Intelligent power management device for street lighting control incorporating long range static and non-static hybrid infrared detection system

Intelligent “street lighting”, along with its immense energy saving potential, relies upon many factors, not least, the importance of maintaining useable levels of light for both vehicles and pedestrian traffic. One element in the establishment of such a regime is the development of sensory equipment capable of vehicle and human detection with a negligible degree of error. The paper proposes a hybrid long range passive sensory system based on both static (IR Photodiode) and non-static (PIR) sensors.
