Description:FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[0001] The present invention relates to a road lighting management system that provides consistent road illumination for safe commuting under low visibility conditions and adjusts the lighting based on environmental factors to conserve energy and maintain effective visibility.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0002] Effective road lighting management is crucial for ensuring public safety, energy efficiency, and environmental sustainability. Adequate lighting on roads enhances visibility for both drivers and pedestrians, reducing the likelihood of accidents and improving the overall safety of transportation networks, especially during nighttime or adverse weather conditions. Properly designed and maintained lighting systems help in preventing road-related fatalities and injuries by making roads more visible and reducing the chances of collisions with obstacles, pedestrians, or other vehicles. In addition to safety, road lighting management plays a significant role in energy efficiency. By using technologies like LED lights, which consume less energy and have a longer lifespan, municipalities drastically reduce electricity consumption and lower maintenance costs.

[0003] Smart lighting systems, which adjust brightness based on traffic flow or environmental conditions, further optimize energy usage, leading to cost savings and reducing the environmental footprint. Moreover, effective road lighting management also have a positive impact on crime prevention, as well-lit areas are less likely to attract criminal activity. Beyond the functional benefits, well-lit streets also contribute to a city’s aesthetic appeal, improving the quality of life for residents and visitors. Road lighting systems, however, require ongoing maintenance to ensure their optimal performance. Regular checks for bulb replacements, cleaning of lights, and timely repairs are essential to avoid service interruptions and maintain safety standards. Managing road lights is not just about illuminating streets but involves optimizing resources, improving public safety, enhancing quality of life, and contributing to sustainable urban development.

[0004] Traditional road lighting management typically relies on fixed, uniform lighting systems that operate at full power throughout the night, regardless of actual traffic or environmental conditions. This approach often uses outdated lighting technologies such as sodium vapor or halogen lamps, which are energy-inefficient and have shorter lifespans. One significant drawback of traditional road lighting is its high energy consumption. Since these systems run at full capacity, even during off-peak hours when traffic is minimal, they lead to unnecessary energy waste and increased operational costs. The lights often provide excessive illumination in areas with little or no traffic, contributing to light pollution and negatively affecting the surrounding environment and biodiversity. Traditional systems also lack the flexibility to adapt to changing conditions, such as variations in weather or traffic patterns. This result in either inadequate lighting in certain areas or unnecessary brightness in others.

[0005] Maintenance of traditional lighting systems is costly and labor-intensive, as they require manual inspection, bulb replacement, and repairs. These systems also tend to be less reliable, with frequent outages or failures that go unnoticed for extended periods, compromising safety. Moreover, older technologies, such as sodium vapor lamps, produce light that distorts colors and reduces visibility, which is problematic for both drivers and pedestrians. Traditional road lighting systems often lack the integration of smart technologies which help optimize energy use and improve safety by adjusting lighting levels in real-time based on traffic flow or environmental conditions. The main drawbacks of traditional road lighting are inefficiency, high costs, maintenance challenges, and environmental impact, all of which is mitigated through the adoption of modern, smart lighting solutions.

The standard is root mounted at its lower end and supports a lamp and a solar panel. An illumination circuit is mounted in the base compartment and connects a battery to the lamp for control of the lamp. A charging circuit connects the battery to the solar panel and to an electricity connection for charging. A control circuit inside the base compartment controls the brightness. he electricity connection extends from the root portion of the standard for connection of the light to an AC electricity supply. The charging circuit is programmed to connect the battery to the electricity supply at low electricity tariff times and to disconnect the battery from the mains before high electricity tariff times. The charging circuit is programmed to connect the battery to the solar panel for charging during daylight.

A streetlight controller for a streetlight includes a microcontroller; a first sensor to sense a light level from a lamp within the streetlight; a second sensor operative to sense a voltage level on a power supply for the streetlight; and a switching network coupled with the microcontroller and operative to adjust the light level of the lamp. Methods includes monitoring a light level and voltage level and adjusting a light level, estimating power consumption, or facilitating maintenance in accordance with the light level and voltage level. The methods may be performed all or in part at a streetlight, a local gateway or a central controller and database

[0008] Conventionally, many methods are available for managing the road lights efficiently. However, the cited invention lacks in terms of flexibility, efficiency, and adaptability. Both mentioned prior arts primarily rely on predefined charging and lighting control schemes, such as fixed charging times based on electricity tariffs or basic adjustments to light output based on light and voltage levels. However, these arts lack the ability to dynamically respond to real-time environmental changes, such as varying traffic volumes, weather conditions, or unforeseen visibility issues, which are critical for maintaining optimal lighting and safety on the road.

[0009] In order to overcome the aforementioned drawbacks, there exists a need in the art to develop a system that requires to be capable of dynamically responding to real-time conditions such as traffic flow, weather changes, and varying road visibility. The developed system should not only adjust lighting levels based on static parameters but also incorporate methods to optimize illumination, ensuring energy efficiency and enhanced safety throughout the day and night. Such a system needs to be capable of detecting and responding to immediate changes in environmental factors, such as fog, rain, or accidents, and adjusting lighting accordingly to maintain optimal road visibility.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0025] As used herein, the singular forms “a,” “an,” and “the” designate both the singular and the plural, unless expressly stated to designate the singular only.

[0026] The present invention relates to a road lighting management system that is capable of improving safety in adverse conditions, while automatic cleaning mechanisms ensure the lights operate at their highest performance, preventing reduced visibility and safety risks while commutation on road.

[0027] Referring to Figure 1, an isometric view of a road lighting management system is illustrated, comprising plurality of telescopically operated elongated frames 101 arranged at a side of a road at equal distance from each other and each installed with a circular plate 102 equipped with plurality of LED (Light Emitting Diode) lights 103, an artificial intelligence-based imaging unit 104 mounted on each of the frames 101, a motorized slider 105 configured between the frames 101 and plates 102, a motorized roller 106 configured with each of the frames 101 for rotating to unwrap a radium sheet 107 around the frames 101, a holographic projection unit 108 mounted on each of the frames 101, an L-shaped telescopically operated link 109 configured with each of the frames 101 to extend for positioning a motorized circular member 110 equipped with the bristles 111 in front of the plate 102, a ring 116 equipped with plurality of reflectors 112 arranged with each of the plate 102, plurality of motorized hinges 113 configured between the ring 116and reflectors 112 and an electronic valve 114 configured with a chamber 115 stored with each of the frames 101.

[0028] The system disclosed herein includes plurality of telescopically operated elongated frames 101 that are placed along the side of the road at equal intervals to provide continuous road lighting. These frames 101 are developed to be adjustable in length, allowing for the optimization of lighting conditions based on environmental factors such as traffic density, weather, and time of day. The frames 101 are telescopic so that they extend or retract in height in view of effectively altering the positioning of frames 101.

[0029] Each of these telescopic frames 101 is equipped with a circular plate 102 that supports a plurality of LED lights 103. These LED lights 103 are responsible for illuminating the road at night or in low-visibility conditions for maintaining an optimum light intensity for safe commuting. The circular plate 102 acts as a platform for holding the LED lights 103 in a fixed or adjustable configuration, with each light being oriented to provide maximum coverage and visibility. The arrangement of the lights 103 is developed to ensure that the road receives uniform and adequate lighting, thus reducing any dark spots and thereby enhancing safety for both drivers and pedestrians. The LED lights 103 are selected for their energy efficiency, long lifespan, and high-intensity output, making them an ideal choice for road lighting.

[0030] The frames 101 are powered by pneumatic unit which comprises of an air compressor, air cylinder, air valves, and a piston, all of which work in collaboration to enable precise movement of the frames 101. The air compressor generates compressed air, which is stored in a reservoir and supplied to the frames 101 when needed. This compressed air is directed into the air cylinder, where it acts on a piston inside the cylinder. The piston moves in response to the pressurized air, creating linear motion that extends or retracts the telescopic frames 101. Air valves are positioned to regulate the flow of compressed air into and out of the air cylinder. These valves are controlled electronically by the system’s microcontroller, ensuring that the pneumatic unit responds quickly and accurately to changes in road conditions, such as varying traffic density or visibility. By controlling the air pressure, the valves determine the direction and speed of the piston’s movement, thus allowing for the smooth extension and retraction of the frames 101.

[0031] An LDR (Light Dependent Resistor) mounted on each of the frames 101 to continuously monitor the intensity of light in the surrounding environment. LDRs resistance changes based on the amount of light falling on them as the light intensity increases, the resistance decreases, and as the light intensity decreases, the resistance increases. The LDR is utilized to provide real-time data regarding the surrounding light conditions, which is crucial for regulating the road lighting system to ensure optimum visibility at all times.

[0032] Each LDR is positioned on the frames 101 to measure the ambient light at different points along the road. An inbuilt microcontroller which serves as the central processing unit of the system, is linked to these LDRs and continuously receives the data they provide. The microcontroller uses the resistance values from the LDRs to calculate the current light intensity in the area. Based on this information, the microcontroller then adjusts the intensity of the LED lights 103 mounted on the circular plates 102 attached to the telescopic frames 101 in order to maintain a consistent and appropriate level of illumination on the road for commuters, regardless of changing environmental factors such as daylight, cloud cover, or weather conditions. For example, as the evening sets in and natural light decreases, the microcontroller automatically increase the brightness of the LED lights 103 to maintain optimal road visibility. Conversely, during the day or in well-lit conditions, the system dim or even turn off the lights 103 to conserve energy in view of ensuring that the road lighting is both efficient and effective.

[0033] The microcontroller mentioned herein is wirelessly connected to a computing unit via a communication module. This module supports various wireless communication protocols such as Wi-Fi (Wireless Fidelity), Bluetooth, and GSM (Global System for Mobile Communication). The Wi-Fi module allows the microcontroller to communicate with the computing unit over a local network, enabling remote access and control via a web interface or dedicated application. Wi-Fi connectivity makes easy for authorities or administrators to monitor the system’s performance and make adjustments as needed from a central location.

[0034] On the other hand, Bluetooth while not typically used for long-range communication, but facilitates communication with nearby systems, such as maintenance equipment or localized control systems. Bluetooth is used for troubleshooting, diagnostics, or for managing individual lighting units in close proximity, providing added flexibility for local control and GSM module provides cellular connectivity, allowing the system to send alerts and receive commands via mobile networks. In case of an emergency, such as a system failure or detected accident, the system immediately sends SMS alerts or even relay data to a monitoring authority. The GSM functionality also ensures that the system continue to operate even in remote areas where Wi-Fi or Bluetooth connectivity is feasible, thus making this an essential feature for large-scale or rural installations. Through this, the lighting conditions on the road are monitored and adjusted in real-time from any remote location, providing convenience and a higher level of control. The use of wireless communication ensures that the system is easily integrated with other smart city infrastructure, creating a more cohesive and automated urban management solution.

[0035] An artificial intelligence-based imaging unit 104 paired with a processor is mounted on each of the telescopic frames 101 to enhance the efficiency and precision of the road lighting. The imaging unit 104 is developed to monitor and analyze the illumination coverage provided by the LED lights 103 on the road, ensuring that the lighting is uniformly distributed and effective for optimal visibility. The imaging unit 104 uses AI protocol to continuously detect and assess the illuminated area, allowing the system to make real-time adjustments to the frames 101, LED plates 102, and lighting distribution based on actual environmental conditions.

[0036] The artificial intelligence (AI) is particularly important because this allows the system to learn and adapt to varying conditions without requiring constant manual intervention. The AI unit is equipped with a camera capable of capturing images or data regarding the areas of the road illuminated by the LED lights 103. This imaging data is then analyzed by the processor to assess how well the lights 103 are covering the road surface, detecting any areas where lighting is insufficient, poorly directed, or unevenly spread. Using this analysis, the AI determine whether the system needs to adjust the position of the telescopic frames 101 or the orientation of the LED light plates 102 to ensure uniform and maximum coverage.

[0037] Once the imaging unit 104 detects the lighting coverage area, the imaging unit 104 sends the processed data to the microcontroller which is responsible for making real-time decisions based on the input. If the AI determines that a section of the road is inadequately illuminated or that the lighting intensity is inconsistent, the microcontroller actuate the telescopic frames 101 to extend or retract. The movement of these frames 101 allows the lighting setup to be repositioned dynamically, which is essential in adjusting the lighting distribution as road conditions or traffic patterns change. For example, if a portion of the road is found to be shadowed due to a vehicle or an obstacle, the system extends the frames 101 to reposition the LED lights 103 and enhance visibility in that specific area.

[0038] In addition to adjusting the height or position of the frames 101, the frames 101 are equipped with a motorized slider 105 that is configured between the telescopic frames 101 and the circular LED plates 102. The motorized slider 105 works in conjunction with the telescopic frames 101, providing the ability to translate horizontally and reposition the LED plates 102 at the most suitable location on the frames 101. The motorized slider 105 adjust the position of the plates 102 along the frames 101, allowing for fine-tuning of the light distribution. For example, if the imaging unit 104 detects that a specific area of the road requires more direct illumination, the plates 102 are translated and positioned accordingly to ensure that the light is directed to the most needed spots. This flexibility maximizes the system’s ability to optimize lighting conditions across the entire road.

[0039] A visibility sensor is mounted on each of the circular plates 102 that house the LED lights 103. The visibility sensor enhances the overall safety of the system as they monitor the surrounding visibility conditions in real-time by detecting and assessing whether the frames 101 and the LED lighting units remain clearly visible to road users, particularly during conditions of low visibility, such as fog, rain, or night-time driving.

[0040] When conditions worsen, such as in dense fog or heavy rain, there is a risk that the frames 101 which are mounted at the side of the road become hard to see. If the lighting frames 101 are not easily visible to drivers or other road users, they pose a collision risk. To address this challenge, the visibility sensors continuously monitor the surrounding light conditions in view of detecting any receding or reduced visibility in the area around each frames 101. These sensors measure factors such as ambient light levels, changes in the surrounding environment, or obstructions that block or obscure the frames 101 from view.

[0041] Once the visibility sensors detect that the surrounding visibility has fallen below a predefined threshold limit, thus indicating that the frames 101 are no longer easily visible to approaching vehicles or pedestrians, the system triggers an automatic response to increase the visibility of the frames 101. The microcontroller processes the data received from the visibility sensors and determines whether action is needed to enhance visibility. If the microcontroller confirms that visibility has diminished beyond an acceptable level, the microcontroller sends a signal to activate a motorized roller 106 that is mounted on each of the frames 101.

[0042] The motorized roller 106 is developed to rotate and mechanically unwrap a radium sheet 107 which a highly reflective material around the telescopic frames 101. Radium sheet 107 are commonly known as reflective sheet 107 or retroreflective materials that are known for their ability to reflect light back to its source, which increases the visibility of objects in low-light or low-visibility conditions. When the motorized roller 106 is activated, it unrolls and stretches the radium sheet 107 around the exterior of the frames 101, creating a visible, high-contrast reflective surface. The retroreflective properties of the radium sheet 107 ensure that even in poor visibility conditions, such as thick fog, rain, or at night, the frames 101 remain visible to oncoming traffic. The reflective material helps drivers and other road users recognize the presence of the lighting structures from a distance, minimizing the risk of collision.

[0043] The motorized roller 106 is specifically developed to operate smoothly and efficiently in a manner that does not disrupt the function of the frames 101 or the LED lighting itself. The unrolling of the radium sheet 107 is controlled by the microcontroller, which ensures that the sheet 107 is applied only when necessary, i.e., when visibility reaches the threshold limit. Once the weather conditions improve, and visibility returns to acceptable levels, the system retract the radium sheet 107, rolling it back into a compact form on the motorized roller 106. This allows the system to maintain the aesthetic and operational integrity of the frames 101, only using the reflective sheet 107 when necessary, and ensuring that the lighting units do not appear overly cumbersome or bulky when visibility is adequate.

[0044] A holographic projection unit 108 is mounted on each of the telescopic frames 101 to enhance visibility and communication with road users, particularly in scenarios where visibility changes rapidly or where there is a need to warn commuters of potential hazards. This cutting-edge feature is developed to provide dynamic visual cues to commuters traveling along the road, allowing the system to actively inform them about changing conditions in real-time. the microcontroller, which is connected to the visibility sensors integrated into each frames 101. The visibility sensors are responsible for continuously monitoring the surrounding environment to detect fluctuations in visibility, such as the onset of fog, heavy rain, or the transition from daylight to night. As the visibility data from the sensors is fed into the microcontroller, the system assesses whether the visibility around the lighting unit has fallen below a certain threshold that require intervention. If the sensors detect that visibility has decreased near a particular frames 101, the microcontroller immediately activates the holographic projection unit 108 to issue a visual alert.

[0045] The holographic projection unit 108 is capable of projecting 3D holographic images or symbols into the air in view of creating a highly visible and attention-grabbing display. These projections are developed to convey important messages or warnings to the commuters traveling on the road, such as a reduction in visibility ahead or an indication that road conditions have changed. The use of holographic projections is particularly effective in capturing the attention of drivers and pedestrians as the projections appear to float in mid-air, making them more noticeable than traditional static road signs or lighting alerts.

[0046] A voltage sensor paired with each LED light is installed on the telescopically operated frames 101. This voltage sensor is important in maintaining the proper functioning of the LED lights 103 by continuously monitoring the voltage supplied to the lights 103. The LED lights 103 which serve as the primary source of illumination, require a consistent and stable voltage supply to operate efficiently and maintain the desired light intensity on the road. However, over time, various factors such as dust accumulation, environmental conditions, or wear and tear lead to a gradual decrease in the intensity of the LED lights 103 even though the voltage supplied remains the same.

[0047] The microcontroller of the system is connected to both the voltage sensor and the Light Dependent Resistor (LDR). The LDR is responsible for measuring the actual intensity of light emitted by the LED lights 103. When the microcontroller receives input from the LDR, it compares the detected light intensity with the expected or optimal levels. If the microcontroller determines that the intensity of the LED lights 103 has decreased, but no corresponding drop in the supplied voltage is detected by the voltage sensor, this indicates that the decrease in light output is likely due to external factors, such as dirt or debris accumulating on the LED lights 103.

[0048] In such a scenario, where there is a discrepancy between the expected light intensity and the voltage supply, the microcontroller triggers an automatic cleaning mechanism developed to restore the LED lights 103 to their full brightness. The frames 101 are integrated with an L-shaped telescopically operated link 109 that serves as a mechanical arm that extend or retract based on the command from the microcontroller. When a decrease in light intensity is detected, the microcontroller commands the L-shaped link 109 to extend outward from its rest position, positioning a motorized circular member 110 equipped in front of the LED lights plates 102.

[0049] The motorized circular member 110 is developed to rotate and is equipped with a series of bristles 111 arranged in a circular pattern. These bristles 111are made from materials that are effective at cleaning the surface of the LED lights 103 without causing damage. As the motorized circular member 110 rotates, the bristles 111 move across the surface of the LED lights 103, removing accumulated dust, dirt, or any other form of contamination that may have reduced the light intensity. The bristle’s movement is both gentle and efficient, ensuring that the LED lights 103 are thoroughly cleaned without compromising their structural integrity or light-emitting performance

[0050] This cleaning process is essential because dust, dirt, or other environmental debris significantly affect the light output of LED lights 103, especially in outdoor settings where the lighting are exposed to weather conditions. Over time, without proper maintenance, the performance of the LED lights 103 deteriorate that leads to reduced visibility on the road. The cleaning mechanism ensures that the system maintain consistent lighting levels which is particularly important for ensuring optimal safety and visibility on the road, especially during nighttime driving or adverse weather conditions like fog or rain.

[0051] Once the cleaning process is complete and the light intensity is restored, the microcontroller retracts the L-shaped telescopically operated link 109, moving the motorized circular member 110 back into its original position, thus ensuring that the system remains compact and unobtrusive. The lights 103 are now restored to their maximum brightness, and the system continues to monitor the performance of the LED lights 103 to ensure consistent illumination.

[0052] A ring 116 is mounted around each LED plate 102 and is equipped with a plurality of reflectors 112 for optimizing the distribution of light on the road, ensuring that the maximum amount of light from the LED lights 103 is directed where it is needed most. These reflectors 112 are specifically developed to enhance the efficiency of the LED lights 103 by redirecting light that otherwise scatter in less useful directions, thereby improving overall illumination on the road surface. The ring 116 itself is integrated with the lighting frames 101 and able to adjust to real-time lighting conditions.

[0053] By evaluating these lighting conditions, the microcontroller determines whether the current lighting setup is optimal or whether adjustments are needed to maximize the efficiency of the LED lights 103 in view of ensuring that their light is not wasted and is directed to areas where it is needed most, such as on lanes, intersections, or areas with poor visibility.

[0054] Each reflector is mounted on a motorized hinge, which allows the reflector to rotate or tilt to a specific angle, based on the command given by the microcontroller. When the microcontroller analyzes the road's lighting conditions and determines that the reflectors 112 need to be repositioned for better light distribution, the microcontroller activates the motorized hinges 113. These hinges 113 move the reflectors 112 to the optimal angle in view of ensuring that the light from the LED lights 103 is reflected and focused on the desired road areas, thereby increasing visibility and reducing light wastage.

[0055] For example, if the lighting conditions on the road are suboptimal due to factors like the time of day, weather conditions, or even the movement of traffic such as when a vehicle obscures the light, the microcontroller adjust the reflectors 112 to better direct light towards areas of the road that require it the most. For example, if there is a section of the road with insufficient light or shadowed areas, the microcontroller commands the reflectors 112 to tilt towards that area for ensuring that additional light is directed toward it. This adjustment is particularly useful in areas that are prone to temporary reductions in visibility, such as intersections, pedestrian crossings, or bends in the road.

[0056] The reflector’s adjustable angles are essential for ensuring that light is not only effectively distributed but also efficiently focused on specific zones of the road which vary based on time of day, weather conditions, or traffic flow. For example, during nighttime or in foggy conditions, the reflector ring 116 repositioned to reflect light at a higher angle, thus increasing the road surface's illumination and improving safety for commuters. In contrast, during daylight hours or in clear weather conditions, the reflectors 112 are adjusted to minimize unnecessary light scattering, thus saving energy and ensuring the system operates efficiently.

[0057] Herein, the visibility sensor on each frames 101 is responsible for monitoring the surrounding visibility conditions in real time. When the system detects a reduction in visibility beyond a predefined threshold such as in the event of fog, mist, or other atmospheric conditions that impair clear sight, the microcontroller triggers a response to improve the visibility. Specifically, the microcontroller actuates an electronic valve 114 that is configured with a chamber 115 stored within each lighting frames 101. This chamber 115 contains calcium chloride powder, a substance known for its hygroscopic properties, which has the ability to absorb moisture from the air. When activated, the electronic valve 114 releases a controlled amount of calcium chloride powder into the surrounding air near the frames 101. The calcium chloride absorbs water vapor from the fog or mist, effectively reducing the moisture content in the air and, in turn, increasing visibility.

[0058] The release of calcium chloride powder is particularly effective in foggy conditions as the powder helps to break down the dense water droplets suspended in the air, thereby improving air clarity and reducing the thickness of the fog. This not only enhances the overall visibility on the road for drivers but also improves the effectiveness of the road lighting by ensuring that the light emitted from the LED lights 103 is not diffused or absorbed by the fog which otherwise drastically reduce the light's reach. By actively improving visibility in such adverse weather conditions, the system contributes to safety by helping drivers maintain clear sightlines and reducing the risk of accidents or collisions due to impaired visibility. The calcium chloride dispensing method works in harmony with the system, thus responding to changing weather conditions to maintain safe, optimal road conditions regardless of environmental challenges.

[0059] In case, the imaging unit 104 detect accidents or unusual events on the road by continuously scanning the area around each lighting frames 101. This includes signs of collision, vehicle stoppage, or any sudden disturbances such as debris or obstructions on the road. The imaging unit 104 processes this data in real time, and if it identifies any potential accident-related events, the microcontroller is immediately alerted.

[0060] Once the microcontroller detects an incident, The microcontroller activates a built-in GPS (Global Positioning System) module that is configured with each frames 101 to determine the real-time location of the detected accident by fetching the GPS coordinates of the frames 101 closest to the scene. This precise location data, which includes latitude and longitude, is crucial for dispatching emergency services to the exact site of the incident. Simultaneously, the microcontroller sends an alert containing this location information along with any relevant details about the accident such as the type of incident, severity, or detected risk to the computing unit that is accessed by the concerned authority such as traffic control centers, emergency response teams, or local police.

[0061] The alert is sent via various communication technologies, including Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or GSM modules, ensuring that the system is capable of notifying the concerned parties even in remote or urban areas with varying connectivity levels. This real-time alert system enables the authorities to respond swiftly, reducing the time required for emergency intervention and improving overall road safety. Moreover, the continuous monitoring of the road and automatic incident detection helps in providing timely assistance which significantly reduce the impact of accidents and improve the response time for emergency teams, ultimately saving lives and preventing further harm.

[0062] Lastly, a battery (not shown in figure) is associated with the system to supply power to electrically powered components which are employed herein. The battery is comprised of a pair of electrodes named as a cathode and an anode. The battery uses a chemical reaction of oxidation/reduction to do work on charge and produce a voltage between their anode and cathode and thus produces electrical energy that is used to do work in the system.

[0063] The present invention works best in the following manner, where multiple telescopically operated frames 101 as disclosed in the invention is installed at equal intervals along the road is equipped with LED lights 103 as disclosed in the proposed invention. The LED lights 103 are dynamically adjusted based on the surrounding light intensity detected by Light Dependent Resistors (LDRs) on each frames 101. The microcontroller processes the data from these sensors and adjusts the LED brightness to maintain ideal visibility for commuters. The artificial intelligence-based imaging unit 104 detects the area illuminated by the lights 103 in view of enabling the frames 101 to extend or retract as needed to ensure uniform light coverage. When visibility decreases as monitored by the visibility sensor due to environmental factors like fog, the system activates the motorized roller 106 to deploy the reflective sheet 107 around the frames 101 or triggers the use of calcium chloride powder to absorb fog and improve visibility. The system also includes the holographic projection unit 108 to warn drivers of changing visibility conditions. If the intensity of the LED lights 103 drops without the corresponding decrease in power supply, the cleaning mechanism is activated to restore brightness and monitor the occurrence of ant accident on the road and alert authorities with the location of the incident using GPS coordinates.
