SUMMARY:Presentation:Effectiveness of Inductive Vehicle Charging to Alleviate EV Range Anxiety
DESCRIPTION:This project evaluates the efficacy\, optimal placement\, and economic viability of inductive vehicle charging (IVC) technology. Using literature review\, stakeholder engagement\, and rigorous mathematical modeling\, we developed a comprehensive framework to identify high impact use cases for this emerging technology. The findings suggest that IVC is not a universal solution\, but a targeted tool within a rapidly evolving electrification landscape. It may serve as a bridging technology or a specialized solution for high utilization fleets\, rather than a permanent requirement for all electric mobility.\n---\nAbout the speaker: Sina Bahrami is an Assistant Research Scientist in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Michigan. He earned his Ph.D. in Civil Engineering from the University of Toronto in 2019. His research develops optimization and decision-support tools for emerging mobility systems in smart cities\, with a focus on electric and automated vehicles. He has published 18 articles in leading transportation journals and his work has been featured in outlets such as Forbes and Popular Science.
