Analysis of effects and consequences of constructing Inductive Power Transfer Systems in road infrastructure. : A case study for the Stockholm region (Sweden).

Cordoba Ledesma, Enrique January 2015 (has links)
The continuous growth in road transportation demand requires the development towards sustainable strategies. The concept of Smart Roads is arising as a convergence of technologies that will lead the mobility by road into a more efficient and interactive system between infrastructure, environment and vehicles. Within this context, e-mobility appears as one of the key components. The implementation of e-mobility based on Electric Vehicles (EVs) has been restricted by numerous shortcomings such as their driving range, the battery size, the dependence on charging stations and the time required for its charging. However, the electrification of the road infrastructure, which will enable a dynamic charging of the EVs while driving, is becoming a potential solution to overcome these deficiencies. This study aims to contribute for the future introduction of electrified roads (eRoads) into the current network, by focusing on the effects and consequences of embedding Inductive Power Transfer (IPT) systems in the road infrastructure. A structural design of an eRoad is conducted through a Finite Elements Analysis (FEA) by analysing the behaviour of a pavement structure based on Swedish conditions subjected to traffic loading. Valuable conclusions can be displayed from this analysis and thus, a summary concerning considerations and effects over the design, construction and maintenance of eRoads can be built. Nevertheless, this analysis must be complemented and coordinated from a lifetime perspective to reach the social, environmental and economic requirements related to the development of road infrastructure nowadays. Hence, a guideline from a life cycle approach is stated over the integration of eRoads in order to enable the assessment of the infrastructure during its different phases. To be sustainable, the development of road infrastructure must reach not just structural and appropriate performance requirements, but also preserve the environmental and economic impact. This thesis pretends to combine all these aspects as a state of the art, providing a basis that stands out the most relevant issues related to the feasible implementation of eRoads in the mid-long term.

Life Cycle Assessment development for electrified roads : Case study for Sweden

Nádasi, Réka January 2017 (has links)
The increasing role of sustainability will lead the mobility by road into a more efficient and interactive system between infrastructure, environment and vehicles. The expand of emobility based on Electric Vehicles has been restricted by numerous shortcomings such as their driving range, the battery size, the dependence on charging stations and the time required for its charging. One of the solutions to overcome these limitations is can be the construction of electrified roads. The study compares the most significant opportunities for eRoads as the solutions ofInductive Power Transfer (IPT), conductive track and pantograph in climate change aspect.This thesis is also intended to describe these systems, as they represent different ways for reach electrification of ordinary roads. IPT is a contactless solution which uses the well-known electromagnetic induction principle. Pantograph and conductive track are both conductive solutions. In the first case, it is an overhead solution and for the track, the energy is transferred to the vehicles from a continuous rail embedded in the pavement. The aim of the study is to develop an open and transparent Life Cycle Assessment (LCA)framework for electrified roads that could be used for decision support. The main objective is to build a cradle-to-grave LCA model in SimaPro for an electrified highway asphalt road in Sweden. / A fenntarthatóság, fenntartható fejlődés világszerte egyre fontosabb szerephez jut,elősegítve ezáltal azt, hogy hagyományos útburkolatok helyett hatékonyabb, interaktív rendszerek kerüljenek kiépítésre. Ezek az „okos” utak összekapcsolják az infrastruktúrát, akörnyezetet és az embert, mint járművezetőt. Jelenleg, a már hagyományosnak mondható e-közlekedésnek – mely az elektromos autók használatán alapul – számos hátrányafigyelhető meg. Többek között a korlátozott vezetési távolság és akkumulátor méret,valamint a töltési lehetőségektől és töltésidőtől való függés. Ezek leküzdésének egyik módja lehet a villamosított utak építése és elterjedése. A tanulmány célja egy nyílt, átlátható és könnyen kezelhető életciklus-elemzés (LCA) keretrendszer kiépítése a villamosított utak számára, mint döntéstámogató rendszer ajövőbeli beruházásokhoz. Ez egy svédországi villamosított autópálya, SimaPro programbanlétesített életciklus-elemzés modell építésével kerül bemutatásra. A dolgozat a három legjelentősebb típusú rendszereket hasonlítja össze a klímaváltozást befolyásoló hatások tekintetében. Ezek az indukció elvén alapuló IPT, a vezető pálya és a pantográf megoldások. A tanulmány szintén hivatott bemutatni a rendszereket, minthogyezek merőben különböző elveken alapuló megoldásokkal érik el a hagyományos utakvillamosítását. Míg elektro-mágneses töltés elvén alapuló rendszer a kontakt nélküli megoldások közé tartozik, addig a másik két rendszer álladó fizikai kapcsolatot igényel a jármű és a töltési rendszer elemei között.
