Automation for Safer Pedestrian Street Lighting at Intersections
This project aims to improve pedestrian safety by enhancing visibility at roadway intersections through innovative LED streetlight technology. By developing individual diode control and positioning streetlights optimally, the project focuses on minimizing shadows, improving driver visibility, and providing real-time adaptive lighting. Anticipated outcomes include valuable data generation, patent filings, and setting new standards for urban lighting infrastructure.
