Abstract

A method for controlling electrical power transmission to a vehicle is provided, the vehicle including a charging component receiving electrical charge current from individually controlled charge segments along a road for the vehicle, wherein the method includes the steps of receiving a signal indicative of a charge current mode for the charge segments along the road; determining if at least one charge segment ahead of the vehicle is provided in a disabled charge mode and currently not being able to provide an electrical charge current; calculating a time period until the vehicle arrives at the charge segment provided in the disabled charge mode; and shutting off the electrical power transmission to the vehicle within a predetermined time period of the calculated time period.
