  Abstract: Decentralized energy harvesting methods are becoming more popular due to rapid urbanization and the rising need for sustainable infrastructure. The road-embedded vehicle kinetic energy harvester (VKEH) design, mathematical modelling, and experimental validation are presented in this work. This paper presents the structural engineering, continuum mathematical modeling, and experimental validation of an optimized road-embedded vehicular kinetic energy harvester (VKEH). The mechanism utilizes a spring- loaded, low-friction rack-and-pinion transmission coupled with a …
