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 9):
A vehicle comprising;\n a current collector arranged to transmit electric power from a current conductor located in a predetermined lateral 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 ( 38 ;  39 a,  39 b ) for detecting the position of the current collector; wherein an electronic control unit is arranged to monitor signals from the first detect means, representing the position of the current collector relative to the current conductor reference pointing the transverse direction of the vehicle;\n the electronic control unit is arranged to monitor signals from the second detecting means ( 38 ;  39 a,  39 b ), representing the position of the current collector relative to a vehicle reference point in the transverse direction of the vehicle; and \n the electronic control unit is arranged to determine a distance between the vehicle reference point and the current conductor reference point in the transverse direction of the vehicle based on the signals from the first and second detecting means, in order to determine a current vehicle position on the road.
