Electrified Highway for Heavy Vehicles Using Catenary System

Abstract

This paper addresses the urgent need for the transportation industry to move away from dependency on nonrenewable energy sources by providing a thorough analysis of current developments in the electric vehicle (EV) sector. Alternative forms of transportation must be investigated and put into practice since traditional vehicles emit dangerous compounds continuously, which contributes significantly to environmental pollution. The Electric Highway, a cutting-edge technology that is transforming conventional transportation networks, is one encouraging option. By integrating electrical road infrastructure, the Electric Highway enables cars to take electricity straight from the grid by means of dynamic pantographs that are fixed to overhead transmission lines. With the help of this innovative method, EVs can now charge their batteries while driving, greatly minimizing the need for frequent stops to refuel. Vehicles can easily refuel by utilizing the infrastructure of the Electric Highway, which improves driver convenience and efficiency. This study examines the features and advantages of electric vehicles (EVs) as well as their inherent limits and the pressing need for sustainable transportation alternatives. We can ensure the continuous mobility and functionality of modern civilization while paving the way for a greener, more ecologically sensitive future by supporting initiatives like the Electric Highway.
