AROHI: Advanced Road Optimization & Harvesting Intelligence for Sustainable Smart Infrastructure
Year: 2025
Type: study-registration
Abstract: AROHİ is a simulation-based research project that proposes a multilayer smart-road system for harvesting renewable energy and improving traffic efficiency. The design integrates piezoelectric tiles, electromagnetic induction coils, and a nano-silica solar layer beneath the road surface, combined with AI-based Markov prediction for traffic optimization and a lightweight Proof-of-Efficiency (PoE) consensus mechanism for secure data validation. The goal of this project is to evaluate the technical feasibility and potential energy yield of hybrid road-energy systems under realistic traffic scenarios. All results presented are fully simulation-based, with clearly stated assumptions and material constants. A sensitivity analysis explores how traffic volume and component efficiencies affect overall performance. Expected outcomes include: 1. estimated hybrid energy yield with uncertainty, 2. a formal definition of the PoE validation system, and 3. design guidelines for integrating wireless EV charging and storage units. The study involves no human or animal subjects. A laboratory prototype of the piezoelectric layer is planned for future empirical validation. The preprint version is available on Zenodo, and an arXiv submission is currently in progress.
