A Systematic Review of Energy Harvesting from Roadways by using Piezoelectric Materials Technology

Ali Qabur* and Khaled Alshammari

Piezoelectric energy harvesting technology is attracting more attention in recent years due to the trend of finding new and green sources of energy. This project presents a state of the art review in the area of using piezoelectric materials to harvest energy from roadways. The aim of this project is to investigate the process of harvesting energy from roadways starting from the used piezoelectric materials, harvesters and the conditions of the roadways. Many papers were evaluated and analyzed to study the current progress in the area including of the efficiency and feasibility of extant work. The results were obtained from various sources under different circumstances and compared, in order to determine the most efficient outcome in terms of cost and implementation in practical applications.
