Wireless sensor network for street lighting control

Automation of street lighting systems is an effective way to reduce energy consumption. Savings are achieved through controlled switching on / off of lights, which simultaneously leads to changes in lighting that are undesirable for pedestrians and drivers, and contradicts current standards. To ensure public safety, lights should be turned on in advance when pedestrians approach or vehicles appear within sight. A street lighting system based on a wireless sensor network is considered as a solution to the problem. The main concept of such a system is to create a wireless network of smart lights that actively interact with each other to predict the approach of pedestrians and transport. In this system, each lamp collects information and participates in the exchange and processing of data to detect approaching objects. The wireless sensor network of lighting fixtures is a distributed, self-organizing network with many sensors and actuators connected to each other via a radio channel.
