Automatic Street Lighting System Utilising the Internet of Things

Abstract

The goal of this project is to develop and execute continual improvement in embedded systems for energy savings in street lights. The street lights are at present manually turned on during the middle of the night just before sunset and off in the morning once it is sufficiently light outdoors. However, when it is completely dark, some of the aforementioned lights actually start to come on. The power will be wasted to some extent as a result of that one. This project provides a solution to electrical power waste. The lighting system's operation is also completely eliminated. The proposed system offers an energy-saving solution. This is accomplished by sensing and approaching a vehicle with an infrared transmitter and receiver pair. When the sensor detects movement, it sends data to the microcontroller, which causes the light to turn on. Similar to this, the light switches off as soon as the car or obstruction passes away. You can also check the status of the street light (ON/OFF) online at any time and from anywhere. In this project, the street lights are controlled by a clever embedded system based on the identification of vehicles or other roadside obstructions. The light will switch on/off automatically depending on the detection even if an impediment is found on the street during the allotted period, and the same information can be obtained over the internet. The street light's real-time status (ON/OFF) can be accessed via the internet at any time and from any location
