Basic Study on Arrangement Design of In-Motion Charging Facility on Urban Roads

In-motion charging technology can drastically improve electrical mileage of Eclectic Vehicles (EVs). Therefore, it is expected as a game-changing technology. In this paper, we investigated cost-effective arrangement design of in-motion charging facilities that can maximize supply energy in the shortest section length as possible. In order to simulate that, we analyzed the actual driving data on urban area in Japan. We focused on the staying time near crossroads with traffic light and found the appropriate in-motion charging section length. Finally we did an electrical mileage simulation using actual driving data and confirm the effectiveness of the in-motion charging facility for electrical mileage extension.
