Abstract: In this paper using Equivalent Electrode Method (EEM) Atmospheric Electric Field (AEF) distribution in the vicinity of the cargo vehicle is approximately numerically determined, when the vehicles are situated on petrol station near by petrol pump and people. The petrol pump is always grounded, but human body and vehicle are treated as grounded or `floating'' electrodes. Several results of electric field enhancement factor for the vehicle including maps of equienergetic curves are presented.
Keywords: Atmospheric electric field, induced charge, equivalent electrode method, vehicle.
