Abstract and Bio

High-power dynamic wireless power transfer (DWPT) can extend electric vehicle range through in-route charging and enable smaller, lighter batteries. The Indiana Department of Transportation, Purdue University, and AECOM are piloting this technology on US-52/231 in West Lafayette, Indiana. The pilot project focuses on the benefits for heavy-duty vehicles, advancing range, efficiency, and safety. This presentation offers an overview of the project, construction updates, its implications for the future of mobility and autonomous vehicles, and AECOM’s other DWPT initiatives.

Reilly, an associate vice president and electrical senior manager for AECOM’s Illinois traffic, ITS, and electrical division, specializes in electrical, ITS, and EV charging infrastructure design. He has extensive experience providing electrical designs for DOTs, airports, railroads, and agencies nationwide. Reilly holds a bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering and is a licensed professional engineer in 13 states. He is a member of ITS Midwest, IES, and IALD.
