Abstract

Dynamic charging has the potential to overcome the barriers to electric vehicle (EV) adoption by converting road segments into powered lanes (electric roadways or ERs). This paper focuses on examining public acceptance by determining the factors that affect the short-term and long-term intention to purchase an EV and drive on ERs; identifying the clusters of the technology acceptance; and assessing the value of travel time savings (VTTS) for driving on ERs, in general, and for different clusters. A survey was conducted in Los Angeles, California and distributed online, gathering 600 responses. The results showed that respondents’ innovativeness, lifestyle and environmental consciousness significantly affect the intention to drive on ERs in the short- and long-run. Public acceptance, in general, seems to be related to charging patterns, safety of commute route, and safety concerns for ERs, among other factors, and depends on the implementation time of the technology. Higher VTTS were found for electrified lanes exclusive for EVs on interstate and arterial roads. People who were classified as positive toward ERs had higher VTTS for ERs followed by those who were neutral and those who were concerned about ERs. This paper can help policymakers and transport operators devise strategies to accelerate EV adoption by appropriately implementing the ER technology.

公众对电动道路的接受:以加利福尼亚州洛杉矶为例
摘要动态充电有可能通过将路段转换为电动车道(电动道路或ER)来克服电动汽车采用的障碍。本文通过确定影响购买电动汽车和驾驶电动汽车的短期和长期意愿的因素,重点考察公众的接受度;识别技术接受的集群;以及评估在ER上行驶以及不同集群的旅行时间节省(VTTS)的价值。一项调查在加利福尼亚州洛杉矶进行,并在网上发布,共收集了600份回复。结果表明,受访者的创新能力、生活方式和环境意识在短期和长期内显著影响驾驶ER的意愿。一般来说,公众的接受程度似乎与充电模式、通勤路线的安全性和紧急停车场的安全问题等因素有关,并取决于该技术的实施时间。在州际公路和主干道上,电动汽车专用的电动车道的VTTS更高。被归类为对ERs呈阳性的人对ERs的VTTS较高,其次是中性和关心ERs的人。本文可以帮助决策者和交通运营商制定策略,通过适当实施ER技术来加快电动汽车的采用。

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.
