Kinetic-to-Electric Energy Conversion
Project Information
Project ID:
FHWA-PROJ-10-0036
Project Abstract:
In phase I, researchers will evaluate existing piezoelectric generation technologies in the laboratory and through mathematical modeling to optimize placement in pavement. In phase II, project site selections will be made for demonstration and evaluation purposes.
Goals
The key project objective is to utilize piezoelectric generators embedded in the pavement to harvest electricity from the passage of traffic loads.
