SPR-4314: Feasibility Study and Design of On-Road Electric Vehicle Charging Technologies

Based upon a literature review, this feasibility study will identify the factors that determine the optimal locations of electric roadways in Indiana, such as road characteristics, vehicle miles traveled, access to power network, and proximity to specific facilities. A localized analysis of the selected corridors will follow to provide information on subjects such as traffic modeling, road cost estimation, maintenance and general technical needs. In addition, a test bed will be designed, which will feature flexibility to accommodate a wide range of technologies (e.g., inductive and capacitive).
