Revolutionizing urban roads: a comprehensive review of piezoelectric technology for smart infrastructure

Abstract

This research paper explores the use of piezoelectric technology for sustainable energy generation and performance monitoring on smart urban roads. Piezoelectric materials convert mechanical stress into electrical voltage, offering high efficiency, durability, and low maintenance. The study investigates the potential benefits and challenges of implementing piezoelectric systems, and creates a framework for their optimal design and deployment. It also explores criteria for selecting urban roadways.
