Abstract:
To detect vehicle movement on highways, switch ON only a block of
street lights ahead of it (vehicle), and to switch OFF the trailing lights
to save energy.
During the night, all the lights on the highway remain ON for the
vehicles, but lots of energy is wasted when there is no vehicle
movement.
This can be used for lights in parking areas of industries, hotels,
restaurants, etc.

Aim:
To promote energy efficiency and the balanced use of energy resources.
To endorse renewable, and new energy sources and to upkeep energy
variation.
To encourage energy proficiency and use of new and renewable energy
source in the transport.

Working Principle:
This proposed system provides a solution for energy saving.
This is achieved by sensing an approaching vehicle and then switches
ON a block of street lights ahead of the vehicle.
As the vehicle passes by, the trailing lights switch OFF automatically.
Thus, we save a lot of energy.
However, there is another mode of operation where instead of switching
OFF the lights completely, they remain ON with 10% of the maximum
intensity.

Implementation:
The illumination comes from LED bulbs, which are triggered by motion
sensors.
As a person or car approaches, their movement is detected by the closest
streetlight, and its output goes up to 100 percent.
The lights are all wirelessly linked to one another, the surrounding lights
also come on, and only go back down to 20 percent once the commutator
has passed through.
This essentially creates a "pool of light" that precedes and follows people
wherever they go, so any thugs lurking in the area should be clearly visible
well in advance.

The light’s wireless communications system also allows them to
automatically notify a central control room when failures (such as burnt-
out bulbs) occur.
This should make maintenance much simpler, as crews will know exactly
where to go.

Applications:
More saving of energy used in the street lights.
Safe road lighting for smooth vehicular movement.
Intelligent intensity control.
This idea can be implemented on both small roads and busy highways.
Street Light That Glows On Detecting Vehicle Movement project is
inexpensive and costs effective.

Conclusion:
Wireless is a buzz of the communication industry today. The field of
wireless communication is growing leaps and bounds day by day.
The main aim of this project is to save the power. By using it effectively
we can save more power.
This can be used in long roadways between the cities.
Here we are saving lot of power without any wastage; by this advanced
technology we can design many more systems.
