STREETLIGHT MONITORING SYSTEM

Abstract

Automation plays an increasingly very important role in the world economy and in daily life. Automatic systems are being preferred over any kind of manual system. We can also call it an “SMART STREET LIGHT SENSING”. Intelligent light sensing refers to public street lighting that adapts to movement by pedestrians, cyclists and cars. Intelligent street lighting, also referred to as adaptive street lighting, dims when no activity is detected, but brightens when movement is detected. This type of lighting is different from traditional, stationary and illumination, or dimmable street lighting that dims at predetermined times. The research work shows automatic control of streetlights as a result of which power is saved to some extent. In the scope of industrialization, automation is a step beyond mechanization. Whereas mechanization provided human operators with machinery to assist the users with muscular requirements of work, automation greatly decreases the need for human sensory and mental requirements as well. Basically, street lighting is one of the important parts. Therefore, the street lamps are relatively simple but with the development of urbanization, the number of streets increases rapidly with high traffic density.

Existing System

Proposed System

Initially we need to make the connections according to the circuit diagram. The code is very important in making the whole equipment work. Recent days, Smart Street Light System is major component of a smart city Infrastructure. The important function is to lighting the city streets using. Sensor’s to save the current or power energy. In existing system using normal street lamps, it takes more current and expensive so we must use LED lamps to save the current and low amount of power is required. Using IoT type system is all over the world. It is used to be watch all kind of areas in the cities. The entire project is divided into five major sections listed below: • Microcontroller • Infrared sensors • Light dependent resistance • Light emitting diode • Resistor The Automation of the street lighting in India is not up to the mark. Any body needs to switch on the light manually and if the person forgets to switch ON the Street Light it would be a big problem for the pedestrians as well as the vehicles on the road. Our proposal helps to identify the movements of the vehicle or for that matter any obstacle on the road. We used 2 IR sensors 2 LED’s 1 LDR sensor which play a key role in the switching ON and OFF of the lamps. The Arduino UNO Microcontroller acts as an interface while converting the Analog form of input into digital form and makes the lamp glow. The code is dumped into the Arduino by using an Arduino cable by means of a computer.
