摘要： Method to improve the capability of electric transport, particularly autonomous electric transport, by dynamically reconfiguring a group of vehicles, connecting or disconnecting railcars to manage total energy available while motion continues. Vehicles connected while in motion can transfer energy to or from the train with railcars equipped with traction motors that can deliver energy to a train without delaying other cars. Railcars with low state of charge can be recharged by other railcars in the train or can disengage to be re-routed and re-charged en-route.

摘要： In a case where a power reception apparatus receives ACK or NAK as a response even though an expected response is a response indicating “not determine”, or in a case where the power reception apparatus receives a response indicating “not determine” or a response from a power transmission apparatus is an unexpected response even though an expected response is ACK or NAK as a response, the power reception apparatus transmits EPT to the power transmission apparatus, thus stopping the transmission of power from the power transmission apparatus.
