... The world's growing population, rapid urbanization, and the continuous development of technology require the implementation of an intelligent management system for street lighting to make cities smart according to the smart city model [1]. Furthermore, intelligent street light systems, also known as smart street lighting, are becoming increasingly relevant as cities around the world look for ways to reduce energy consumption and costs [2], [3]. Generally speaking, the research and investment in intelligent street light systems have come a long way in recent years [4]. ...
In the contemporary world, science and technology are advancing swiftly to meet the growing human need for electricity. Within this framework, street lighting, serving as the most vital and ubiquitous element of urban lighting infrastructure, contributes significantly to public electricity consumption. Hence, enhancing the operational efficiency of street lamps becomes imperative to conserve energy. Nonetheless, traditional street lighting systems, being manually controlled, consuming excessive power, and entailing high installation expenses, present notable drawbacks and concerns. Leveraging the internet of things (IoT), advanced innovations automate various areas, including health monitoring, traffic management, agricultural irrigation, street lights, and classrooms. The current manual operation of street lights leads to substantial global energy waste. To address this, an integrated hardware and software solution is proposed. Practical implementation of the hardware devices employs a wireless sensor network, while the software focuses on developing an IoT application for data storage, analysis, and visualization. The proposed system enables effective monitoring of parameters such as ambient temperature, current, voltage, and energy consumption of photovoltaic street lights, which are used as an indicator of the lamp status. Using Xbee modules, a configuration by the X-CTU software is necessary to communicate between all street lights wirelessly. These Xbee modules are used as a leading technology for wireless sensor networks due to its low power and low cost. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed system is energy-efficient and cost-effective, and further can be implemented in real street light systems.

Street lighting is one of the sectors where off-grid energy systems are used, and in the past decade interest in these systems has increased due to recent developments occurred both in LED and PV technology. An objective of this report is to provide information about LEDs benefits and challenges in road lighting, which will assist the engineers and researchers to develop the LEDs with the standards used for road lighting and its impact on drivers, pedestrians and environment. It also discusses the basis of quantitative recommendations for road lighting; the background to current guidance, the need to revise standards to respond to developments in science and technology.
