Smart Highway Using Renewable Sources of Energy

Abstract

A smart highway making use of renewable sources of energy is an innovative concept used for the road that are to be designed in future for the transportation facilities for safety purpose.Nowdays safety on road is to be considered an important factor so as to minimise the rate of accident.By this system also we can make the flow of traffic smooth without having any traffic problem and provide a smart lightning system on the road . By making the use of renewable sources we can also consume the energy naturally. The system includes vertical axis turbine which is a hybrid system as solar panel is set up on the top of turbine with the components like GSM module, AI(Artifical Intelligence), LDR sensor, Traffic counters, Led displays. The turbines are to be placed in the centre of road at a certain interval so as when the vehicle passes by the turbine it rotates due to the velocity flow of vehicle and also through the wind that flows naturally due to this flow the wind turbine will rotate and generate some energy and the energy which is genertaed will be stored in the form of battery and then will be supplied for the lightning system for traffic signal and other required purpose. It will also help to maintain the proper safety of the road as there are various components like GSM module installed on it also sleep awakening system emergency light system are used in this system so as to provide a proper safety while travelling.
