Abstract

The concept of automatic street light illumination based on IoT (Internet of Things) is becoming increasingly popular in smart city development. This system involves the use of sensors and wireless communication technologies to automate the operation of streetlights. The system works by installing sensors, such as light sensors or motion sensors, on the streetlights. These sensors detect the presence of people or vehicles and adjust the intensity of the streetlights accordingly. For example, if there are no vehicles or pedestrians around, the system will dim the streetlights to save energy. On the other hand, if there is activity detected, the system will increase the brightness of the lights.
