An Efficient Scheme for Wireless Charging of Electric Vehicles Using RFID with an Optimal Path Planning

The emission of the harmful CO2 in the environ- mental from the traditional fuel based vehicles is one of the major factors for the rise and popularity of electric vehicles (EVs) in the modern smart cities in the recent years. In this context, EVs provide an eco-friendly environment in the modern smart city. But, there exists many challenges (such as smart charging, path planning, information dissemination etc) for the usage of EVs in the modern smart city. So, there is a need for the new techniques and solutions to improve the efficiency of the existing charging system of the EVs. Keeping focus on these points, this paper proposes a new technique for the electric vehicle wireless charging using RFID tags alongwith an optimized path planning to have an optimal charging cost. In the proposed scheme, the application of RFID tags located at various points across the city is used to have an efficient payment system during EVs charging. To illustrate the proposed scheme, an algorithm which provides the navigation is also designed. The performance of the proposed scheme is tested keeping in view of the mobility of the EVs for an optimal path finding. The results obtained prove the effectiveness of the proposed solution.
