A Study To Assess The Possible Effects On Radio Based Services Of Electromagnetic Emissions From The Proposed Increase Of Electrically Powered Public And Private Transport

A report for the Radiocommunications Agency by Transport Research Laboratory

Authors: L. S Blanchard and D. Whitehead

Summary

This report describes the culmination of a project carried out on behalf of the Radiocommunications Agency to examine the possible impact of the introduction of new electric and hybrid transport technology on the radio frequency spectrum. A review of the current EMC regulations was carried out and recommendations for future changes to the regulations and standards are discussed. Results of electromagnetic emissions measurements carried out on an electric vehicle, a hybrid vehicle, a data bus fitted to a heavy goods vehicle and an electric train are included and possible sources of interference highlighted.

The report also includes a worldwide review of current, near market and future transport technologies, which includes an investigation into the potential effects of these technologies on the radio frequency spectrum.
