metallic material, and at least a part of the at least one object detection device is arrangeable in between the bottom and the top element. A primary unit and pavement slab assembly are also provided herein.

Abstract: A conductor arrangement for producing an electromagnetic field and thereby transferring energy to vehicles driving on a surface of a route, in particular for transferring energy to road automobiles is disclosed. The conductor arrangement includes a first, lower coating layer, a second upper coating layer, and at least one electric line which—if arranged as part of the route—extends under the surface of the route in and/or about the travelling direction of the vehicles. The at least one electric line is arranged in between the lower and upper coating layer.

Abstract: A route for vehicles driving on a surface of the route includes a plurality of shaped blocks adapted to position and/or to hold a plurality of line sections of one or more electric line. Each shaped block comprises recesses forming spaces and/or projections delimiting spaces for receiving at least one of the line sections. The electric line or lines extend(s) through the spaces and extend(s) along the surface of the route in and/or about the travelling direction of vehicles. The shaped blocks and the electric line or lines are supported by a base layer of the route and are covered by a cover layer of the route. The material of the cover layer is also located in regions of the route sideways of the shaped blocks so that the shaped blocks and the cover layer form an integrated layer on top of the base layer.

Abstract: A route for vehicles driving on the route surface wherein the route includes a plurality of shaped blocks adapted to position and/or to hold a plurality of line sections of one or more electric lines. Each shaped block includes recesses forming spaces and/or projections delimiting spaces for receiving at least one of the line sections. At least one electric line extends through the spaces and along the surface of the route in and/or about the travelling direction of vehicles which are driving on the route. The shaped blocks and the at least one electric line are supported by a base layer and are covered by a cover layer of the route. The material of the shaped blocks is also located in side regions of the route sideways of the shaped blocks so that the shaped blocks and the side regions form an integration layer above the base layer.
