Energy Harvesting by Piezoelectric Sensor Array in Road Using Internet of Things

Nowadays electricity is more important in our day-to-day life, Energy is being harvested by using external sources such as a windmill, solar panel, kinetic energy etc. Here we are proposed to produce electricity on roads, the pathway by using the piezoelectric sensors. The Piezoelectric sensor works by converting the mechanical energy (which is created by pressure) into electrical energy. The electricity is produced by the pressure, vibration on the piezoelectric sensor which is placed in roads or pathway. When the vehicle moves sensor generates electrical energy by using the pressure of the vehicle’s weight. Then it is stored and used for Signals, Streetlights etc.
