Abstract:
A vehicle and a method for controlling a vehicle including a current collector transmitting electric power from a current conductor located in a predetermined position in the surface of a road a distance from one side of the road; a first detecting means generating a signal indicative of the position of the current collector relative to a current conductor reference point; where the current collector is displaceable to track the current conductor in response to the signal; and a second detecting means detecting the position of the current collector are provided. The method involves determining a first distance representing the position of the current collector relative to the current conductor reference point; determining a second distance representing the position of the current collector relative to a vehicle reference point; and determining a distance between the vehicle reference point and the current conductor reference point using the first and second distances to determine a current vehicle position on the road.

Claim (Index 1):
Method for controlling a vehicle, the vehicle comprising;\n a current collector arranged to transmit electric power from a current conductor located in a predetermined position in the surface of a road, a set lateral distance (D 1 ) from one side of the road; at least one first detecting means located adjacent the current collector and arranged to generate a signal indicative of the position of the current collector relative to a current conductor reference point; wherein the current collector is arranged displaceable relative to the vehicle to track the current conductor in response to the generated signal; and at least one second detecting means for detecting the position of the current collector relative to the vehicle; the method comprising continuously performing the steps of: determining a first distance representing the position of the current collector relative to the current conductor reference point in the transverse direction of the vehicle; determining a second distance representing the position of the current collector relative to a vehicle reference point in the transverse direction of the vehicle; and determining a distance between the vehicle reference point and the current conductor reference point in the transverse direction of the vehicle using the first and second distances (X 1 , X 2 ), in order to determine a current vehicle position on the road.
