Smart Street Lighting System for Smart Cities Using IoT (LoRa)

Abstract

Smart street light systems are being used more frequently in modern communities because they offer an effective and economical way to illuminate roads while reducing energy use and carbon emissions. Now, wireless networks can connect to and manage streetlights. With the aid of this technology, streetlights may be remotely monitored and controlled depending on variables such as traffic flow, weather, and the time of day. Energy is used as efficiently as possible, and maintenance costs are decreased. A smart streetlight system powered by IoT and LoRa can improve a city's efficiency and sustainability while also improving the quality of life for its residents. To maximize energy efficiency and reduce maintenance costs, the system may automatically adjust the streetlights' brightness and scheduling based on the data. This chapter provides a LoRa and IoT-based smart streetlight system with a cost-effective solution for modern smart cities.
