In this paper we analyze the performances of three different energy harvester configurations aimed at transforming vibration energy from a vehicle transited bridge. First of all we sampled the vibrations of a highway bridge in three different positions: at the entrance, in the middle and at the exit. Then, from the sampled time series, we reproduced the vibrations in the lab and tested the different harvesting configurations: low frequency linear piezoelectric energy harvester; high frequency linear piezoelectric energy harvester; non-linear bi-stable broadband piezoelectric energy harvester. The results are presented in terms of the RMS power converted. All the harvesters were built with the same piezoelectric material: composition and size were always the same.
