Power supply of road infrastructure objects from alternative sources

Abstract

Introduction. To improve safety and reduce accidents, transport infrastructure facilities are equipped by the new additional light-signaling and lighting devices. The article discusses the electrification of transport infrastructure facilities, analyzes the options for implementing autonomous power supply of these facilities, and assesses the possibilities of using various types of generators on renewable energy sources.Materials and methods. An experimental model of a generator based on alternative energy sources, built into a speed bump has been developed and manufactured.Results. An assessment of the energy consumed by the light-signaling and lighting equipment of an unregulated pedestrian crossing and the electrical energy generated by an experimental model of a generator built into speed bump has been made.Discussion and conclusions. An assessment of the efficiency of the developed generator, built into a speed bump, to provide electrical energy to the lighting equipment of an unregulated pedestrian crossing, was carried out, and the insufficient performance of the experimental sample was revealed. It is planned to solve these problems during the continuation of the study.
