TL;DR: A smart street light system, whose concept is proposed by Fujii et al, consists of LED lights, brightness sensors, motion sensors and short-distance communication networks that behaves like usual street lights that turn on all night.
Abstract: Currently, in the whole world, enormous electric energy is consumed by the street lights, which are automatically turn on when it becomes dark and automatically turn off when it becomes bright. This is the huge waste of energy in the whole world and should be changed. This paper discusses a smart street light system, whose concept is proposed by Fujii et al. The main aim of smart street light systems is that lights turn on when needed and light turn off when not needed. Moreover, the smart street light system in this paper behaves like usual street lights that turn on all night. The ideal behavior of the smart street light system is that no one finds turn-off of street lights at night. Whenever someone see street lights, they turn on and whenever no one see street lights, they turn off. The smart street light system consists of LED lights, brightness sensors, motion sensors and short-distance communication networks. The lights turn on before pedestrians and vehicles come and turn off or reduce brightness when there is no one. It will be difficult for pedestrians and drivers of vehicles to distinguish our smart street lights and the conventional street lights because our street lights all turn on before they come.

TL;DR: The smart embedded system which controls the street lights based on detection of vehicles or any other obstacles on the street will get automatically ON/OFF according to the obstacle detection and the same information can be accessed through the internet.
Abstract: This project aims for designing and executing the advanced development in embedded systems for energy saving of street lights. Currently, we have a manual system where the street lights will be switched ON in the evening before the sunsets and they are switched OFF in the next day morning after there is sufficient light on the outside[1]. But the actual timing for these lights to be switched ON is when there is absolute darkness. With this, the power will be wasted up to some extent. This project gives solution for electrical power wastage [2]. Also, the manual operation of the lighting system is completely eliminated. The proposed system provides a solution for energy saving. This is achieved by sensing and approaching a vehicle using an IR transmitter and IR Receiver couple. Upon sensing the movement the sensor transmits the data to the microcontroller which furthermore the Light to switch ON [4]. Similarly, as soon as the vehicle or an obstacle goes away the Light gets switched OFF as the sensor senses an object at the same time the status(ON/OFF) of the street light can be accessed from anywhere and anytime through the internet. This project is implemented with the smart embedded system which controls the street lights based on detection of vehicles or any other obstacles on the street.W he never the obstacle is detected on the street within the specified time the light will get automatically ON/OFF according to the obstacle detection and the same information can be accessed through the internet. The real-time information of the street light(ON/OFF Status) can be accessed from any time, anywhere through internet.

TL;DR: In this article, a monitoring apparatus is included in each street light of a plurality of street lights and data is sent from each monitoring apparatus to a monitoring station via the power supply cables connected to the street lamps under control of the monitoring station.
Abstract: A monitoring apparatus is included in each street light of a plurality of street lights. Each monitoring apparatus monitors the operation of the associated street lamp and stores data representing the operation thereof. Data is sent from each monitoring apparatus to a monitoring station, via the power supply cables connected to the street lamps, under control of the monitoring station. The monitoring station stores the data until it is requested to transfer the data to an interrogating station. The data is then analysed to identify faulty street lights.

The lights turn on before pedestrians and vehicles come and turn off or reduce power when there is no one. It will be difficult for pedestrians and drivers of vehicles to distinguish our smart street lamps and the conventional street lights, since our street lamps all turn on before they come. The present status and the future prospects of our smart start light project will be reviewed.

TL;DR: The proposed dynamic light control solution permits an energy saving of about 56% compared to classical static, time-based street light control, and speeds up the integration of sensors and actuators to Internet of Things platforms.
Abstract: This paper presents a real-world proven solution for dynamic street light control and management which relies on an open and flexible Internet of Things architecture. Substantial contribution is brought at the interoperability level using novel device connection concept based on model-driven communication agents to speed up the integration of sensors and actuators to Internet of Things platforms. The paper shows also results from real-world tests with deployed dynamic street lights in urban spaces. The proposed dynamic light control solution permits an energy saving of about 56% compared to classical static, time-based street light control.
