The Smart Walking Path Energy Generator is an innovative and eco-friendly solution that transforms the kinetic energy generated from pedestrian footsteps into electrical energy using piezoelectric and pressure-sensitive technologies. Integrated beneath sidewalks or walking tracks, this system is designed to power urban infrastructure such as streetlights, environmental sensors, and charging stations. It helps reduce dependence on non-renewable energy sources and supports the development of smart, sustainable cities. The project utilizes materials such as PZT, PVDF, copper wires, supercapacitors, and microcontrollers to efficiently harvest, store, and manage the energy. A smart monitoring system tracks energy production, foot traffic, and system health in real time. The flow of energy—from detection and conversion to storage and utilization—is automated, with alerts for maintenance to ensure consistent performance. This dual-purpose infrastructure not only enhances public spaces but also raises awareness about renewable energy. Its novelty lies in integrating pedestrian movement into city energy systems, contributing valuable data for urban planning. In the future, wireless energy transmission will be explored to improve efficiency. The Smart Walking Path Energy Generator demonstrates the potential for everyday human activity to be a source of clean, renewable power, promoting greener cities and sustainable development for future generations.
