Summary

The electric vehicle could be the type of transportation system to be used most frequently by the general public in the near future. EMF exposure levels from electric vehicles causes some concern to the general public so they should be assessed for the different type of vehicles. This particular electric vehicle uses dynamic wireless power transfer (WPT) technology to charge its battery with the power delivered from the coils installed underground. In this case, passengers and drivers can be exposed to electromagnetic field (EMF) inside and outside of the vehicle when it is stationary or moving. In each case, two different EMF measurement protocols need to be applied to evaluate the human exposure levels to EMF. This Supplement  K.Suppl.29 to ITU-T K-series Recommendations includes the evaluation results of EMF exposure levels based on the exposure limits inside and outside of the electric vehicles known with the commercial name of OLEV (on-line electric vehicle), developed in Korea.
