“…In addition to the health and safety issues, a very important aspect to consider is the cost related to the new e-roads. As far as the electrification cost of the infrastructure is concerned, some reference values may be found in Gill et al (2014) and Schroeder and Traber (2012). In 1990, UC Berkeley conducted one of the most complete studies about the costs arising from the realization of an e-road, estimating a cost of 1,000,000 US$/km per road lane.…”

This study presents the Wireless Charging Utility Maximization (WCUM) framework, which aims to maximize the utility of Wireless Charging Units (WCUs) for electric vehicle (EV) charging through the optimal WCU deployment at signalized intersections. Furthermore, the framework aims to minimize the control delay at all signalized intersections of the network. The framework consists of a two‐step optimization formulation, a dynamic traffic assignment model to calculate the user equilibrium, a traffic microsimulator to formulate the objective functions, and a global Mixed Integer Non‐Linear Programming (MINLP) optimization solver. An optimization problem is formulated for each intersection, and another for the entire network. The performance of the WCUM framework is tested using the Sioux Falls network. We perform a comparative study of 12 global MINLP solvers with a case study. Based on solution quality and computation time, we choose the Couenne solver for this framework.

“…So far, most scientific literature has focused on inductive power transfer (IPT), for example [13,[17][18][19][20][21][22], and test tracks are in operation in, among other places, South Korea and Italy [23]. Opinions regarding costs vary, but in Europe it is considered to be the most expensive of the three concepts [11,24,25].…”

Electrification of the transport sector has been pointed out as a key factor for tackling some of today's main challenges, such as global warming, air pollution, and eco-system degradation. While numerous studies have investigated the potential of electrifying passenger transport, less focus has been on how road freight transport could be powered in a sustainable future. This study looks at Electric Road Systems (ERS) in comparison to the current diesel system. The Framework for Strategic Sustainable Development was used to assess whether ERS could be a stepping stone on the way towards sustainability. Strategic life-cycle assessment was applied, scanning each life-cycle phase for violations against basic sustainability principles. Resulting sustainability "hot spots" were quantified with traditional life-cycle assessment. The results show that, if powered by renewable energy, ERS have a potential to decrease the environmental impact of freight transport considerably. Environmental payback times of less than five years are achievable if freight traffic volumes are sufficiently high. However, some severe violations against sustainability principles were identified. Still, ERS could prove to be a valuable part of the solution, as they drastically decrease the need for large batteries with high cost and sustainability impact, thereby catalyzing electrification and the transition towards sustainable freight transport.
