“…Storm water infiltrates through permeable pavers and re-charges groundwater. The porous structure reduces the tireÀ road interaction and absorbs the sound generation, thus decreasing the tireÀload noise [134,163,164]. Intuitively, after a rainy event, pervious pavement provides better tireÀ road resistance, lighter nighttime driving visibility, and thus better driving safe than conventional dense pavements.…”

“…The harvested heat may be stored in the reservoir below the pavement for the snow melting in wintertime [133]. The heat collecting efficiency, or the pavement cooling efficiencies, is influenced by pipe's composition, pavement materials, pipe setup, as well as the flowing rate of the fluid [132,134,135]. Experimental test, theoretical analysis, and numerical simulations have been widely devoted to understanding the energy efficiency heat-harvesting pavements [131,134,136,137].…”

“…Few studies have proved that the electrical power output of a TEG in pavements could be improved by incorporating a piping arrangement into it. For instance, Hasebel et al developed a pavement‐cooling system with TEG wherein the pavement heat was captured by water flowing through pipes embedded in the pavement and river water near the road was used as coolant. The electricity produced by the proposed pipe‐pavement TEG (PP‐TEG) due to the temperature difference between the hot and cold water was sufficient enough to power the water pump.…”

Summary Energy harvesting from pavements has been a topic of extensive research in the recent past. This domain has attracted not only the research community but also the industry and governmental authorities. The various sources exploited for energy harvesting from pavements and roadways are solar radiation, mechanical energy dissipated due to moving vehicles and pedestrians, geothermal energy, rainwater, and wind. This article presents an exhaustive and updated review of all potential means of energy harvesting from these sources. Following the introductory section, the article sequentially covers the energy harvesting methods and their research progress, materials, development of practical systems, commercial status, comparison of technologies, challenges, and concluding remarks. This study reveals that there is wide scope for further research and feasibility studies, which could lead to a wide‐spread implementation of the various technologies for energy harvesting from pavements and roads.

“…Simulation on predicting the impact of 34 thermal properties of pavement slabs was carried out [19,20] and studies found that the asphalt 35 pavement type can be heated as high as 70 C during hot summer days [21]. The heating of the road 36 and pavement surfaces were related to the formation of UHI effect [22,23] and techniques of 7 pavement structural stress formation around the circulated pipes [26] and the potential pipe leaking 8 [31,32]. Thus, alternative options were studied and the prototypes were tested to overcome the 9 limitation [31,32].…”

8Studies on Road Pavement Solar Collectors (RPSC) have shown the potential of reducing the urban 9 heat island (UHI) effects by dissipating the heat from the pavement for energy harness. Several works 10 have shown that the generated heat could be utilised for sustainable urban energy system. However, 11 none of the previous literatures have assessed the effect of building geometry on the performance of 12 the RPSC. This study investigates the thermal performance of an urban-integrated RPSC system by 13 using CFD simulation of integrated RPSC system with a standard urban canyon domain and an empty 14 domain. Based on 21 st June at 13:00, it was found that the RPSC system in urban canyon domain was 15 on average 36.08% more effective in thermal collection and provided on average 27.11% more 16 surface temperature reduction as compared to the RSPC application in rural/flat domain. The RPSC 17 performance based on the effect from daily solar intensity was initiated with results demonstrated the 18 efficiency of the RPSC in an urban setting was 7.14% to 63.26% more than the rural/flat setting. 19Simulations of various wind speeds in summer day(s) and the impact of seasonal changes to the RPSC 20 system were also conducted to investigate the deficiency factors to the system.
