| Summary: | Smart street light is an intelligent control of
street lights to optimize the problem of power consumption of
the street, late in night. Currently, usual street lights are
automatically turn on when it becomes dark and turn off when
it becomes bright. This is huge waste of energy in the entire
world as it is an essential community service, but current
implementation is not efficient. Conventional street lights are
being replaced by Light Emitting Diode (LED) street lighting
system, which reduces the power consumption. The focus of
this project is to design a system of street lights controller to
provide a reduction in power consumption. The prototype is
design by using Light Dependent Resistor (LDR), Infrared
sensor (IR), battery and LED. All this component was
controlled by Arduino UNO as the microcontroller. The
brightness of the lamps is being controlled in this project to
reduce the power consumption. The dimming of the lamps
depends on the speed of object motion detected such as
pedestrians, cyclists and cars. The higher speed of moving
object, the greater the level of intensity. For this idea, the
innovation of street lights is not quite the same as conventional
street lights that are controlled by timer switch or light sensor
which automatically turns the street lights on during sunset
and off during sunrise. According to the study, motion
detection devices may help to save up to 40% of energy per
month. |
