Abstract
With the developing technology and increasing urbanization, many problems have started to arise in the use of energy resources and in our natural environment. Energy-saving constitutes the main purpose of any proposed smart system. In addition, environmental effects should be taken into consideration. In an outdoor lighting, along with the use of energy-efficient bulbs, the lighting should be done with the right method and in the right way. In addition to these, an intelligent system integrated with an automatic control mechanism is needed. Incorrect outdoor lighting causes unnecessary energy consumption as well as light pollution and CO2 emission. These situations have negative consequences on both the mental and physical health of the human being, as well as on other living things and nature. Therefore, smart outdoor lighting systems offer an essential solution in preventing negative consequences that may occur with incorrect outdoor lighting. In this study, outdoor lighting requirements, light pollution and smart cities have been examined in detail and the smart outdoor lighting systems within the scope of smart cities are emphasized. As a result, it has been seen how important and necessary is the smart outdoor lighting system, which provides an energy-efficient and environmentally friendly structure by enabling street lamps to work smartly and efficiently.
Highlights
CITIES ARE unquestionably the cause and the answer to society's sustainability problems
Light pollution has a large number of negative effects on individuals, ecosystems, astronomy and energy consumption, just as it is caused by sound, garbage and chemical products
As a result; It has become crucial and necessary to design smart systems and transform them into smart cities by benefiting from the blessings of developing science and technology to meet the demand of the increasing urban population, to contribute to the environment and economy, to facilitate research and studies in many specific areas
Summary
Light pollution has a large number of negative effects on individuals, ecosystems, astronomy and energy consumption, just as it is caused by sound, garbage and chemical products All this occurs as a result of human activities. It is seen that the most logical solution in the effective struggle against light pollution, in meeting the data requirements needed with the increase of urbanization and in data management, is to design smart cities. As a result; It has become crucial and necessary to design smart systems and transform them into smart cities by benefiting from the blessings of developing science and technology to meet the demand of the increasing urban population, to contribute to the environment and economy, to facilitate research and studies in many specific areas (such as providing the dark skies needed by astronomers)
