Abstract

Smart cities and intelligent technologies are changing and modernizing civilization. Population growth demands the development of intelligent infrastructure for sustainable life. With the proliferation of urban into metropolitan, the utility of street lights has increased substantially, leading to high energy demand. The conventional street lighting system consumes much energy compared to the intelligent lighting system. Many studies have proposed different street lighting systems for energy saving and reduced financial burden. Light Emitting Diode (LED) was initially employed in street lighting systems to reduce power consumption. Innovative technologies with the LED street lighting system have enhanced the potential to conserve more energy. In this paper, an adaptive part-night lighting system and traffic-aware street lighting system have been proposed and implemented on the university campus. Two types of traffic-aware systems, GPS sensors, are discussed and compared with different lighting systems, whereas PIR sensor street lighting system is implemented in the testbed. These systems control the illumination of LED streetlights upon detection of vehicles and pedestrians. Power consumption, economic accountability, and environmental impact caused by various street lighting systems have been discussed to endeavor sustainable utility. Cost analysis and power consumption analysis have been carried out for six months. In addition, the installation cost of LED streetlights and various intelligent street lighting systems have been compared for future projects. Compared to the conventional lighting system, the total cost saving of 96% can be achieved by using traffic-aware smart LED and emission of \({CO}_{2}\) can be reduced by 96.24%. The smart street lighting system is eco-friendly and could provide a better-quality lighting system in the city.
