IoT using Smart Street Light System

Abstract

Street Lights. They are a part of our everyday life, so much so, that we don’t even notice or acknowledge them sometimes. The only two things most people know about street lights is that during the night they light our sidewalks and roads and during the day they are shut off and unused. We may not look at or notice streetlights in our daily endeavors, however, as innovation speeds up, smart cities rise, and the growing need for energy efficient solutions increases, new technologies are enabling street lights to look at us and notice our movements and location. Modern street lighting systems are being asked to do more than ever before. In addition to fulfilling their primary purpose of casting light onto dark roadways, parking areas, and public spaces, these lighting systems are increasingly evaluated for how well they reduce energy consumption, improve safety for both pedestrians and drivers, and serve as the foundation for a range of Internet of Things applications, This smart system is best suited for street lighting in remote urban and rural areas where the traffic is very low.
