Problem Statement

The goal of this project is to develop a mechanism that
will facilitate automated EV charging, providing support
to disabled individuals. In addition, the system will also
support the charging of autonomous vehicles. The
system will overcome the weaknesses of wireless
charging solutions (i.e., uncertain charger alignment,
lack of energy efficiency and V2G discharge support). In
the future, the mechanism could enable fleet charging
of delivery EVs (such as U.S. postal trucks).
