Abstract: The present invention relates to a current collector device (120) for mounting on a vehicle (100) to transmit electric power between a current conductor (130) located in the surface of a road (110) and the vehicle (100), wherein the current collector device (120) comprises a base (170) for connecting the current collector device to the vehicle, an elongated current collector arm (150) that is in operable connection with the base and a current collector pick-up head (160) attached to the elongated current collector arm distally from the base. The current collector device (120) further comprises at least one vane (180, 280, 380,480) arranged on the elongated current collector arm (150), the at least one vane (180, 280,380, 480) being configured to increase the surface area of the elongated current collector arm (150). The at least one vane (280, 280a-c, 380) is slanted towards the current collector pick-up head (160).

Abstract: The invention relates to a current collector arrangement arranged to be mounted on a vehicle and to transmit electric power between a current conductor (130; 230; 330; 430; 530) located in the surface of a road and the vehicle, wherein the current collector arrangement comprises a current collector arm (150; 250; 350; 450; 550; 650; 750; 850; 950; 1050) that is arranged to be controllable for at least vertical displacement relative to a longitudinal axis of the vehicle, in order to position the current collector arm relative to the current conductor (130; 230; 330; 430; 530). The current collector arrangement comprises controllable actuators arranged to effect at least the vertical displacement the current collector arm (150; 250; 350; 450; 550; 650; 750; 850; 950; 1050). A first actuator (481; 581; 681; 781; 881; 981; 1081) is arranged to lower the current collector arm from a retracted position into a deployed position, and a second actuator (482; 582; 682; 782; 882; 982; 1082) is arranged to lift the current collector arm from the deployed position into the retracted position. During a vertical displacement effected by one of the first or second actuators, the other actuator is arranged to act as a damper.

Abstract: The invention relates to a sensing arrangement (100) for determining a displacement of a vehicle with respect to an electrical road system, comprising a first sensor (102) configured to detect the electrically energized path and to determine a first signal indicative of the distance between the first sensor and the electrically energized path; a second sensor (104) configured to determine a second signal indicative of the distance between the second sensor and the electrically energized path, the second sensor is separated a distance (106) from the first sensor in a front-rear direction of the vehicle. A control unit (108) is configured to determine an angular displacement of the vehicle with respect to the electrically energized path based on the first signal, the second signal and the distance between the first sensor and the second sensor.

Abstract: A charging device for a vehicle including an electric storage arrangement. The charging device is arranged to be mounted to a portion of the vehicle, the charging device including a movable contacting element for electric contact with a stationary contacting element for electric charging of the electric storage arrangement. The charging device further includes an actuator for moving the movable contacting element between a retracted position and a protruded position, the charging device being arranged so that, while the vehicle is in a charging position in relation to the stationary contacting element, the stationary contacting element can be reached by the charging device, while the movable contacting element is in the protruded position, for the electric contact between the movable contacting element and the stationary contacting element, wherein a protective element arranged to restrict access to the movable contacting element and the stationary contacting element when the movable contacting element and the stationary contacting element are in the electric contact with each other.
