Abstract

Street lighting systems traditionally rely on conventional electricity sources, leading to rising energy costs and a larger carbon footprint. They often miss the opportunity to harness renewable energy, particularly from kinetic sources. This paper introduces an innovative system that uses piezoelectric plates installed beneath speed breakers to generate electricity from passing vehicles. As vehicles exert pressure on these plates, electrical energy is produced, which is then enhanced by a DC-DC boost converter and stored in a battery. This energy powers streetlights, effectively converting wasted kinetic energy into usable power. The system not only offers a sustainable and cost-effective alternative for street lighting but also reduces dependence on non-renewable energy, promoting greater energy efficiency in urban infrastructure. By addressing the high energy consumption associated with street lighting, this approach contributes to eco-friendly solutions and supports the development of smart, sustainable urban environments
