Abstract
ABSTRACT An intrinsic integration of different new advances into the practical roads, including the electrified road system, could be an important feature of a future smart road. One of the most important tasks in feasibility analysis of implementing electrified road (eRoad) systems into the practice is to quantitatively assess pavement performance after an integration of the functional units and, consequentially, the influences to the sustainability potential of road electrification. In this study, by means of using a simulation tool based on Finite Element (FE) method, some preliminary insights into the structural performance of several promising eRoad systems are obtained. These analyses provide some guidance support for eRoad technological design and deliver the crucial boundary inputs to the life cycle sustainability assessment of using these systems.
