• 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 lights 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.
