Abstract
In recent years, the rapid development of intelligent transportation system (ITS) brings a safe and convenient life for human. However, the external power supply with a limited lifespan still represents a major technical bottleneck for the further development of its wireless sensors. Fortunately, TENGs can not only collect the energy of the environment during the operation of the mode of transport to power a large number of randomly distributed sensors but also act as active sensors to realize self-powered monitoring. This part systematically concluded the development of TENGs for self-powered technologies in land-, water-, and air-ITS, such as automobiles, trains, ships, and airplanes, as well as bridges, tunnels, highways, and tracks. At the same time, some significant achievements are summarized. Finally, the perspectives and remaining challenges for further self-powered ITS development are discussed.
