Abstract: An electric vehicle having an electrical storage battery includes an inductive charge receiver configured to inductively couple to charging coils embedded in a roadway over which the vehicle travels in order to transfer charge to the storage battery. A ground penetrating radar transceiver is configured to interrogate the roadway including a region of the roadway toward which the vehicle is heading. The ground penetrating radar transceiver generates reflectance data including reflections from the charging coils. An object analyzer is responsive to the reflectance data and configured to map the charging coils relative to the vehicle. A path controller is configured to determine a steering operation of the vehicle along the roadway for optimizing a charge transfer from the charging coils to the inductive charge receiver.

Abstract: This application provides a wireless charging board, a wireless charging board misalignment detection method, and a wireless charging system. The wireless charging board includes a power transmitting coil, a detection circuit, a plurality of metal induction coils, and a processor. Each metal induction coil disposed on a second plane in the wireless charging board detects, through induction, whether a metal exists right above the metal induction coil, and generates an induced electrical signal. The processor determines charging position misalignment information of the wireless charging board. According to this application, an adjustment range during alignment between a target charging working region and the wireless charging board can be expanded, thereby ensuring that a sufficient adjustment space is left for a driver, and achieving high applicability.

Abstract: A system such as a vehicle may have control circuitry that controls a steering and propulsion system. The control circuitry may use the steering and propulsion system to park the vehicle in a parking space. Wireless power may be transferred from a wireless power transmitter in the parking space to a wireless power receiver coupled to a vehicle body in the vehicle. The control circuitry may use sensors to make sensor measurements during parking events. The control circuitry may also gather information on wireless power transfer efficiency. Historical vehicle-to-wireless-power-transmitter alignment information may be updated based on the sensor measurements and corresponding wireless power transfer efficiency measurements and may be used to park the vehicle in an optimal location during subsequent parking events. Vehicle parking position may be intentionally varied over a series of parking events to gather additional alignment information.
