Abstract
Energy technology and management is one of the most challenging problems of today’s world. Continuous use of
natural reservoir increases global warming and earth’s average temperature as world energy consumption will rise
up to 50% by 2030. Currently, Pakistan has a short fall of approximately 4000 to 5000MW and the country urgently
requires solution to ongoing energy problems, especially solutions which help to protect our environment. There are
many techniques and approaches available to combat energy crisis; one relatively less explored approach is to exploit
kinetic energy of vehicles on our road network. This paper presents an approach to exploiting kinetic energy of
vehicles to generate useful energy. A model based on kinetic energy simulation is presented and discussed in this
study; kinetic energy is extracted from speed breakers commonly found on our road network.
