Structural Analysis of Bituminous Road Pavements Embedding Charging Units for Electric Vehicles.

Among the arising technologies for electric mobility, the on-the-road (dynamic) vehicle charging appears to be a promising solution in order to overcome the current limitations of the electric vehicles’ batteries. For achieving this purpose, the use of Charging Units (CUs) embedded into the road pavements is needed. These CU are made of a cement concrete box in which the electric technologies are allocated. However, the CUs have not to be detrimental for the structural behavior of the pavements, including their load resistance performances.
