Abstract

The project proposes the use of piezoelectric pavements on urban sidewalks as a way to capture energy generated by pedestrian footsteps and convert it into electricity. The solution aims to integrate sustainable energy generation with smart city infrastructure, reducing dependence on the power grid and promoting energy autonomy in public spaces.
