This paper aims for providing solution to design and execute the system for saving energy of street lights and controlling the collisions occurring on roads. Currently we have a manual system where the street lights will be switched ON in the evening before the sunsets and they are switched OFF in the next day morning after there is sufficient light outside and currently there is no such system in India that helps in monitoring or detecting collisions occurred on roads. This we can implement by sensing a vehicle using an Ultrasonic sensor/IR sensor and using some heat & sound sensors for sensing the collision if it occurs. On sensing the movement of a vehicle, the sensor transmits the data to the Raspberry Pi, which will switch ON the next three consecutive street lights in order to give the driver a visible track to drive in dark. Similarly, the Light gets switched OFF according to a timer that gets triggered as soon as the vehicle or an obstacle goes away from the sensor
