We tried to study the application of piezo ceramic

sensors at tunnels. They showed that the vehicle

vibrations at any location across the tunnel
(pavement and walls) were too small for useful
scavenging energy because of the vehicle
suspensions and their pneumatic tires. They noted
that the potential of harvesting the railway (tracks)
vibrations is much higher. Their field measurements
showed that “at least 135 μJ were delivered to the
electrical load from 85 % of all trains”. Nevertheless,
it should be mentioned that modern designs of trains
and vehicles incorporate novel dampers so as to
improve travelling comfort by eliminating the
vibrations. This undersupply can be overcome by
applying vibration harvesters with more cantilevers.
As a train rolls down the track, the load it exerts on the track causes
vertical deflection. This displacement could engage a regenerative
device like an electromagnetic harvester and generate enough
power to operate local railway applications, which is especially
useful in remote areas where electrification is not cost effective.
Harvesting such energy is much more efficient with regular,
unidirectional motion, but track vibrations caused by a moving
train are pulse-like, bidirectional and somewhat erratic.
We have a new harvester capable of converting irregular,
oscillatory rail track vibrations into regulated unidirectional
rotational motion, similar to the way that an electric voltage
rectifier converts AC voltage into DC.
Professor Zuo estimates that the implementation of such a device
could save more than US$10 million in trackside power supply costs
for the New York State area alone, together with a reduction of
3,000 tons of carbon dioxide every year.
