Abstract:

This study evaluates the efficacy, optimal placement, and economic viability of Inductive Vehicle Charging (IVC) technology as a strategic solution to facilitate electrification of the Michigan transportation sector. Motivated by the need to mitigate range anxiety and support high-utilization electric fleets, the research employs a multi-methodological approach combining economic modeling, transit network analysis, and macroscopic highway optimization. The findings demonstrate that while stationary IVC chargers are sufficient for smaller transit agencies, in-motion IVC is critical for larger, high-frequency transit systems to maintain operational continuity without fleet expansion. For intercity travel, optimization models reveal that high-power dynamic charging on key arterial corridors specifically in Southeast Michigan maximizes social welfare by complementing the existing DC fast-charging network. The study concludes that IVC offers a distinct economic advantage in scenarios characterized by high traffic density and fleet utilization, recommending targeted investment in shared infrastructure for transit and freight corridors.
