WIRELESS POWER TRANSFER TRANSMITTER SYSTEM IN ASPHALT PAVEMENT AND CONSTRUCTION/REHABILITATION METHOD THEREOF

A wireless power transfer transmitter system and a method of constructing an asphalt pavement containing the wireless power transfer transmitter system are provided. The present disclosure allows future rehabilitation of the asphalt pavement. The construction method includes: forming a channel in a layer of a drivable civil structure; forming a magnetizable asphalt mixture in the channel, the magnetizable asphalt mixture including an asphalt binding substance and magnetizable particles; and placing a pre-manufactured transmitter coil or a pre-manufactured transmitter coil assembly in the magnetizable asphalt mixture. The pre-manufactured transmitter coil assembly includes a transmitter coil and a holder, which may or may not be permanently installed in the pavement, a part of the transmitter coil is installed in the holder, and 0 to 90 percent of the transmitter coil is embedded in the magnetizable asphalt mixture.
