A strategic planning tool for governments to identify high-impact highway segments for overhead contact line (eHighway) installation that maximize GHG reduction per euro spent. It couples traffic-assignment models with power-grid constraints and battery-sizing economics to sequence a phased rollout of dynamic conductive charging for heavy-duty trucking, benchmarking overhead catenary against wireless inductive alternatives segment by segment rather than assuming catenary dominance everywhere.
The SWOT analysis reveals a high-value strategic tool that leverages a 'critical 5%' efficiency window to lower the barrier to freight electrification. While technically grounded in multi-objective network design, its success depends heavily on solving external political standardization issues and the niche economics of dual-mode truck adoption.

Essential for balancing the technical strength of the BM-NED model against the weakness of niche vehicle volumes and standardization risks. · Generated 2026-10-07 by cavi/gemma4-31b-it-awq-4bit-32kAI-generated
