DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF INVENTION
The proposed methodology for the IoT-based street lighting system integrates Internet of Things (IoT) technology to enhance the efficiency, automation, and intelligence of urban street lighting. In this approach, each streetlight is equipped with IoT-enabled sensors and communication modules that form a connected network linked to a centralized control system. These sensors continuously collect real-time data on ambient light intensity, traffic flow, and pedestrian activity, transmitting it to the central platform for analysis. Based on this data, the system dynamically adjusts streetlight operation—dimming or turning off lights during low-traffic or naturally illuminated periods to conserve energy, or increasing brightness in high-traffic zones or nighttime conditions to ensure safety. The IoT-based infrastructure also supports remote monitoring and management, allowing authorities to access lighting status, detect malfunctions, and schedule maintenance via an interactive interface. This methodology offers significant benefits, including energy savings, reduced operational costs, improved sustainability, and enhanced safety in urban environments.
PROPOSED SYSTEM
The proposed system incorporates a graphical user interface (GUI) for simulation and optimization of streetlight placement along a main street. Input parameters such as street length, interval between lights, and the number of lights ahead are used to visualize and analyze lighting layouts. The simulation displays streetlights as markers on a virtual street, representing real-world LED installations under typical traffic conditions. It compares total power consumption in two scenarios—full illumination versus optimized operation, where only essential lights remain active. This dynamic control approach minimizes unnecessary energy use while maintaining adequate illumination. Using IoT principles, sensors in each streetlight detect environmental and traffic changes, enabling real-time brightness adjustment through centralized communication. The system thus ensures that only necessary lights operate based on prevailing conditions, significantly improving energy efficiency, reducing light pollution, and supporting sustainable smart city development.

System Architecture
The AI-Driven Smart Lighting System consists of the following interconnected components:
1. IoT-Enabled Streetlights:
Each streetlight is equipped with multiple sensors and a communication module. The sensors include:
o Ambient Light Sensors to detect natural light conditions.
o Vehicle Detection Sensors (infrared, ultrasonic, or LiDAR) to identify moving vehicles.
o Pedestrian Motion Sensors to detect foot traffic.
The communication module transmits sensor data to the central control system in real-time.
2. Central Controller/Server:
A cloud-based or locally hosted server that:
o Receives and aggregates data from all streetlights.
o Uses AI and machine learning algorithms to analyze historical and real-time data.
o Determines optimal streetlight intensity and sequencing for each road segment.
o Sends control commands to individual streetlights to adjust brightness or power status.
3. Communication Network:
Streetlights communicate with the central controller via wired or wireless protocols such as Wi-Fi, Zigbee, LoRa, or NB-IoT, enabling real-time monitoring and control.
4. Vehicle and Pedestrian Sensors:
These sensors detect the presence, speed, and movement patterns of vehicles and pedestrians, ensuring lights activate only when needed and allowing sequential illumination.
Operational Method
1. Sensors continuously gather real-time data on ambient light, traffic density, and pedestrian activity.
2. The data is transmitted to the central AI controller.

4. Dynamic Streetlight Adjustment:
o Dimming or turning off lights in low-traffic or naturally illuminated areas.
o Increasing brightness in high-traffic or dark zones to ensure safety.
5. Sequential Activation:
o Only streetlights near vehicles or pedestrians are turned on, while others remain off.
o As the vehicle progresses, lights behind it are dimmed or switched off to save energy, maintaining a continuous, illuminated path ahead.
