Abstract:
A traffic regulation system and method which combines energy harvesting from the movement of a plurality of vehicles on a roadway with wireless directional power beam transmission using the harvested energy to encourage compliance with traffic regulations. Electric power is generated from the movement of the moving vehicles by using a wind turbine to harvest wind energy from the movement of vehicles or by piezoelectric plates which harvest compression energy from the weight of the vehicle tires on the road surface. The electric power is transmitted to electric or hybrid vehicles which comply with the traffic regulations. The traffic regulations are one of driving at a posted speed and driving at a safe following distance. A control system adjusts the traffic regulation based on measurements received from a plurality of detectors.
