Abstract

Sustainable urban development requires the use of energy-harvesting methods that are effective. To address this requirement, researchers developed the Piezoelectricity. Activated Sidewalk Pad (PASP), a cutting-edge device that uses foot activity from pedestrians to produce sustainable energy. The design, execution, and energy conversion efficiency of the PASP constitute the primary topics of this study, which delves into the system's performance and viability. The research assesses the PASP's effectiveness in converting mechanical energy from footsteps into electrical power through extensive experimentation and analysis. To maximize the PASP's sustainability and efficacy, other factors including material selection, construction, and environmental appropriateness are looked at. The results demonstrate how the PASP may lessen its environmental effect while promoting urban energy sustainability. Furthermore, by providing viable solutions for sustainable urban infrastructure, this research sets the groundwork for future developments in piezoelectricity-activated devices.
