Site Visit to Dynamic Wireless Power Transfer Project Funded by INDOT and NSF

At the JTRP Executive Committee Meeting on September 20, 2024, an update on the Dynamic Wireless Power Transfer Project was provided by the Advancing Sustainability through Powered Infrastructure for Roadway Electrification (ASPIRE) Research Team consisting of Nadia Gkritza, John Haddock, Steve Pekarek, Dionysios Aliprantis , and Aaron Brovont. Partners and stakeholders from Venture Logistics, Cummins, Subaru, and Purdue Engineering
attended the meeting and participated in the discussion.  Following a review of the project timeline and future objectives, participants visited the US 231 site for the Dynamic Wireless test bed. They also had the opportunity to tour the ASPIRE laboratory in Wang Hall and see the electric coils used in the project.
