This document describes a vehicle movement-based street lighting system that aims to conserve energy. The system uses infrared sensors to detect passing vehicles and then switches on the street lights ahead of the vehicle. Once the vehicle passes, the trailing street lights are switched off. This is more efficient than existing systems that keep street lights on at all times. The system is built using an Arduino board along with IR sensors and light dependent resistors. It automatically turns the street lights on at night and off during the day. When a vehicle is detected, the street lights ahead are turned on and the trailing lights are turned off, saving energy compared to conventional constant lighting systems. The proposed system provides energy savings along with automated and cost-effective street lighting.
