Wireless Charging System for Connected and Autonomous Electric Vehicles

In coming years, attraction to alternative urban mobility paradigms such as connected and autonomous electric vehicles (CAEVs) will increase since CAEVs can significantly contribute to not only optimize traffic flow and improve road safety but also minimize dependence on fossil fuel and reduce carbon emission in urban areas. Though CAEVs may have the capacity to change the landscape of transportation, recharging CAEVs in the urban area might be challenging. The wireless charging infrastructure for CAEVs has appeared to be a promising, however, it is yet to be matured. In this paper, we have designed and implemented wireless CAEV charging management system that provides effective communication between the vehicle and wireless charger based on (International Organization for Standardization) ISO 11518–8 standard as well as furnishes automated reservation with the help of the back-end system. The significance of this system is to alleviate the shortcomings of the wired charging infrastructure and to assure convenience of automated charging strategies.
