Electric roads - A study of electricity supply for land-based wire-based transport

This study shows that the expansion of the infrastructure relating to the power supply of the vehicles is not particularly complicated, nor costly, as the expansion of the railroad would be.

Summary

Excerpt

The heavy traffic is now increasing rapidly and contributes to ever-increasing emissions of greenhouse gases.

In addition to the vehicles and the technology used for the transmission of electricity, the transport of goods by road as electricity includes a suitable designed infrastructure, which is currently lacking.
