Intelligent DWC Reservation and Trip Planning of CAEV and UAV for 6G ITS

In the 6G era, addressing charging challenges for electric vehicles is paramount. This paper focuses on mitigating concerns for both Connected Autonomous Electric Vehicles (CAEVs) and Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). CAEV users face range anxiety, while UAV operators contend with limited battery sizes. The paper introduces a dynamic wireless charging (DWC) reservation and trip planning system, powered by 6G, vital for future smart cities. It provides a literature review on CAEV and UAV charge scheduling, proposing a novel system design tailored for 6G-enabled Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS), where UAVs serve CAEVs. Notably, for vehicle-to-vehicle DWC and communication, laser technology is utilized, ensuring reliability and efficiency. A dynamic arrival handling protocol addresses unpredictable vehicle arrivals. Simulation results showcase the system’s efficiency, optimizing charging and reducing wait times. With the impending 6G era, the paper aims to advance charging infrastructure for intelligent, flexible, and harmonized electric vehicle charging operations.
