Abstract (en)

[origin: EP4011747A1] System (1) and method for measuring a distance travelled by a guided vehicle (2) designed for being electrically connected to a power line (3). The system comprises:- a sensor system (11) configured for being installed on-board the guided vehicle (2) and for measuring, for at least one field component of an electromagnetic field of said power line (3), values of said at least one field component; and- a processing unit (12) connected to the sensor system (11), said processing unit (12) being configured for receiving, for each of the field components for which said values have been measured, the measured values;wherein the processing unit (12) is configured for automatically calculating, for at least one of the field components for which said values have been measured, a travelled distance that has been travelled by the guided vehicle (2).
