Abstract
This support (36), as a profile in an electrically insulating material, comprises a substantially planar upper surface (50), provided with a longitudinal flute (60) intended for receiving a track segment, and a longitudinal groove (70) intended for receiving a low voltage electric power supply cable; and a lower surface (52) intended to bear upon a base for maintaining the support in the roadway. It is characterized in that the lower surface (52) is curved, preferably V-shaped, so that the support is concave so as to be at least transversely maintained in a recess with a mating shape, made in the base.

A track support of an electric power system at ground level for a land vehicle, notably a tramway, as a profile made of an electrically insulating material, comprising:
- a substantially planar upper surface, provided with a longitudinal flute intended for receiving a track segment, and with a longitudinal groove intended for receiving a low voltage electric power supply cable;
- and
- a lower surface intended to bear upon a base for maintaining the support in the roadway, characterized in that the lower surface is curved, so that the support is convex so as to be at least transversely maintained in a recess with a mating shape made in the base for maintaining the support in the roadway, the support being made in one piece of material and the support being in an elastomeric material so that the support is elastically deformable.
