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.
