Abstract

Catenary electric road system (ERS) is a technology that enables powering pantograph-equipped road freight vehicles with electricity from overhead catenary while in motorway traffic to provide energy for propulsion and charging the vehicle batteries. Once leaving the catenary road, the energy stored in the battery or another energy source, e.g. hybrid diesel, natural gas or hydrogen, is used for propulsion.

In this research we model the deployment of such catenary network on the Flemish road network in Belgium to identify three points. First, what are the economic impacts of the catenary electric road system implementation in Flanders for the road haulage industry, their clients and wider society under different technology adoption scenarios. Second, what is the most optimal way of building such a catenary network. And last, what are the synergies that would come from implementation of this technology in the neighboring countries and how to benefit from those.

In this research we find that catenary ERS has the potential to be developed into an economically sustainable and relatively cheap way of decarbonizing road freight transport. It offers considerable economic incentives for all the involved stakeholders and is beneficial to the society as a whole.

法兰德斯悬链式电力道路系统实施的经济影响

悬挂式电动道路系统（ERS）是一种在高速公路上为装有受电弓的道路货运车辆提供电力的技术，该技术通过架空的悬挂式电线杆为车辆提供推进和充电所需的能量。在这项研究中，我们模拟了在比利时弗拉芒公路网部署这种集电弓网络的情况，以确定三点。首先，在不同的技术应用方案下，佛兰德斯实施的电力导管道路系统对道路运输行业、其客户和更广泛的社会有哪些经济影响。其次，建设这种双轨网络的最佳方式是什么？在这项研究中，我们发现，双体电力线路系统有潜力发展成为一种经济上可持续且相对廉价的道路货运去碳化方式。它为所有相关利益方提供了可观的经济激励，并对整个社会有益。

期刊介绍： The International Journal of Sustainable Transportation provides a discussion forum for the exchange of new and innovative ideas on sustainable transportation research in the context of environmental, economical, social, and engineering aspects, as well as current and future interactions of transportation systems and other urban subsystems. The scope includes the examination of overall sustainability of any transportation system, including its infrastructure, vehicle, operation, and maintenance; the integration of social science disciplines, engineering, and information technology with transportation; the understanding of the comparative aspects of different transportation systems from a global perspective; qualitative and quantitative transportation studies; and case studies, surveys, and expository papers in an international or local context. Equal emphasis is placed on the problems of sustainable transportation that are associated with passenger and freight transportation modes in both industrialized and non-industrialized areas. All submitted manuscripts are subject to initial evaluation by the Editors and, if found suitable for further consideration, to peer review by independent, anonymous expert reviewers. All peer review is single-blind. Submissions are made online via ScholarOne Manuscripts.
