Online Electric Vehicle (OLEV) represents one of the latest hi-tech transport systems that have been launched in South Korea a few years ago. This typical electrically chargeable transport is endowed with many unique features and attributes. Based on the potential positive aspects of the system and the technology experts in other countries envisaged numerous uses of the technology including passenger transport, logistics and goods transports, construction sites, railroad, moving inventory in large industrial premises and in big retail stores to move the trolleys and other departmental store transports for the purpose of moving gods. Online electric vehicle (OLEV) is the technology first launched by the researchers of Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) in their effort to launch a new transport system. When the whole world are concerned of the future alternative to petroleum and other sources of energy like natural gas OLEV can be proper solution marking a new era of our transport system going green and ecologically balanced.
How Online Electric vehicles (OLEV) Works?
It sounds amazing that a vehicle that runs on electricity takes its power from the road, while there is no sign of electrical wire on the road surface. Yes, that is how it seems to work at first glance. Online electric vehicles (OLEV) run on recharging road which denotes to the strips of road underneath which electric power strips are spread and the vehicle while moving over the road surface just connects to the power through magnetic induction. The system is more like trackless train with number of passenger cars moving behind the tractor that takes the power down from the road. As per the historical accounts of similar technology that previously been launched in other parts of the world, OLEV differs in number of aspects than the earlier versions of similar technology. Most important of these differences is the security aspect. In previous experiments the magnetic induction sometimes proved to be harmful to the passengers and on-board people because of electromagnetic radiation. OLEV could successfully address the safety issues by properly providing shield from the magnetic induction system.
Benefits and Future
As per the latest available information Online electric vehicles OLEV) technology is going to be launched in a bus service in one of the business cities of South Korea from this year only making it the first passenger bus service run on this technology. Similarly this revolutionary innovation has been followed in other parts of the world to come out with alternative environment friendly public transport systems and technologies. This typical wireless technology of feeding a vehicle its required electricity for producing kinetic energy is revolutionary in many respects and benefits are enormous. Use of alternate source of power in transport vehicles will definitely have some restoring effect on the world's decreasing energy level and fast abolishing nature. Secondly being zero emission vehicle it will be least polluting to the environment. Thirdly as Online electric vehicles (OLEV) run on electricity it is definitely going to be cheaper when it becomes the main mode of public transport.
