Automated Fault Detection and Tracking in Street Lighting Networks

The exponential increase in the demand for electricity in recent decades has had a major effect on economies around the world, with developing nations having to deal with problems like load shedding. However, there are fewer natural resources available to generate electricity, so alternate solutions are required. Solar energy harvesting has become more widespread thanks to solar panels, but their use is limited because they need to be exposed to direct sunlight. Simultaneously, the emergence of sensor technology and automation has transformed day-to-day activities. Potential methods for energy harvesting include electric sensors, which produce energy through force, load, or pressure. As smart cities and societies develop further, street lighting will become an increasingly important part of urban infrastructure. In this regard, we suggest an Internet of Things-based Street light system.
