The Task of monitoring of aging highway bridges and overpasses is important not only from the point of preventing economic losses but also is a matter of preventing catastrophic failures and loss of human life. In recent years wireless sensor technologies have been used extensively to develop highway monitoring platforms for bridges. A limitation of wireless sensors is the finite life span of batteries and high cost of battery replacements, which make such systems prohibitively expensive in many cases. The huge amount of electrical power of many countries is consumed in lightning the streets. However, vehicles pass with very low rate in specific periods of time and parts of the streets are not occupied by vehicles over time. In this paper, we propose a system that automatically reduces intensity of light for parts of the streets having no vehicles and increases the intensity of light for these parts once there are some vehicles that are going to come. Logically this system may save a large amount of the electrical power. In addition, it may increase the lifetime of the lamps and reduce the pollutions. This system automatically controls and monitors the light of the streets. It can light only the parts that have vehicles and help on the maintenance of the lightning equipments. We are also proposing a street light with image processing camera to monitor the situations near the highways, also lonely areas. If the street light is turned ON for more.
