Abstract:
The development of triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) over time has resulted in considerable improvements to the efficiency, effectiveness, and sensitivity of self-powered sensing. Triboelectric nanogenerators have low restriction and high sensitivity while also having high efficiency. The vast majority of previous research has found that accidents on the road can be attributed to road conditions. For instance, extreme weather conditions, such as heavy winds or rain, can reduce the safety of the roads, while excessive temperatures might make it unpleasant to be behind the wheel. Air pollution also has a negative impact on visibility while driving. As a result, sensing road surroundings is the most important technical system that is used to evaluate a vehicle and make decisions. This paper discusses both monitoring driving behavior and self-powered sensors influenced by triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs). It also considers energy harvesting and sustainability in smart road environments such as bridges, tunnels, and highways. Furthermore, the information gathered in this study can help readers enhance their knowledge concerning the advantages of employing these technologies for innovative uses of their powers.
