Many industries embracing digital innovations so as roads and transportations also. ‘Smart roads’ or ‘Smart highways’ are the road to the future. The electro-kinetic road ramp is a method of generating electricity by harnessing the kinetic energy of automobiles that drive over the ramp. As a car passes over a speed breaker most of kinetic energy is wasted as heat in it. By conserving this kinetic energy and generating electricity, we can supply this energy to the urban and remote areas for lightning purposes.
