I. INTRODUCTION
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. So when there are no vehicles on
the highway, then all the lights remain OFF.
However, there is another mode of operation where
instead of switching OFF the lights completely, they
remain ON with 10% of the maximum intensity of
the light. As the vehicle approaches, the block of
street lights switch to 100% intensity and then as the
vehicle passes by, the trailing lights revert back to
10% intensity again. High intensity discharge lamp
(HID) presently used for urban street light are based Fig 1: Schematic of E-Street light system.
on principle of gas discharge, thus the intensity is not
controllable by any voltage reduction. White Light
Emitting Diode (LED) based lamps are soon
replacing the HID lamps in street light. Intensity
control is also possible by Pulse Width Modulation
(PWM) generated by the microcontroller. Sensors
used on either side of the road senses vehicle
movement and sends logic commands to
