Development status of a smart lighting system in urban streets

With the ongoing evolution of wired/wireless communication technologies and the steady improvement of living standards, the concept of the smart lighting system has transitioned continuously from a mere ideal to a tangible reality. This paper introduces the current development status of urban smart lighting systems around the world. Furthermore, it explores the popular detection technology of movement and light, as well as the progression of wired/wireless communication technologies, comparing their merits and drawbacks and imagining the development of urban smart street lamps. In light of the evidence presented and the potential benefits of the technology, this paper suggests that urban planners and relevant authorities consider the adoption of urban smart street lamps as a viable solution to enhance energy efficiency, safety, and technological advancement in city infrastructure.
