The United States has a transportation challenge that requires addressing four issues simultaneously: traffic congestion, environmental pollution, safety, and energy security. A potential solution to these transportation challenges is the concept of an electrified guideway infrastructure providing energy in real time to automated vehicles. This project surveyed existing electrified advanced transportation concepts and selected five systems for evaluation of their technology readiness. None of the systems evaluated were judged ready for commercialization, but potential benefits of the technology warrant further development. Stakeholder interviews and a survey of collaboration mechanisms identified organizational and research paths that would enable accelerated development of a system capable of handling personal vehicles, public transit, and driverless freight movement on a common 21st century infrastructure.
