Abstract

The invention relates to a sensing arrangement () for determining a displacement of a vehicle with respect to an electrical road system, comprising a first sensor () configured to detect the electrically energized path and to determine a first signal indicative of the distance between the first sensor and the electrically energized path; a second sensor () configured to determine a second signal indicative of the distance between the second sensor and the electrically energized path, the second sensor is separated a distance () from the first sensor in a front-rear direction of the vehicle. A control unit () is configured to determine an angular displacement of the vehicle with respect to the electrically energized path based on the first signal, the second signal and the distance between the first sensor and the second sensor.
