Abstract
A system of localized tapping sections (or) is provided with air or ground units for the distribution of electrical energy and an assembly on the vehicle () for tapping the energy. The electrical energy distribution units are supported by distributing poles (), only accommodate electrical voltage when the vehicle approaches the related section, and being disconnected when the vehicle () leaves the tapping section. The tapping sections are located in vehicle stopping zones, for example, stations (), acceleration zones, and uphill gradients (), in order to recharge and/or supply drive energy to the vehicle (). The system is beneficial to autonomous urban public transportation which accumulates drive energy.
