Abstract

This article proposes a magnetic integration design for EV wireless power transfer (WPT) systems, where the compensation and transmitting coils overlap one on top of the other to share the ferrite layer without any decoupling consideration. The magnetic field generated by both the compensation and transmitting coils are exploited to transfer power. To this end, a compensation method is proposed to enable magnetic field enhancement without any reactive power flow between the compensation and the transmitting coils, and to achieve input zero phase angle and constant current output. In addition, an efficient finite element analysis-based coil optimization algorithm is proposed to improve the coil misalignment tolerance on the horizontal plane, in which a reversely connected inner coil is used to stabilize the system output under misalignment conditions. Analytical and simulation results confirm transmission flux density enhancement and reduced leakage field characteristics of the proposed coil design. Finally, a scaled-down WPT prototype is built and tested to verify the performance and effectiveness of the design. The proposed design achieves 91.17% efficiency and misalignment tolerance up to 200 mm in any XY-direction while maintaining the power transfer and its efficiency. The results of this work provide insights into magnetic integration design of high-order compensation topologies featuring higher compactness, less ferrite usage, magnetic field enhancement, and misalignment tolerance for WPT systems.

Large language models for transportation research: Methodologies, state of the art, and future opportunities

The rapid rise of large language models (LLMs) is transforming transportation research, with significant advancements emerging between 2023 and 2025, a period marked by the inception and swift growth of adopting and adapting LLMs for various transportation applications. Despite these significant advancements, however, a systematic review and synthesis of the existing literature remains lacking. This paper aims to fill this gap by providing a comprehensive review of the methodologies and applications of LLMs in transportation. We explore key applications, including autonomous driving, travel behavior prediction, and general transportation-related queries, alongside LLM methodologies such as zero- or few-shot learning, prompt engineering, and fine-tuning. From the review, critical research gaps are identified. From the methodological perspective, many of the research limitations can be addressed by integrating LLMs with existing tools and refining LLM architectures. From the application perspective, research opportunities for LLMs to address various transportation challenges are also explored. By synthesizing these findings, this review not only presents the state-of-the-art LLM adoption and adaptation in transportation, but also proposes future research directions as well as insights and recommendations for policymakers and practitioners, paving the way for greater LLM-driven research innovations in transportation in the future.
