摘要

With an emphasis on solar, thermoelectric, electromagnetic, and piezoelectric systems, this paper discusses recent developments in energy harvesting technologies within pavement engineering. With continuous attempts to improve energy production and durability under traffic loads, piezoelectric devices transform mechanical stress from vehicle traffic into electrical energy. Thermoelectric systems provide a sustainable urban infrastructure option by using temperature differences in pavements to produce electricity. Another promising technique for producing renewable energy is solar energy collection using photovoltaic panels built into sidewalks. Electromagnetic energy harvesting uses a changing magnetic field to induce an electric current in a conductor, which helps convert mechanical energy from traffic loads and vibrations into electrical energy. Combining these technologies to create hybrid systems offers a viable way to optimize energy capture. Nonetheless these developments, issues like system integration and material durability still exist. To optimize these systems for real-world use, support sustainable infrastructure, and lessen reliance on traditional energy sources, more research is essential.
