Abstract: The present invention relates to a smart streetlight system integrating piezoelectric energy harvesting, adaptive brightness control, environmental sensing, and infrared- based fog response. A piezoelectric energy generation unit associated with a roadway converts mechanical pressure produced by vehicle movement into electrical energy. The generated electrical energy is conditioned and stored in an energy storage unit for subsequent operation of system components. A sensor unit detects traffic and environmental conditions including fog or reduced visibility. A control unit processes the sensed conditions and adjusts brightness of a visible light source according to traffic and environmental conditions. When fog or reduced visibility is detected, an infrared radiator is selectively activated to emit infrared radiation for improving visibility. The system thereby coordinates energy harvesting, energy storage, adaptive roadway illumination, and fog-responsive infrared operation in an integrated streetlighting arrangement.
