Abstract
This chapter introduces the future green transportation systems based on SMFIR. The four systems considered are transportation systems in airport, harbor, ship transportation, and electric vehicles. In airports, cargos can be transported within the warehouse using electric carriers that use SMFIR. In harbors, containers are delivered to and from ships to ground-transportation stations, which can be done using OLEV-type transports. Also, the ships that operate in rivers and coastal areas can be propelled electrically with batteries that are charged through underwater SMFIR system. Also, various issues associated with wireless power transfer to electric vehicles such as health, safety, cost, and markets are discussed.
