Abstract

The preliminary engineering feasibility for early deployment of a roadway-powered electric vehicle in El Monte Busway (a 3+ high-occupancy-vehicle facility in Los Angeles) is assessed. The evaluation consists of the determinations of the scale of electrification, locations to be electrified, mode of operation, level of energy transfer, and energy consumption. These analyses are accomplished through vehicle simulation. The evaluation results indicate that systems that combine the electrified roadway and static chargers or those that use static chargers exclusively can be deployed in El Monte Busway. A plan for the technology demonstration is developed. Hardware costs for this plan are estimated. (A)
