METHOD AND ELECTRIC ROAD SYSTEM FOR ENABLING ELECTRICAL POWER DELIVERY TO VEHICLES DURING TRAVEL

The present invention relates to a method for enabling electrical power delivery to vehicles during travel, the method comprising: receiving, at a 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 a segment of a plurality of segments consecutively arranged along a single track line to provide alternating potentials, wherein every second of the plurality of segments, including the segment, belong to a first set of segments to be powered, and wherein other segments form a second set of non-powered segments; 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; and powering the segment and creating a voltage difference between the powered segment and the non-powered segments to provide alternating potentials.
