The document reviews literature on power generation using speed breakers. Several studies have proposed mechanisms to harness kinetic energy from vehicles passing over speed breakers using hydraulic systems, rack and pinion gears connected to generators, and regenerative braking systems. These mechanisms have been found to generate up to 12 or 72 watts from a single vehicle, with potential to contribute meaningfully to global energy needs at scale through widespread implementation. Further research is still needed to optimize energy harvesting systems and evaluate economic feasibility of large-scale applications.

Power Generation using Speed Breaker

Power generation using speed breakers is a recent concept that has been explored to
generate electricity from the kinetic energy of vehicles. This technology has been studied by
various researchers and engineers to harness the energy generated by the vehicles while
passing over speed breakers. The following literature review highlights some of the key studies
on power generation using speed breakers.
One of the earliest studies on power generation using speed breakers was conducted by
Prathap et al. (2012), who proposed a mechanism to generate electricity by using a hydraulic
system. The system consisted of a hydraulic cylinder, a pressure relief valve, and a hydraulic
motor. The study concluded that the proposed mechanism was efficient in generating electricity
from speed breakers.
Another study by Suman et al. (2015) proposed a mechanism to generate electricity
using a rack and pinion system, which was connected to a generator. The study concluded that
the proposed mechanism was capable of generating electricity from speed breakers and could
be used in urban areas to reduce energy consumption.
Several studies have investigated the feasibility of generating electricity from speed
breakers. One such study by Bade et al. (2017) proposed a mechanical energy harvester using
a rack and pinion mechanism. The results showed that the harvester was able to generate up to
12 Watts of power from a single vehicle passing over the speed breaker.
Several studies have also investigated the potential for scaling up power generation
using speed breakers. For instance, a study by Bera et al. (2019) proposed a modular design
for speed breaker energy harvesters, which could be easily scaled up to generate more power.
The results showed that the modular design was able to generate up to 72 watts of power from
a single vehicle.
A recent study by Patil et al. (2021) proposed a mechanism to generate electricity using
a regenerative braking system. The system consisted of a regenerative braking unit, a battery,
and an inverter. The study concluded that the proposed mechanism was efficient in generating
electricity and had the potential to be used in areas where electricity supply is limited.
Overall, the research conducted so far suggests that power generation using speed
breakers is a promising source of energy. While the amount of power generated from a single
speed breaker is relatively small, the potential for widespread implementation of this technology
could result in a significant contribution to global energy needs. Additionally, power generation
using speed breakers has the added benefit of reducing the amount of energy wasted through
vehicle braking, making it a sustainable and environmentally friendly source of energy.
In conclusion, the literature suggests that power generation from speed breakers is a
promising alternative energy source. The studies reviewed above demonstrate that various
energy harvesting methods can be used to generate electricity from road traffic, and that the
power output can be scaled up using modular designs. Further research is needed to optimize
the energy harvesting systems and to investigate the economic feasibility of implementing such
systems on a larger scale.
