Abstract
The growing usage of vehicles has led to an increase in emission pollution which has resulted in the need for more sustainable power sources. While this growth in vehicular use is damaging to some resources, this design research assesses the wind generated by vehicular traffic and the possibility of it being harnessed to create a sustainable power source. The need for clean renewable energy sources is particularly important near a coastal environment for economic, social, environmental, and sustainability purposes. Furthermore, the goal of this design research is to determine if vehicular traffic along with natural coastal winds will generate enough energy to power utility lights at certain points throughout a highway. Through detailed research, the most effective design will incorporate modern technology and knowledge to fulfill this challenge of mimicking natural occurrences for the benefit of a coastal environment along a Long Island roadway.
