A Review of Dynamic Wireless Charging and Reservations for CAEV and UAV in 5G/6G ITS

An overview of the dynamic wireless charging (DWC) system design and architectures is presented to highlight its profound impact within the dynamic framework of 6G-enabled intelligent transportation systems (ITS). A historical overview of DWC architecture is provided to trace its evolution and highlight emerging trends. Thus, establishing a foundational understanding of this rapidly developing field. This paper also focuses on the management of charging requirements for both connected and autonomous electric vehicles (CAEVs) and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). A survey of innovative charging reservation strategies that are vital for optimal use of DWC infrastructure is presented. Further, the effect of early and late-arriving vehicles on DWC reservation systems is explored to highlight areas of improvement for research. Finally, we propose our meticulously designed architecture for the DWC reservation and trip planning for efficient charging of both CAEVs and UAVs. This is concluded by the presentation of innovative strategies to manage early and late arrival scenarios of both CAEVs and UAVs. Thus, promoting a more sustainable, efficient, and interconnected future of CAEV and UAV charging within the 5G/6G ITS.
