Vehicle with at least one adjustable current collector, which, in an extended position, is suitable for contact with a trackside conductor of a trackside power supply network and in a retracted position is separated from the trackside conductor, wherein - the vehicle has a detection facility, which is suitable for differentiating between the passing of trackside balises of a first balise type and a second balise type and in each instance for generating a first balise detection signal when passing a balise of the first balise type and a second balise detection signal when passing balises of the second balise type in each instance, - the vehicle moreover has a control facility, which generates a control signal on the basis of the temporal sequence of the occurrence of first and second balise detection signals (B1, B2), said control signal changing the position of the current collector itself or enabling the change in position of the current collector, characterised in that the control facility is formed by a hard-wired logic circuit or also at least has this, wherein the control facility has an output flipflop on the output side, which - is set with a set signal at a set input when the first balise detection signal lies in front of the second balise detection signal, and - is reset at a reset input when the second balise detection signal lies in front of the first balise detection signal, - wherein a set branch is arranged upstream of the set input of the output flipflip and a reset branch is arranged upstream of the reset input of the output flipflop and - wherein the set branch and the reset branch each have at least one auxiliary flipflop (121, 122, 131, 132) which is reset at a reset input when a binary output signal at a signal output of the output flipflop performs a flank changeover. - the vehicle has a detection facility, which is suitable for differentiating between the passing of trackside balises of a first balise type and a second balise type and in each instance for generating a first balise detection signal when passing a balise of the first balise type and a second balise detection signal when passing balises of the second balise type in each instance, - the vehicle moreover has a control facility, which generates a control signal on the basis of the temporal sequence of the occurrence of first and second balise detection signals (B1, B2), said control signal changing the position of the current collector itself or enabling the change in position of the current collector, characterised in that - is set with a set signal at a set input when the first balise detection signal lies in front of the second balise detection signal, and - is reset at a reset input when the second balise detection signal lies in front of the first balise detection signal, - wherein a set branch is arranged upstream of the set input of the output flipflip and a reset branch is arranged upstream of the reset input of the output flipflop and - wherein the set branch and the reset branch each have at least one auxiliary flipflop (121, 122, 131, 132) which is reset at a reset input when a binary output signal at a signal output of the output flipflop performs a flank changeover.
