Development of smart streetlight terminal based on edge computing and object detection model

The existing urban traffic streetlights exhibit low automation levels, merely enabling timed activation/deactivation, which inadequately ensures illumination effectiveness and causes substantial energy waste. In response to the development vision of smart cities, this paper proposes an intelligent streetlight implementation scheme. Through hardware selection and development, a novel lamp panel was designed to achieve comprehensive road area illumination. Furthermore, an optimized object detection model was integrated, maximizing terminal computing performance to realize automatic on/off control of streetlights.
