Abstract

The Hybrid Road Power Generation system (RPGS) is a relatively new kind of unconventional source of clean and
green energy. It basically works by recovering and reprocessing the energy that is wasted by the vehicles while
passing over the speed breakers. This kinetic energy which is wasted is converted to electrical energy. This process
of reprocessing the energy that is wasted is enables electricity production at lower cost. The electricity produced can
be utilized in automatic traffic control as well as lighting road signs and street lights. Further, the electricity
produced can also be used as storage systems for back-up and emergency power. This process produces energy 24
hours a day as the pressure in mechanical energy is converted into electrical energy. This paper presents an
exploratory approach to substantiate the idea of the hybrid road power generation as an utilizable form of energy
