Electrical charging system for energy accumulators of railway vehicles

An electrical charging system for energy accumulators of railway vehicles, comprising:

• an equipment onboard a vehicle, said equipment comprising:
• a plurality of communication devices, wherein a first communication device is disposed in a front portion of the vehicle and a second communication device is disposed in a rear of the vehicle;
• and
• at least one electrical energy capturing element associated with at least one energy accumulator of the vehicle;
• and
• a plurality of track elements located on the ground in a station stop of the vehicle, said plurality of track elements comprising:
• a plurality of identification and detecting means for identifying and detecting a presence of the vehicle associated with the plurality of communication devices;
• and
• at least one electrical charging zone associated with the electrical energy capturing element onboard the vehicle;
• wherein in response to a detection by a first identification and detecting means of a first communication device and a detection by a second identification and detecting means of a second communication device, the presence and configuration of the vehicle is determined and the electrical charging zones corresponding to an area covered by said vehicle are electrified, and wherein electrification of the electrical charging zones corresponding to the area covered by said vehicle is stopped in response to a failure by the first identification and detecting means to detect the first communication device and by the second identification and detecting means to detect the second communication device.
