Abstract

The integration of piezoelectric poles in road infrastructure presents a promising avenue for sustainable energy generation and smart infrastructure development. Piezoelectric materials, which generate electrical energy when subjected to mechanical stress or pressure, can be embedded in road poles to harness the energy from vehicles passing by. These poles can convert the vibrations and pressure created by traffic into usable electrical energy, which can then be utilized to power streetlights, traffic signals or even be stored for future use. The potential for reducing dependency on traditional energy sources while improving the functionality and sustainability of roadways is substantial. Furthermore, piezoelectric poles can contribute to the development of smart roads, integrating sensors and communication systems that enhance traffic management and safety. This paper explores the feasibility, design, and applications of piezoelectric poles on roads, evaluating their potential environmental and economic benefits, as well as the challenges in scaling this technology for widespread use in modern transportation networks.
