Abstract
The main objective of this dissertation is to investigate different aspects of the pricing and deployment of wireless charging lanes in an electrified road network. This dissertation first explores the association between transportation and power networks, where electric vehicles are used as electric storage units. It then investigates the equity concerns in the deployment of wireless charging lanes, aiming to fairly distribute the short-term and long-term benefits of wireless charging lanes among all network users. Finally, it introduces incentivized control schemes to re-route Infrastructure-Enabled Autonomous Electric Vehicles and lower the congestion in both transportation and power networks. Through the objectives discussed within this dissertation, society can benefit from sustainable means of transportation equitably and efficiently.
