EAGER: Sustainable Energy Bike Lanes with Applications in the City of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

Project: Research

Project Details

Project Description

A green and sustainable Energy Generating Pad (EGP) has been developed by the Smart Center at Prairie View A&M University, U.S.A. This technology is designed to provide an alternative energy source for lightweight transportation, in particular bicycles. The goal of the EGP is to provide a sustainable source of energy for transportation that is accessible and easy to implement. It is made using a combination of polyester and micro-fleece fabrics, which are coated with a mixture of acrylic and adhesive fluids. This coating allows the EGP to generate electricity as it is pressed by pedestrians or bicycles. By using the EGP, individuals can generate electricity while they ride their bike, which can then be used to recharge an e-bike or other electronic devices such as: laptop, mobile phones, power bank, portable water kiosk etc. The EGP is easily implementable in almost every place in the world and can be a sustainable solution for the energy needs of smart community as well as urban society. In this project, we intend to construct a prototype of the EGP, and deploy it at a suitable location at Monash University Malaysia, and to evaluate its performance.

Note: Prairie View A&M University is the main project leader for this fund application. Monash University Malaysia only apply as one of the collaborators.

A Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) is required for above application. 
Prairie View A&M University is waiting for the MoU to show MUM as the research collaborator.
