Smart asphalts and concrete for wireless charging of electrical vehicles
The aim of this pre-study is to verify a novel concept based on an application of conductive concrete and/or asphalt to “print conductive coils” for wireless (inductive) electric road systems (ERS).
The aim of this pre-study is to verify a novel concept based on an application of conductive concrete and/or asphalt to “print conductive coils” for wireless (inductive) electric road systems (ERS). The coils would be printed directly on the road substrates ahead of the paving process. If proved successful, it will have a tremendous influence on the future development of ERS. The concept was created based on earlier successful studies done at LTU on conductive and smart concretes. Positive results will enable the start of a larger project involving a number of industrial partners, property owners and research institutes aiming to develop a full-scale pilot project.
