Systems and methods for smart street lighting

A method comprising:

• identifying a moving vehicle traveling towards a monitored street location;
• determining a distance of the moving vehicle from the monitored street location;
• determining a speed of the moving vehicle;
• controlling a brightness of one or more lighting components based on a proximity of the
• moving vehicle to each of the one or more lighting components;
• capturing one or more images of the moving vehicle as the vehicle approaches the
• monitored street location, detecting and/or determining a collision incident associated with the vehicle;
• based at least in part on the collision incident, transmitting an alert to at least one emergency service provider via one or more communication networks;
• and based at least in part on the collision incident, facilitating communications between a driver
• of the moving vehicle and the at least one emergency service provider.

A monitoring system comprising:

• an object tracking component;
• a recording component;
• a communications component;
• a computer processor;
• and a memory storing computer-executable instructions, that when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
• identify via the object tracking component a moving vehicle traveling towards a
• monitored street location;
• determine via the object tracking component a distance of the moving vehicle from
• the monitored street location;
• determine via the object tracking component a speed of the moving vehicle;
• control a brightness of one or more lighting components based on a proximity of
• the moving vehicle to each of the one or more lighting components;
• capture via a recording component one or more images of the moving vehicle as
• the vehicle approaches the monitored street location;
• detect and/or determine a collision incident associated with the vehicle;
• based at least in part on the collision incident, transmit via the communications component an alert to at least one emergency service provider via one or more communication networks;
• and based at least in part on the collision incident, facilitate via the communications component communications between a driver of the moving vehicle and at least one emergency service provider.
