The pursuit of lower vehicle emissions has allowed the market share of electric vehicles (EVs) to rapidly increase, which has motivated researchers to develop several charging techniques, aiming to minimize the charging downtime and reduce the range anxiety of EV drivers. Of those techniques, dynamic wireless charging (DWC) has gained significant traction due to the substantial amount of work that has been done in wireless charging. However, with DWC, some unforeseen challenges have risen. These include identifying the optimum locations of those DWCs with the objective of maximizing the system efficiency while minimizing the system cost by minimizing the required lengths of charging lanes. This paper focuses on formulating the deployment optimization problem to find the optimum locations, along with the optimum length of DWC lanes at each location, by utilizing traffic simulations and non-linear optimization methods, aiming to maximize the total energy transfer of the system while meeting a given budget.
