Conceptual model of a Smart System for Street Light Monitoring and Control

The proposed paper presents a concept and the deployment of an intelligent street lighting system using various open-source software and hardware components. This allows for smart control of the lighting fixture intensity based on traffic measurement data. The main idea is to monitor and control each light fixture from a central location and to implement different algorithms for energy efficiency improvement. The system has proven its stability over a one-month period and has achieved energy savings of 31.6%. It must be noted that this percentage is influenced by traffic patterns, so some fluctuation in energy savings is expected according to the varying load on the streets.
