Many strategies and methodologies toward the reduction of environmental and energy loads have been developed, and they are under trials in various industries. In this study, a co-generation device is proposed aiming at reducing the energy loads of highway tunnel facilities. The device generates electricity through the flat-panel vibration caused by the aerodynamic forces due to the wind fluctuations of which the vehicles passing in front of the device induce. The characteristics of the vehicle-induced wind fluctuations and the wind-response characteristics of the device are investigated with field measurements.
