About Paper:

Electric vehicle (EV) infrastructure is essential to overcoming range anxiety and promoting EV adoption. High- power infrastructure is necessary for electrified freight operations as duty-cycle and operator schedule limits stop times and locations. This study focuses on two objectives: Understanding existing dwell and truck stops for long-haul freight where EVSEs can be installed and assessing road segments for Dynamic Wireless Power Transfer (DWPT). An analysis is conducted using RSD Container Yard Services freight data to identify frequent stop locations and high-use roadways. Our K-means clustering algorithm shows 32 potential sites for direct current fast charging (DCFC) electric vehicle supply equipment's (EVSE) installation for electrified freight. These locations would enable most freight along the large interstate corridors to feasibly transition to battery-electric propulsion and mitigate the pollution of heavy-duty freight. Keywords: DCFC, freight operations, I-15, I-80, EV infrastructure, range anxiety, duty-cycle, EVSE, DWPT, K- means clustering, battery-electric propulsion, pollution reduction.
