ABSTRACT:
A transport system is provided, comprising an underfloor high frequency alternate current primary conductor for providing an electromagnetic field extending along the primary conductor for inductive energy transfer. The transport system includes at least one electric transport vehicle comprising two individually controllable and individually drivable drive wheels. At least one pick-up unit with a secondary conductor for the inductive energy transfer is pivotable relative to the vehicle and comprises at least one idle roller adapted for being continuously contacted with the travel surface. The electric transport vehicle includes a sensor unit adapted for sensing continuously a floor track signal. A control unit is provided to control the two drive wheels in response to signals of the sensor unit for minimizing a deviation of the vehicle from the floor track signal.
