The technology

There are several methods of building electrified roads. Inductive technology involves a magnetic transmission of energy. Conductive technology allows for electricity to be supplied in two ways: contact from above through overhead lines or from below via conductors in the road. eRoadArlanda has chosen to test and develop conductive feeds from below, the method that we have deemed will have the greatest potential to succeed.

eRoad

Arlanda’s technical solution transfers energy from a rail in the road to the vehicle, using a movable arm. The arm detects the location of the rail in the road and as long as the vehicle is above the rail, the contact will be in a lowered position. When overtaking, the contact is automatically raised.The rail, which is connected to the power grid, also functions automatically. It is divided into sections and each individual section is powered only when a vehicle is above it. When a vehicle stops, the current is disconnected. The rail enables the vehicle’s batteries to be recharged while powering its passage. The system also calculates the vehicle’s energy consumption, which enables electricity costs to be debited per vehicle and user.
