Raspberry Pi based Automated Street Lighting System

Abstract

The objective of this IoT project is to develop an electronic device that can facilitate automatic switching ON/OFF of street lights based on the sun light intensity. The Raspberry Pi will be integrated with a LDR (Light Dependent Resistor) that can track the sun light intensity real time. You will then program the system to automatically switch ON/OFF the street lights whenever the sun light intensity crosses a certain value. With this system, a user from any part of the world can track the data online about the electricity usage of street lights, sun light intensity variations etc. Raspberry Pi then facilitates the data transfer real time to the cloud platform through WiFi communication.
