Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

This paper considers an autonomous intelligent street lighting system with energy efficient predictive algorithm. The work is related to control of the system which uses algorithms that could provide with energy each lamppost during the night time. To this end, lamp posts are equipped with batteries, motion and light sensors and uniaxial solar trackers with azimuth orientation to the Sun. To simplify system monitoring, several lampposts are grouped together and controlled by a single control unit. The control unit is equipped with XBee 3 wireless module. Based on weather forecast for the coming days, the system adapts to weather condition changes and makes calculations of consumption and operating time. These calculations allow us to distribute the system energy consumption evenly during these days.
