Literature Review on Automatic Streets Lighting Systems in Residential Areas in Nigeria
Abstract: Street lighting has emerged as an essential factor in strategies for crime prevention in residential areas and realization of sustainable growth. The idea is to improve security for street users during the night by guaranteeing a luminance level. This paper introduces a brief investigation of previous researchers on automatic street lighting systems design and implementation. The research adopts an extensive review of literature such as conference papers, journal articles, internet sources, books to research on automated street lighting systems for residential areas in Nigeria. This research concluded that by automating the street lighting system, the lights comes on automatically in the hours of darkness and goes off by itself when it senses the sunlight coming out in the day time. These lightings expose the activities going on within and around our premises at night time when the natural source of lights have become weakened. The study further recommends that future authors should design efficient lighting system in residential areas in other to prevent crimes in the community.
