Abstract
This invention concerns a rail structure (70, 71, 72, 73) in a vehicle-related system (S) for driving an electric and by one or more batteries conveyable vehicle (1) along a stretch of a track in a roadway section (2a1) and related to a roadway, comprising (a″) by one or more individual electric motors (5) drivable vehicles (1), and “b” a plurality of roadway sections (2a1, 2a) which may subdivide the stretch of roadway. Said tracks (51, 52) are in a cross section oriented in parallel in a rail structure (70), said rail structure (70) having external, of metal made, wall sections (71, 72) and a partition (73) separating the external wall sections. A first conductor surface ( ), which may be subjected to voltage, is allotted a lower portion for a first track (51). A second conductor surface (4b), which may be subjected to voltage, is allotted a lower portion for a second track (52).
