Abstract
Road accidents are a principal cause of demises, detriments and property damage every year. The fatal crashes are the primary reason for death among young people aged between 5 and 29 years. Road fatalities can be minimized by using smart street lights. This paper reviews the existing street light systems, including solar energy, light detection and motion detection systems. Furthermore, this paper proposes a system to detect and prevent road accidents and improve post-crash care using smart street lights. In case of an accident, the proposed system immediately assists in sending a message to the emergency services using GSM module and changing the colour of the street light LED to red, which acts as a warning signal for the vehicles approaching from behind on the road. The system uses solar energy to power the connected LED. Hence, this makes the system energy-efficient also.
