Piezoelectricity, or the electricity generated through mechanical stress, can be sustainable for generating renewable energy, especially in high-footfall areas like train stations. Specially designed tiles, also called piezoelectric tiles, are used to generate electricity through the mechanical stress generated through human footfall. Train station platforms lined with piezoelectric tiles are an excellent idea for transforming the stations into better and more sustainable areas with a constant supply of electricity with such tiles. This thesis offers hypothetical models of piezoelectric tiles that use thermo-piezoelectric design to generate energy with human footsteps. Here, three different models have been discussed to ensure better adaptation depending on the budget and location context. In addition to that, the thesis also offers a possible energy harvesting limit by considering the footfalls of the most populated rail stations across the globe(i.e., Shibuya, Frankfurt, Howrah Junction, etc.). It offers detailed information on the daily energy harvesting capacity alongside the cost of installation and upkeep expenditure. It also offers scope for further development through prototype models and further research for better adaptation of the tiles.
