This book provides a synthesis of recent developments in Axiomatic Design theory and its application in large complex systems.

This book details the design and technology of the on-line electric vehicle (OLEV) system and its enabling wireless power-transfer technology, the -shaped magnetic field in resonance- (SMFIR). The text shows how OLEV systems can achieve their three linked important goals:

• reduction of CO₂ produced by ground transportation;
• improved energy efficiency of ground transportation; and
• contribution to the amelioration or prevention of climate change and global warming.

SMFIR provides power to the OLEV by wireless transmission from...
