“…Smart traffic signal camera sensors are more adaptive by responding to accommodate intersection travelers outside the conventional design range, which supports the risk-to-resilience competency (Goodall, Smith, & Park, 2013;VisionSystems Design, 2008). Next, smart street lighting networks use sensors to determine where street lighting is or is not needed based on locations of vehicles or pedestrians to improve energy efficiency (Escolar, Carretero, Marinescu, & Chessa, 2014). Street lights are a promising avenue for adding sensors, as they are ubiquitous and already connected to electrical infrastructure.…”

Infrastructure are increasingly being recognized as too rigid to quickly adapt to a changing climate and a non-stationary future. This rigidness poses risks to and impacts on infrastructure service delivery and public welfare. Adaptivity in infrastructure is critical for managing uncertainties to continue providing services, yet little is known about how infrastructure can be made more agile and flexible towards improved adaptive capacity. A literature review identified approximately fifty examples of novel infrastructure and technologies which support adaptivity through one or more of ten theoretical competencies of adaptive infrastructure. From these examples emerged several infrastructure forms and possible strategies for adaptivity, including smart technologies, combined centralized/decentralized organizational structures, and renewable electricity generation. With institutional and cultural support, such novel structures and systems have the potential to transform infrastructure provision and management.

“…Given LED as the lighting technology, most of the efficiency solutions revolve around the controllability of the LEDs. The most straightforward way to reduce energy consumption is to reduce the time a lamp spends in states with high power consumption [11], which can be achieved by partial dimming or turning off the lights when not needed. Individually controlled lights have been estimated to achieve energy savings of as much as 50% [9].…”

Nowadays street lighting accounts for 53% of outdoor lighting use and the market is continuously increasing. In the context of rising energy prices and growing environmental awareness, energy efficiency is becoming one of the most important criteria for street lighting systems design. LED-based lights have become the primary option for replacing conventional light bulbs, being digitally controllable, small, highly efficient, and cheap to manufacture. Advanced control strategies adapted to ambient conditions are needed to combine low energy consumption and high quality light ambience according to changing specifications. This paper describes an outdoor lighting solution aimed at energy efficient performance in the context of multipurpose outdoor environments, where control is crucial in achieving efficiency improvements. The work addresses efficiency at the component level, by optimizing the performance of LED drivers, and at system level, defining the control strategy and associated hardware infrastructure. The approach designed was tested in a real environment. The performance of the lighting installation was assessed using the web-based monitoring application, providing real-time consumption information and aggregated historical data.

Electric power Energy conservation Carbon emisson Light lamp efficacy.Utilization of conventional electrical energy as the fulfillment of living necessities for lighting and electrical equipment is increasing, which can cause problems in the provision of electrical energy. Energy management is needed to solve the problem of energy utilization, especially the problem of energy demand during peak load. The greatest energy consumption during peak loads is for building lighting at night, including street lighting. The use of electrical energy for the national public road lighting is getting bigger due to the increase in the length of national roads each year significantly. In North Sumatera Province, by the end of 2019 the total length of the national road segment is 2632.22 Km, an increase of 328.56 km from the previous road length. By increasing the power factor of the existing national street lighting and utilizing lamps with high efficacy and utilization of solar cells on the increase of national roads will be obtained energy conservation and the need for electrical power for the purposes of street lighting by increasing the road segment becomes fulfilled.Copy Right, IJAR, 2018,.

Introduction:-Along with growing Needs of electrical energy that continues to increase, if it can not be met will cause the supply of electrical energy is disrupted.Development of national roads is done to meet the needs of the community to drive. With the growth of national roads in North Sumatera, the need for electrical energy for street lighting is also increasing. Street lighting is used at night while at the same time there is a peak load on the power system. With the addition of this national road segment, a strategy is needed in the utilization of electric energy for street lighting. To meet the needs of electrical energy can be done with energy efficiency and energy saving done by adding equipment to improve the power factor [1]. Can also be done by decreasing active power losses and reactive power losses in power distribution systems [2].Efficiency is one step in the implementation of energy conservation. Energy efficiency is an appropriate general term for using less energy to produce the same number of useful services or outputs. In the general public, sometimes energy efficiency is also defined as energy saving. Energy efficiency is an action of energy utilization that is smaller than energy that should be used at a level of equal energy production. Energy efficiency occurs on the consumer side associated with the use of electrical equipment. Through energy efficiency measures will be achieved significant energy conservation. Energy conservation can be achieved through systematic, planned, and integrated Corresponding Author:-Janter.
