The road is safe for drivers, pedestrians, and wildlife near the road. Each individual coil embedded in the road is only activated when a licensed vehicle passes over it, and are thus are inactive (powered off) in their default mode. Without a licensed vehicle activating the coil to transfer energy, the technology is completely passive and will never transfer energy or radiation to unlicensed vehicles, people or animals passing by. Electric vehicles which do not have Electreon’s receivers can drive on the electric roadway without the concern that energy will be stolen from the roadway, as the vehicles will not be recognized by the coils and therefore will not be able to activate them.
The system has been thoroughly safety tested to identify safety risks, establish safe-practice routines, and manage energy transfer control when the charging is active. Testing has also ensured that the technology is completely safe for humans and the environment, and there’s no risk of electrocution, even in bad weather conditions. Pedestrians walking by the road, or traveling on the electric road are completely safe, even if they use hearing aids or pacemakers. Electreon’s technology has been tested and certified several times for safety in accordance with IEC, ISO, SAE, CE, and ICNIRP/CISPR testing requirements for electromagnetic frequency/compatibility.
