Energy Saving And Safety Street Lighting System

Today, vast amounts of energy are required to power streetlights. Also, the death caused by accidents due to the blockage of the vehicle on the road is increasing especially on the highway. Thus, this paper aims to assemble an intelligent system that implies an automatic switch for detecting vehicle passage with keeping the existing system. Besides, this system uses solar energy to generate free electric energy through the natural resource that our country has gifted sunlight. Besides building an energy-saving system, a safety feature is also one of the aspects considered. This is done by utilising the sensors inserted in the streetlight system and a collaboration between the hardware and coding. By having this safety feature, any blockage due to a car crash or vehicles' break happening at a certain distance in front will activate the hazard warning function in the system while sending a notification to the streetlight management department. This gives the drivers enough time to slow down the vehicles instead of on-the-spot emergency breaks. On the one hand, this system lowers the electricity consumption and increases the safety of the road system.
