Concerns about greenhouse gas emissions are a key topic addressed by modern societies worldwide. As a contribution to mitigate such effects caused by the transportation sector, the full adoption of electric mobility is increasingly being seen as the main alternative to conventional internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles, which is supported by positive industry indicators, despite some identified hurdles. For such objective, power electronics technologies play an essential role and can be contextualized in different purposes to support the full adoption of electric mobility, including onboard and offboard battery charging systems, inductive wireless charging systems, unified traction and charging systems, new topologies with innovative operation modes for supporting the electrical power grid, and innovative solutions for electrified railways. Embracing all of these aspects, this paper presents a review on power electronics technologies for electric mobility where some of the main technologies and power electronics topologies are presented and explained. In order to address a broad scope of technologies, this paper covers road vehicles, lightweight vehicles and railway vehicles, among other electric vehicles.

This paper presents the design, implementation, and testing of a wireless communication system for automatic identification of e-bikes and management of their battery charging in the context of dynamic inductive wireless power transfer (DIWPT) lanes. The proposed system checks if an e-bike, uniquely identified by its RFID tag, is authorized to receive energy from the lane coils and acts accordingly. An authentication mechanism was developed based on the use of embedded Wi-Fi boards attached to the coils and communicating with a central HTTP server with a MySQL database. The developed management system also provides other features, such as the recording of the number of lane coils used by each e-bike for billing purposes. The results from experimental tests on a laboratory prototype were used to validate the developed functionalities and assess the quality of service provided by the proposed system.

The earliest and simplest impedance compensation technique used in inductive wireless power transfer (WPT) design is the series-series (SS) compensation circuit, which uses capacitors in series with both primary and secondary coils of an air-gapped transformer. Despite of its simplicity at the resonant condition, this configuration exhibits a major sensitivity to variations of the load attached to the secondary, especially when higher coupling coefficients are used in the design. In the extreme situation that the secondary coil is left at open circuit, the current at the primary coil may increase above the safety limits for either the power converter driving the primary coil or the components in the primary circuit, including the coil itself. An approach often used to minimize this problem is detuning, but this also reduces the electrical efficiency of the power transfer. In low power, fixed-distance stationary WPT, a fair trade-off between efficiency and safety must be verified. This paper aims to consolidate a simple design procedure for such a SS-compensation, exemplifying its use in the prototype of a WPT system for automotive light detection and ranging (LiDAR) equipment. The guidelines herein provided should equally apply to other low power applications.

Inductive lanes that can wirelessly transfer power to moving electric vehicles is a research theme of worldwide interest. The goal is to provide on-the-road recharging, thus extending vehicle’s autonomy and reducing battery capacity requirements. These lanes share, however, a common limitation: the power transfer is affected by the lateral displacement of the vehicle, with respect to the center of the lane. In the case of two-wheeled vehicles, such as electric scooters and bicycles, lateral inclination can also be pronounced enough as to interfere with power coupling. In order to experimentally evaluate the characteristics of such vehicular dynamic power transfer schemes, it is then necessary to synchronously log the vehicle’s electric data, lateral displacement and attitude. In this paper, the design and implementation of an electro-optical measuring system with these capabilities, based on Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) technology and inertial sensors, is reported. A testing range with specific reference geometry, consisting of a corridor of parallel walls, is used to simplify the continuous and accurate estimation of lateral displacement. The design was validated by statistical characterization of the measurement errors, using simulated trajectories. A prototype was built and mounted on a non-electric bicycle, with the first tests confirming its positioning measurement qualities.

A RFID-triggered power activation system is devised, implemented and tested as the key sensing mechanism for controlling wireless power transfer from an inductive lane to a moving lightweight electric vehicle. The RFID reader and tag used are based on ISO/IEC-14443A compatible types, working at 13.56 MHz, one of the least expensive currently available passive near-field technologies. In order to fit lightweight electric mobility application requirements, the RFID magnetic antennas are redesigned to larger than standard sizes, both at reader and tag sides, increasing the detection volume without increasing the required reading power, thus permitting the reuse of commercial RFID circuits and embedded protocol software. To trigger the wireless power transfer, a RFID reader coil is placed magnetically orthogonal to each primary power coil to be controlled, at the extremity where electric vehicles are expected to come from, in a one-way traffic. The power is turned off automatically when the vehicle leaves the primary coil field and the power demand is extinguished, or when time-out is reached. An inductive lane constituted of a sequence of such RFID-controlled primary coils can detect the presence of authorized electric vehicles and smartly energize the lane, manipulating the unique identifier codes and other information stored in the on-board tag to more efficiently handle dissimilar power level demands, and to implement tolling. The performance of the system is predicted based on the reconstructed 3D digital model of the RFID main detection lobe.

This paper presents the concept and initial test results of an inductive lane design capable of dynamic and wirelessly transfer power to electric bicycles (e-bikes). On the lane side, a sequence of oblong primary coils embedded underneath ground surface, along the vehicle path, can be independently excited by high frequency alternating current. The oscillating magnetic field of each primary coil is individually enabled when a Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tag on board of the e-bike is detected and authenticated by an auxiliary coil laying close to that primary coil. On the e-bike, energy for the powertrain is harvested from the lane by a secondary coil that is installed around its rear wheel. When the e-bike is moving over inter-coil gaps, or anywhere away from the inductive lane, on-board power is sustained with the excess energy stored during transits over energized coils. Preliminary results from a prototyped module demonstrate the feasibility of the system, which could also be used by similarly adapted lightweight electric vehicles, such as rickshaws, electric wheel chairs and other electric personal mobility devices, favoring a new, low cost, sustainable urban modal variant.

The JDL Data Fusion Model is revisited aiming explicit human intelligence retention, using supervision at every possible level of the original model. This subtle variation of the model would extensively accept direct human guidance, behaving as a tool for interactive visual perception enhancement. A software design for interaction at level 1 of the fusion model is proposed for implementation and evaluation. Typical applications expected are related with environmental analysis and assessment, particularly, in the tasks of data association and track fusion in multi-target multi-sensor scenarios.
