This paper is concerned with an overview of novel experimental green technologies roadway energy harvesting that could guarantee, in a not so distant future, a significant source of electric power and lead a decrease of greenhouse gases (CO2) emission. Two different most promising free emission technologies for energy harvesting from road pavements are considered and analyzed as: the piezoelectric system for generating electric power from vehicular traffic stresses and the photovoltaic panels for converting solar energy into electricity. Finally, as case study, a preliminary application analysis of these two technologies on an A24 motorway section located in central Italy has been carried out and the results are discussed and compared in terms of energy production.

Abstract
This paper is concerned with an overview of novel experimental green technologies roadway energy harvesting that could guarantee, in a not so distant future, a significant source of electric power and lead a decrease of greenhouse gases (CO2) emission. Two different most promising free emission technologies for energy harvesting from road pavements are considered and analyzed as: the piezoelectric system for generating electric power from vehicular traffic stresses and the photovoltaic panels for converting solar energy into electricity. Finally, as case study, a preliminary application analysis of these two technologies on an A24 motorway section located in central Italy has been carried out and the results are discussed and compared in terms of energy production.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
