Using piezoelectric materials to convert mechanical energy into electrical energy provides ideas for energy self-consistency of road infrastructure. Since some 3–3 form piezoelectric transducers underutilize vehicle loads, which weaken the energy conversion potential, the full-pressure concept was p...
