SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR SMART STREET LIGHTING

Systems and methods are disclosed for smart street lighting concepts. In one embodiment, a smart street light device can include a solar panel, LED light array, motion sensor, wireless communications device, and computer processor. The smart street light device can be deployed individually or as a group of devices. The smart street light device can identify a moving vehicle traveling towards a monitored location; determine a distance of the moving vehicle from the monitored location; determine a speed of the moving vehicle; and control, based on the speed and proximity of the moving vehicle, a brightness of the LED light array to provide suitable lighting for the moving vehicle as it approaches the monitored location. In a group of devices, the brightness of the devices can be increased or decreased as needed to provide coordinated lighting for the moving vehicle as it approaches and/or departs the monitored location.
