Patent ID: 8027760

Claim:
An energy-regulating system for a vehicle suitable for public transport between a departure station and an arrival station, the departure station separated from the arrival station by a predetermined run, the energy-regulating system comprising: a high-power electrical storage device placed on board the vehicle and any energy recovered during braking of the vehicle is stored in said storage device; an electrical battery of high mass energy placed on board said vehicle and electrically connected to said storage device; an electrical charging area disposed at the departure station for charging said storage device on the vehicle, said electrical charging area being activated in charging mode from a moment residual energy of said storage device of the vehicle is less than a variable threshold dependent on an energy balance of the vehicle estimated beforehand at least up to the arrival station; said high-power electrical storage device connected to primarily supply electrical power to the vehicle with traction power, at least during an acceleration phase; and said electrical battery of high mass energy connected to secondarily supply the vehicle with the electrical power in an additional way to said storage device of the vehicle at a constant speed of the vehicle.
