摘要:
The present invention relates to a method for activating a segment for enabling electrical power delivery to vehicles, the segment being one of a plurality of segments consecutively arranged along a single track line of an electric road system that further comprises a base station, the method comprising: receiving, at the base station, identification data transmitted from a vehicle, the identification data identifying the vehicle; associating an activation key with the identification data with each other; transmitting the activation key from the base station to the segment; receiving, at the segment and via short range radio communication, an activation request sent from the vehicle, wherein the activation request comprises an identification key associated with the identification data; confirming, at the segment, that the received identification key is associated with the received activation key; and upon positive confirmation, activating the segment for enabling power delivery to the vehicle.

A total task vehicle (TTV) may operate indoors to move a variety of different types of materials and accomplish a variety of different types of tasks, using tools and accessories powered by/connected to the TTV. One or more high power density (HD) battery packs may provide both 240V DC to 380V DC and 120V AC power to propel the TTV and also to function as a generator for tools and accessories attached to the TTV. A high torque/high speed convertible drive system may allow the TTV to operate in a ride-on mode, a walk-behind mode, providing for flexibility and adaptability in use of the TTV.

A process for cleaning electrical insulators supporting a contact rail parallel to a rail track comprises moving a vehicle having cleaning stations with cleaning tools (such as water jets) mounted on them, along a rail track adjacent to a parallel contact rail supported by electrical insulators, said cleaning stations being mounted on a positioning arm(s); positioning cleaning tools in proximity to an electrical insulator, while the cleaning stations rotate around at least a portion of the circumference of the insulator; energizing the cleaning tools; disengaging the cleaning tools from the insulator; and returning the cleaning station to the engagement position.
摘要:
A device and process for cleaning electrical insulators mounted under an electrified contact rail parallel to a rail track comprises positioning arm(s) attached to a vehicle that travels on the track and a cleaning station with fixed or moveable fingers. The fingers have attached cleaning tools and engage, operate on, partly rotate around the circumference of the insulator, and disengage, as the vehicle passes by the insulator. The cleaning station can also ride on the contact rail and have moveable vertical members with cleaning tools attached to L-shaped tool holders that rotate around a portion of the circumference of the insulator. Cleaning tools include powered rotating, reciprocating, vibrating, oscillating and/or linear brushes, wrap-around cleaning belts, sonic horns, ultrasonic vibrating guns, lasers, pressure washing and/or water jetting nozzles on stationary, rotating or oscillating spray bars and spinning heads using steam, tap or deionized water, and pneumatic polishing nozzles.

A system includes at least one application device, a control unit, and at least one processor. The at least one application device is conductively or inductively coupled with at least one of a first conductive track or a second conductive track. The control unit is configured to control supply of electric current from a power source to the at least one application device to electrically inject at least one examination signal into the conductive tracks. The at least one processor is configured to monitor the one or more electrical characteristics of at least one of the first or second conductive tracks, and to identify a construction feature of the route based on the one or more electrical characteristics, wherein the construction feature corresponds to a man-made aspect of the route.
摘要:
The section insulator for rigid conductor rails has conductive runners, a ramp and an insulating runner, each connected to one conductor rail. The conductor runners (7, 7′) and the ramps (11, 11′) are connected to one another at one end and at their other ends to the conductor rail, wherein the latter mentioned ends are offset relative to each other in the longitudinal direction (3). The two conductor rails (1, 2) are rigidly and torsion-resistantly connected to one another by insulating profiles (5, 6). Insulating runners (14, 14′) are attached to the insulating profiles opposite the respective conductive runner, so that a current collector is properly guided when passing by. An insulating spacing is present between the ends of the conductive runners (7, 7′) and the ends of the closest insulating runner (14, 14′).
