Electric roads: The importance of sharing the infrastructure among different vehicle types
Paper in proceeding, 2017

Electric Road Systems (ERS) are analysed here as a feasible solution for the electrification of heavy traffic, where the predominant approach for passenger cars based only on batteries and a network of fast-charging stations combined with slower overnight charging becomes unrealistic due to the large amount of batteries required. Nonetheless, this study shows that in most cases, building such ERS so that they can be used by both types of vehicles results in added value to society.
