Design, Construction, and Maintenance of Electrified Roadway
One of the most significant challenges regarding the implementation of dynamic wireless power transfer is integration of the system into the infrastructure. The following are some of the challenges to consider.
- The system integration will require considerations of urban, suburban, and rural travel. Challenges related to daily urban commuting infrastructure are distinct from those of longer distance infrastructure solutions.
- Much of the surface transportation system is designed to last 50 to 75 years. Many current technological systems have design lives of 1 to 3 years. This time mismatch is partially to blame for difficulties in merging rapidly-changing, cutting-edge technology with infrastructure where longevity and durability are highly prized.
- The stringent reliability requirements of a delicate dynamic electrified roadway system must be integrated and work effectively in a highly variable, harsh, outdoor environment which includes heat, freeze/thaw, salt spray, extreme dynamic loads, and be protected from damage and vandalism.

Presenters/Authors
Marvin Halling
(), Utah State University, marv.halling@usu.edu;
Marvin W. Halling, PhD, PE, SE, F.ASCE is a Professor at Utah State University and Head of the structural engineering division. His professional career includes four years in structural engineering consulting in Los Angeles and twenty-three years as a university faculty member. He received a PhD from CalTech (1995) and an MS from Stanford University(1986).
He has tested and instrumented several bridges as part of the Federal Highway Administration’s (FHWA) Long Term Bridge Performance Program (LTBP). Additionally, Dr. Halling has tested and instrumented many bridges in Utah for studies funded by Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) and the Utah Transportation Center. He and his students analyzed dynamic data collected from five bridge moves that were part of UDOT’s Accelerated Bridge Construction (ABC) bridge program. He has also studied the durability of inductive coils embedded in concrete.
Dr. Halling has been involved in transportation infrastructure research since the late 1990’s.
