This research aims to explore the feasibility of utilizing thermoelectric technology with asphalt pavement materials as a renewable energy source in the future. The study also investigates the thermal conductivity properties of asphalt when mixed with various composite materials. Steel fibers and graphite were added to the pavement materials following the standards set by the Department of Highways of Thailand. Simulations of road conditions were conducted to replicate both daytime and nighttime environments. Temperature data were collected at different intervals. The analysis revealed that adding 1% graphite to the mixture provided the best heat retention properties, while increasing the steel fiber content improved heat storage capacity, although it is advisable not to exceed 2% due to marginal differences in heat retention. The study demonstrated the potential of asphalt pavement material for energy generation through thermoelectric technology. However, the actual energy output obtained was relatively low, indicating the need for further advancements in thermoelectric generators to enhance efficiency for practical real-world applications.
