Abstract The anti‐glare panels along highways can block the dazzling lights of opposing vehicles at night, playing an important role in highway safety. Inspired by panels, wind energy harvesting triboelectric nanogenerator (AG‐TENG) arrays to properly capture from moving is developed. A single AG‐TENG installation module achieve a high power density 0.2 Wm −2 speed 3 m s −1 . This too low drive conventional equipment. performance shows no degradation after 80 h continuous operation (1 440 000 times). Thus, with rational consideration and features, system generate enough internet things (IoT) devices environmental sensors, as well offer wireless alarming radio frequency identification vehicle monitoring. study provides promising strategy harvest on using existing infrastructures under condition even natural wind, showing broad application prospects distributed monitoring, intelligent highways, IoT.
