Research on a system for collecting, storing and utilizing potential energy from mobile vehicle for public devices

Abstract

The paper presents a research on storing and utilizing energy collected from the movement of vehicles on road. This energy can be collected by a series of friction plates which are positioned on the road surface. Capacity of this potential energy is then recycled for public usage such as traffic signals, street lights, advertisement broads, etc. Energy balance of the system is also calculated to show the efficiency of the system which is important to develop such a practical system.
