| contents | Range anxiety and long recharging times remain critical barriers to electric vehicle adoption. Dynamic Inductive Charging (DIC) offers a compelling solution by enabling wireless power transfer while driving, potentially reducing battery size requirements and thus vehicle costs. However, DIC infrastructures are expensive and power-constrained, requiring intelligent resource allocation to maximize user satisfaction and economic viability. We propose a Model Predictive Control framework for optimal power allocation in DIC systems, using edge computing and vehicular communications to prioritize vehicles with critical battery states. The framework is implemented and evaluated through SUMO-based simulations on a realistic 10 km urban scenario in Istanbul, Turkey, under varying traffic intensities. Results demonstrate two critical limitations of uncoordinated allocation. First, resource utilization remains suboptimal despite available power when demand saturates system capacity. Second, when demand exceeds capacity, uniform distribution of power leaves a heavy tail of critically unsatisfied vehicles that may require emergency stops. Our MPC-based strategy addresses both regimes -- maximizing power utilization during saturation through dynamic stripe rebalancing, and improving satisfaction fairness under scarcity by aggressively prioritizing depleted batteries at the expense of well-charged vehicles. The framework and simulation tools are released as open-source to support further research in this emerging domain. |
