Street Lighting Disturbs Commuting Bats

Anthropogenic disturbance is a major cause of worldwide declines in biodiversity. Understanding the implications of this disturbance for species and populations is crucial for conservation biologists wishing to mitigate negative effects. Anthropogenic light pollution is an increasing global problem, affecting ecological interactions across a range of taxa and impacting negatively upon critical ...

Performance evaluation of Tree and Mesh ZigBee Network Topologies used in Street Lighting Control Systems

The design of a high performance street lighting control system is an important issue. This paper focuses on an assessment of the performance of the ZigBee mesh and tree network topologies which, can be implemented in different street lighting control network configurations. The paper also presents the performance evaluation of three configurations in order to select the best candidate that can...

Smart Street Lighting Control and Monitoring System for Electrical Power Saving by Using VANET

The huge amount of electrical power of many countries is consumed in lighting the streets. However, vehicles pass with very low rate in specific periods of time and parts of the streets are not occupied by vehicles over time. In this paper, we propose a system that automatically switches off the light for the parts of the streets having no vehicles and turns on the light for these parts once th...
