Solar pavement: Smart means of transportation Channi Harpreet Kaur Ph.d Research Scholar and Assisstant Professor, Department of Electrical Engineering, Chandigarh University, Gharuan, Mohali Online published on 24 October, 2019. Abstract Roadways are major infrastructure for connecting people and providing access and mobility. The traffic induced strains and stresses generated by the vehicles can be potentially used for energy harvesting purposes. Piezoelectric devices are ideal candidates for harvesting energy in asphalt pavement roadways as they convert mechanical strain energy into electric voltage. Considering the best combination of variables, the piezoelectric devices could be ideal candidates for harvesting energy in asphalt pavement roadways. Photovoltaic pavement is a form of pavement that generates electricity by collecting solar power with photovoltaics. Parking lots, footpaths, driveways, streets and highways are all candidate locations where this material can be used. This paper highlights the working and benefits of solar panel roadway. Top Keywords Infrastructure, Photovoltaics, Traffic, Energy, Mobility, Streets. Top |
