    Abstract: A carrier for one or several electrically conductive tracks of a ground electric feeding system for a motor vehicle in the form of a strip of electrically insulating elastomeric material, comprising a substantially planar electric feeding surface of the land vehicle, provided with one or several longitudinal grooves, each groove being intended to receive a conductive track, and a surface for securing to a roadway, opposite the electric feeding surface. The carrier has a rectangular cross-section and the electric feeding surface and the securing surface form the long sides of said rectangle.

    Abstract: This assembly, which includes a ground level power supply system of the type using conduction, including conductive tracks arranged on a roadway, and an electric vehicle, capturing electric energy from said tracks it moves on the roadway, is characterized in that the power supply system includes a ground level antenna, configured so as to have a constant radiation chart along a longitudinal axis of the roadway and emitting a positioning signal, and in that the electric vehicle includes an on board antenna and an on board module, connected to the on board antenna and capable of determining a lateral position of a center of the on board antenna relative to the longitudinal axis from the positioning signal captured by the on board antenna.
