Emerging Technologies - Mis 750
1. Identify an Emerging Information Technology
OnLine Electric Vehicles (OLEV) - Wireless technology can now deliver electric power to moving vehicles. In next-generation electric cars, pick-up coil sets under the vehicle floor receive power remotely via an electromagnetic field broadcast from cables installed under the road. The current also charges an onboard battery used to power the vehicle when it is out of range. As electricity is supplied externally, these vehicles need only a fifth of the battery capacity of a standard electric car, and can achieve transmission efficiencies of over 80%. Online electric vehicles are currently undergoing road tests in Seoul, South Korea.
2. Describe the technology differentiators / strengths ü ü ü ü ü OLEV (On Line Electric Vehicle) Technology delivers a safe, efficient electric vehicle with inmotion charging capability via wireless power transfer. The OLEV (On Line Electric Vehicle) system delivers an environmentally sustainable solution with vastly lower energy consumption with benefits that include stationary and in-motion wireless charging Eliminates downtime for recharging; zero tailpipe emissions; continuous operation with unlimited driving range highly flexible routes that can be designed to any configuration. The OLEV technology solution is targeted to dedicated and semi-fixed route transit systems, including airport, campus and national park bus fleets, urban rapid transit systems and catenaryfree electric trolleys and trams, as well as commercial fleets. OLEV™ technology can be retrofitted to existing fleets or deployed in all new fleets.
3. What is the primary impact this technology will have on organizations?
Business and investors need to act on the new commercial opportunities presented by recharging infrastructure and harness revenue from the sale of electricity and auxiliary services, such as media, communications and mobility services, recharging infrastructure and back-office systems. The
