An automatic street light control system is a system that saves energy more efficiently than traditional street lights. An automatic street light control system employs advanced automation technology to light the road. Because earlier street light systems waste 30–40 per cent of energy at night, the key objective of this system is to identify the amount of energy used and reduce the wastage of electricity when a vehicle passes along the road.
The key benefits are:
- huge reduction of energy and maintenance cost.
- increased public safety from improved lighting.
- safer traffic due to increased visibility of hazards.
- measurable environmental impact due to reduced energy consumption.
