With the development of society, the demand for reliable uninterruptible power sources is increasing. At the same time, with the improvement of people’s life and environment protection, the developing of clean, environmental, reliable and inexpensive new energy sources has become a new research hotspot in the world. Highway infrastructure has good potential to develop renewable energy in addition to the transport function. Based on the energy loss caused by the transformation of kinetic energy into potential energy when the vehicle passes through the deceleration strip, a set of green mechanical power generation equipment is designed by introducing compressed air energy storage technology. The design scheme and working principle of the equipment are described and analyzed, and the prototype of the equipment is manufactured. The power generation efficiency of the equipment is tested by loading test, and the design and operation parameters of the equipment are optimized accordingly. The energy generated by 50000 loading tests is 0.123kw·h, which preliminarily realizes the development and utilization of potential road energy.
