Abstract
This project is to propose a modeling framework to deploy wireless charging facilities for an electric bus system. The proposed project will accomplish the following two objectives: 1) Develop an optimization problem that determines the location for building wireless charging facilities in a road network and explicitly considers the trade-off between onboard battery size and the number (length) of wireless charging facilities simultaneously; and 2) Conduct a case study to demonstrate the viability of applying dynamic wireless charging technology to an electric bus system with multiple overlapping bus lines.
