SYSTEM FOR PERFORMING TRAFFIC CONTROL OF ELECTRICALLY DRIVEN VEHICLES IN A ROAD NETWORK

The invention relates to a system (10) for performing traffic control of electrically driven vehicles (20) in a road network. In this context, for the transmission of energy the vehicles (20) can be coupled during travel to a contact line network which is arranged on the road. The contact line network has feed sections (12) which are supplied separately from one another and have configurable load limits. According to the invention, the system (10) comprises prediction means for predicting a load requirement in a feed section (12), influencing means for influencing a load take-up of vehicles (20) in the feed section (12), and control means (60) for evaluating the predicted load demand with respect to the load limit of the feed section (12) and for selecting possibly necessary control interventions for influencing means. As a result, a contact line network which is arranged on the road and to which road vehicles of the individual traffic can be coupled in order to transmit energy during travel can be operated within the configured load limits.
