Project 1.11: Energy Harvesting and Advanced Technologies for Enhanced Life
Energy Harvesting and Advanced Technologies for Enhanced Lifentelligent Compaction with Passive Wireless Sensors
Project 1.11
Project Summary
The objectives of this project are:
• to develop a perpetual pavement system with embedded solar harvesting unit
• to perform Infrastructure Assessments Through Solar Energy Harvesting
• to perform a thermodynamic analysis of the pavement cooling system and the pavement system with embedded solar harvesting unit (i) to ascertain the maximum benefits that are possible within the constraints of thermodynamics, and (ii) to identify the most important sources of losses and inefficiencies within each system.
