De La Salle University Dasmariñas students developed a study on a piezoelectric pedestrian crossing that
can produce sustainable electrical energy when force is applied. The study aimed to determine changes
in pedestrian behavior when crossing and promote the device as an alternative energy source. Another
study discussed a piezoelectric shoe that generates electrical energy from human locomotion and can
serve as a portable charger, with energy output dependent on the number of steps taken.

The study by Balansay et al. developed portable power-generating floorboards that transform
mechanical energy from footsteps into electrical energy using piezoelectric transducers. The generated
electrical energy is stored in a battery after being converted from alternating current to direct current
using a full wave bridge rectifier. The project is eco-friendly and can serve as an alternative power
source during power outages. The study highlights the potential of piezoelectricity to generate
renewable energy for small loads and reduce pollution by using alternative energy sources. The goal is
to create a portable and efficient solution for emergency power supply by utilizing piezoelectricity.

Ahmed et al. (2019) conducted a study on the potential of using piezoelectric tiles in high-traffic areas to
generate ambient energy from human foot traffic. The study suggests that this energy can be used to
power low-power devices such as streetlights, reducing reliance on traditional energy sources and
decreasing the carbon footprint of urban areas. The researchers also note that piezoelectric energy
harvesting has potential applications in wearable technology, industrial automation, and environmental
monitoring systems, providing an alternative and sustainable source of energy generation. Overall, the
study highlights the significant potential of piezoelectric energy harvesting as a viable alternative energy
source.

Sathish et al. (2021) conducted a study on generating electrical energy from mechanical vibrations in
urban areas using piezoelectric energy harvesting. They found that the method is easy to implement and
maintain, and a single unit can generate a significant amount of voltage. The results can be scaled up to
multiple units and entire footpaths can be connected to a single monitoring system for localized data.
The output can be stored in large battery packs, which can increase the lifetime and capability of battery
sources. The study has implications for the development of sustainable and environmentally friendly
energy solutions in urban areas.
The study by Elhalwagy, A.M., Ghoneem, M. Y. M., and Elhadidi, M. (2017) suggests that there is a need
for clean energy solutions, and piezoelectric energy harvesting floors offer potential solutions. However,
they note that it is important to consider the types of piezoelectric technology available and their
effectiveness in energy harvesting floors to effectively implement this technology. The study also
presents case studies of the feasibility of using piezoelectric energy harvesting floors in buildings'
interior spaces.
