1. Introduction

Highway lighting plays a vital role in ensuring road safety by providing adequate visibility for

drivers during nighttime and low-light conditions. However, traditional highway lighting systems

are often inefficient, resulting in unnecessary energy consumption and high operational costs.

These systems typically rely on timers or simple photosensors to turn lights on and off based on

predetermined schedules or ambient light levels. This approach fails to account for dynamic
 2

traffic conditions, weather patterns, and other environmental factors that may necessitate

adjustments in illumination levels.

The Internet of Things (IoT) has emerged as a transformative technology, enabling the

interconnection of various devices and systems through the internet, facilitating data exchange

and remote monitoring and control. By leveraging IoT technologies, smart automated highway

lighting systems can be developed to dynamically adjust illumination levels based on real-time

data from various sensors and inputs. These systems have the potential to significantly improve

energy efficiency, reduce operational costs, and enhance road safety by providing adaptive and

optimized lighting conditions.

This review paper aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the current state-of-the-art in

smart automated highway lighting systems employing IoT technologies. The key components,

communication protocols, data processing techniques, and lighting control strategies will be

discussed in detail. The integration of renewable energy sources and energy storage systems for

environmentally sustainable operations will also be explored. Practical implementation case

studies will be analyzed to highlight the benefits and challenges associated with these systems.

Finally, open research issues and future directions for further enhancements will be identified.

2. Key Components of Smart Automated Highway Lighting Systems

Smart automated highway lighting systems typically comprise several key components that work

together to enable efficient and adaptive lighting control. These components include:

1. Lighting Infrastructure: This includes the luminaires (light fixtures) installed along the

highway, which may be based on traditional technologies such as high-pressure sodium

(HPS) or light-emitting diode (LED) lamps. LED luminaires are increasingly preferred
 3

due to their superior energy efficiency, long lifespan, and ability to dynamically adjust

illumination levels [1,2].

2. Sensor Network: A network of various sensors is deployed along the highway to collect

real-time data relevant to lighting control. Common sensors include:

● Photosensors: Measure ambient light levels to determine when artificial lighting is

required [3].

● Traffic Sensors: Detect the presence and density of vehicles to adjust lighting based on

traffic conditions [4].

● Weather Sensors: Monitor parameters such as precipitation, temperature, and visibility

to adapt lighting levels accordingly [5].

● Occupancy Sensors: Detect the presence of pedestrians or other road users in specific

areas, enabling localized lighting control [6].

3. Communication Network: A reliable and robust communication network is essential for

enabling data exchange between the sensor nodes, lighting controllers, and a central

management system. Various communication technologies can be employed, including

wired (e.g., Ethernet, power line communication) and wireless (e.g., cellular, Wi-Fi,

LoRaWAN, ZigBee) options [7,8].

4. Lighting Controllers: These devices are responsible for receiving data from the sensor

network and executing lighting control algorithms to adjust the illumination levels of

individual luminaires or groups of luminaires. They may be integrated into the luminaires

themselves or deployed as separate units [9,10].

5. Central Management System: A central management system, typically a software

platform hosted on a server or in the cloud, serves as the brain of the smart lighting
 4

system. It collects and processes data from the sensor network and lighting controllers,

generates insights and analytics, and enables remote monitoring and control of the entire

system [11,12].

6. User Interface: A user-friendly interface, such as a web-based dashboard or mobile

application, allows system operators and maintenance personnel to monitor the system's

performance, configure settings, and receive alerts or notifications [13].

7. Renewable Energy Sources and Energy Storage: To further enhance sustainability and

reduce operational costs, smart automated highway lighting systems may incorporate

renewable energy sources (e.g., solar panels, wind turbines) and energy storage systems

(e.g., batteries, supercapacitors) to partially or fully power the lighting infrastructure

[14,15].

Table 1 summarizes the key components of smart automated highway lighting systems and their

respective functions.

3. Communication Protocols and Technologies

Effective communication is crucial for the successful operation of smart automated highway

lighting systems, as it enables the exchange of data between various components and the central

management system. Several communication protocols and technologies can be employed, each

with its own advantages and trade-offs in terms of data rates, range, power consumption, and

scalability.

3.1. Wired Communication Technologies

Wired communication technologies provide reliable and high-speed data transfer but require

physical infrastructure deployment, which can be challenging and costly in highway

environments.

1. Ethernet: Ethernet is a widely adopted wired communication standard that offers high

data rates and reliable communication. It can be used to connect lighting controllers and

other components to the central management system, particularly in urban areas where

existing infrastructure is available [16].

 6

2. Power Line Communication (PLC): PLC technology utilizes the existing power lines

for data transmission, eliminating the need for dedicated communication infrastructure.

This can be advantageous in remote highway locations where deploying new cabling is

difficult or expensive. However, PLC may be susceptible to interference and have lower

data rates compared to other wired technologies [17,18].

3.2. Wireless Communication Technologies

Wireless communication technologies offer greater flexibility and ease of deployment, making

them well-suited for highway environments where trenching or laying cables can be challenging

and costly.

1. Cellular Networks (3G/4G/5G)**: Cellular networks provide wide coverage and high

data rates, making them suitable for smart lighting systems that require real-time data

transmission and remote monitoring and control. However, cellular connectivity may

incur recurring subscription costs and be susceptible to network congestion or coverage

gaps in remote areas [19,20].

2. Wi-Fi (IEEE 802.11): Wi-Fi is a widely adopted wireless technology that offers high

data rates and compatibility with a wide range of devices. It can be used for

communication between lighting controllers and the central management system,

particularly in urban areas with existing Wi-Fi infrastructure. However, Wi-Fi has limited

range and may require multiple access points for highway deployments [21,22].

3. LoRaWAN (Long Range Wide Area Network): LoRaWAN is a low-power wide-area

network (LPWAN) technology specifically designed for IoT applications. It offers long-

range communication (up to several kilometers in rural areas) and low power

consumption, making it well-suited for sensor networks and lighting controllers in smart
 7

highway lighting systems. However, LoRaWAN has relatively low data rates and may

not be suitable for applications requiring high-bandwidth data transmission [23,24].

4. ZigBee (IEEE 802.15.4): ZigBee is a low-power wireless mesh network protocol based

on the IEEE 802.15.4 standard. It is designed for low-cost, low-power, and low-data-rate

applications, making it suitable for sensor networks in smart lighting systems. ZigBee

networks can operate in star, tree, or mesh topologies, providing flexibility and

redundancy. However, ZigBee has a limited range and may require multiple hops or

gateways for highway deployments [25,26].

5. Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE): BLE is a low-power wireless communication standard

designed for short-range applications. While not primarily intended for large-scale IoT

deployments, BLE can be used for localized communication between lighting controllers

and nearby sensors or user devices. Its low power consumption and compatibility with

smartphones and other mobile devices make it a viable option for certain use cases

[27,28].

6. Narrowband IoT (NB-IoT): NB-IoT is a low-power wide-area network (LPWAN)

technology standardized by 3GPP for IoT applications. It operates within licensed

cellular frequency bands and offers improved coverage, low power consumption, and

support for a large number of connected devices. NB-IoT can be a suitable choice for

smart lighting systems that require long-range communication and high scalability,

particularly in areas with good cellular network coverage [29,30].

The selection of the appropriate communication technology or a combination of technologies

depends on factors such as the deployment environment, range requirements, data throughput

needs, power constraints, and cost considerations. In many cases, a hybrid approach combining

multiple technologies may be necessary to address the diverse requirements of smart automated

highway lighting systems.

4. Data Processing and Lighting Control Strategies

The effectiveness of smart automated highway lighting systems relies heavily on the ability to

process the collected data from various sensors and implement intelligent lighting control
 10

strategies. This section discusses data processing techniques and lighting control algorithms

employed in these systems.

4.1. Data Processing Techniques

The data collected from the sensor network comprising photosensors, traffic sensors, weather

sensors, and occupancy sensors needs to be preprocessed, filtered, and analyzed to extract

meaningful insights and support decision-making for lighting control. Common data processing

techniques include:

1. Data Cleaning and Preprocessing: Raw sensor data may contain errors, noise, or

missing values. Data cleaning and preprocessing techniques, such as outlier removal,

interpolation, and normalization, are employed to ensure data quality and consistency

[31,32].

2. Data Fusion and Integration: Data from multiple sensor types and sources need to be

fused and integrated to provide a comprehensive view of the environment and enable

effective lighting control decisions. Techniques such as sensor data fusion, data

correlation, and data alignment can be used for this purpose [33,34].

3. Machine Learning and Predictive Analytics: Machine learning algorithms can be

applied to the processed sensor data to identify patterns, make predictions, and support

automated decision-making. Techniques such as regression, classification, clustering, and

time-series forecasting can be employed to predict traffic patterns, weather conditions,

and lighting requirements [35,36].

4. Edge and Cloud Computing: Depending on the computational requirements and latency

constraints, data processing can be distributed between edge devices (e.g., lighting

controllers, gateways) and cloud-based systems. Edge computing enables low-latency

 11

local processing, while cloud computing provides scalable resources for more complex

analytics and storage [37,38].

5. Data Visualization and Reporting: Effective visualization and reporting tools are

essential for system operators and stakeholders to monitor the performance of the smart

lighting system, identify issues, and make informed decisions. Techniques such as

dashboards, heat maps, and interactive charts can be employed to present relevant data

and insights [39,40].

4.2. Lighting Control Strategies

Based on the processed data and insights, various lighting control strategies can be implemented

to optimize the illumination levels and energy efficiency of the highway lighting system. Some

commonly employed strategies include:

1. Adaptive Dimming: Luminaires are dynamically dimmed or brightened based on real-

time data from photosensors, traffic sensors, and occupancy sensors. This strategy

ensures that illumination levels are adjusted according to actual needs, reducing energy

consumption while maintaining safety and visibility [41,42].

2. Scheduled Dimming: Lighting levels are adjusted based on predefined schedules or

profiles that take into account typical traffic patterns, weather conditions, and ambient

light levels. This strategy can be effective in scenarios with relatively predictable patterns

but may not adapt well to unexpected events or deviations [43].

3. Occupancy-Based Lighting: Specific areas or zones along the highway are illuminated

only when the presence of vehicles, pedestrians, or other road users is detected by

occupancy sensors. This strategy enables localized and targeted lighting, resulting in

significant energy savings in low-traffic areas [44,45].

 12

4. Adaptive Traffic Lighting: Illumination levels are adjusted based on real-time traffic

data, ensuring that high-traffic areas receive adequate lighting while low-traffic areas are

dimmed or turned off. This strategy optimizes energy usage while maintaining safety in

high-traffic zones [46,47].

5. Weather-Adaptive Lighting: Lighting levels are adjusted based on weather conditions,

such as precipitation, fog, or snow, to ensure visibility and safety. For example,

luminaires may be brightened during heavy rain or fog to improve visibility [48,49].

6. Predictive Maintenance: Machine learning and data analytics techniques can be

employed to predict luminaire failures or degradation, enabling proactive maintenance

and replacement, thereby reducing downtime and operational costs [50,51].

These lighting control strategies can be implemented individually or combined in a hybrid

approach to achieve optimal results based on the specific requirements and constraints of the

highway lighting system.

5. Integration of Renewable Energy Sources and Energy Storage

To further enhance the sustainability and environmental friendliness of smart automated highway

lighting systems, the integration of renewable energy sources and energy storage systems can be

explored. This section discusses the potential incorporation of these technologies into the overall

system architecture.

5.1. Renewable Energy Sources

Renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind power, can be leveraged to partially or fully

power the lighting infrastructure, reducing reliance on traditional energy sources and minimizing

the carbon footprint of the system.

 13

1. Solar Photovoltaic (PV) Systems: Solar PV panels can be installed along the highway

or in nearby locations to harness solar energy and generate electricity for the lighting

system. The PV panels can be integrated with the luminaires themselves or installed as

separate arrays. The generated electricity can be used directly to power the luminaires or

stored in energy storage systems for later use [52,53]. Solar PV systems are particularly

suitable for highway lighting applications due to the availability of open spaces and the

potential for capturing sunlight throughout the day.

2. Wind Turbines: Small-scale wind turbines can be deployed along highways to harness

wind energy and generate electricity. While wind energy may not be as reliable or

consistent as solar energy, it can complement solar PV systems and provide additional

renewable energy generation capacity [54,55]. The selection and placement of wind

turbines should consider factors such as wind patterns, turbulence, and potential noise or

visual impact.

3. Hybrid Renewable Energy Systems: Combining multiple renewable energy sources,

such as solar PV and wind turbines, can provide a more stable and reliable supply of

electricity for the lighting system. Hybrid systems can leverage the strengths of each

technology and mitigate the intermittency and variability of individual sources [56,57].

The integration of renewable energy sources requires careful planning and consideration of

factors such as local climate conditions, available space, installation costs, and grid integration or

energy storage requirements. Additionally, monitoring and control systems may be needed to

optimize the performance and efficiency of the renewable energy systems.

5.2. Energy Storage Systems

 14

Energy storage systems can be employed in conjunction with renewable energy sources to store

excess energy generated during periods of high production and supply power to the lighting

system during periods of low or no renewable energy generation.

1. Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS): Lithium-ion batteries or other advanced

battery technologies can be used to store electrical energy generated from solar PV or

wind turbines. BESS systems can provide backup power, load shifting, and energy

management capabilities, ensuring a reliable and uninterrupted supply of electricity for

the lighting system [58,59].

2. Supercapacitors: Supercapacitors, also known as ultracapacitors, are energy storage

devices with high power density and fast charging/discharging capabilities. They can be

used in smart lighting systems for short-term energy storage and load leveling,

complementing battery systems or serving as standalone storage solutions for certain

applications [60,61].

3. Hybrid Energy Storage Systems: Combining different energy storage technologies,

such as batteries and supercapacitors, can leverage the strengths of each technology and

provide an optimized energy storage solution. Batteries can handle long-term energy

storage, while supercapacitors can handle high-power demands and transient loads

[62,63].

The selection and sizing of energy storage systems depend on factors such as the renewable

energy generation capacity, lighting load profiles, desired autonomy (the ability to operate

independently from the grid), and cost considerations. Effective energy management strategies,

including charge/discharge control and demand-side management, are crucial for maximizing the

benefits of energy storage systems.

The Netherlands has been at the forefront of implementing smart highway lighting solutions. In

2013, the Dutch Ministry of Infrastructure and the Environment launched a pilot project called

"Smart Light on Smart Highway" on the A58 highway near Eindhoven [64].

The system employed a combination of sensors, including photosensors, traffic sensors, and

weather sensors, to collect real-time data. The data was processed and used to control the

illumination levels of LED luminaires along the highway. The lighting control strategies

included adaptive dimming based on traffic density, weather conditions, and ambient light levels.
 17

The pilot project demonstrated significant energy savings of up to 35% compared to traditional

highway lighting systems, while maintaining or improving road safety. Additionally, the system

facilitated predictive maintenance by monitoring luminaire performance and identifying potential

failures.

Building on the success of the pilot, the Netherlands has since expanded the implementation of

smart highway lighting solutions to other highways and regions, leveraging the expertise and

experience gained from the initial project.

to improve energy efficiency and sustainability [65]. While not specifically focused on

highways, the project demonstrates the potential of smart lighting solutions in urban

environments.

The system employed a combination of LED luminaires, wireless communication networks, and

a central management platform. Sensor data, including ambient light levels and traffic

information, was collected and processed to dynamically adjust the illumination levels of the

luminaires.

The project achieved energy savings of up to 30% compared to traditional lighting systems,

along with reduced maintenance costs and improved quality of life for citizens. The success of

the Lúmina project has inspired other cities to explore similar intelligent lighting solutions.

 18

The system utilized LED luminaires, photosensors, and a wireless communication network based

on LoRaWAN technology. The luminaires were capable of dimming and brightening based on

real-time data from the sensors, enabling adaptive lighting control.

The pilot project demonstrated energy savings of up to 30% compared to conventional highway

lighting systems. Additionally, the system provided real-time monitoring and diagnostics

capabilities, enabling predictive maintenance and reducing downtime.

Based on the successful pilot, the LTA plans to expand the implementation of smart lighting

solutions to other highways and expressways in Singapore.
