DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION OF A MICROCONTROLLER BASED AUTOMATED INTELLIGENT STREET LIGHTING SYSTEM

International Journal of Scientific & Engineering Research, 2018

This Paper Presents a Microcontroller based Automated Intelligent Street lighting System which is utilized for power conservation, intelligence and fault detection. The main objectives are to automatically switch the street light to an ON/OFF state utilizing the Light Dependent Resistor, to save power and increment the life time of the LED utilizing Infrared Sensor(IR) to dim and brighten up the LED at intervals and to create a system where a fault is detected and a fault location message is sent to an assigned GSM number or control centre. This is achieved using a PIC18F26K22 microcontroller. The PIC microcontroller on the main board serves as the brain house of the system where every activity is coordinated from. The module used for lighting is the LED. The system automatically turns ON the light according to the degree of darkness and turns OFF the light according to the intensity of light. A Light Dependent Resistor (LDR) sensor, an Infrared Sensor (IR) and a GSM module are used for this research work. This system works at night. Street light will come to an ON state when the LDR senses a high degree of darkness but remains in a Dim state which is still bright enough for motorist to see clearly. Full ON is activated when movement is detected within the proximity of the IR but the Dim state is reactivated back after the movement is no longer sensed. The GSM module sends a fault detection message to a control centre or assigned GSM number stating the location of the faulty LED when a fault is detected with the LED or the LED does not come up. This design can save a considerable amount of Power because of the Dimming of the LED through the Infrared Sensor. However maintenance and personnel cost is reduced and lifespan of the LED is increased.

Automatic Street Lighting Control System Using Microcontroller and Sensors

International Journal of Scientific Research in Science, Engineering and Technology, 2020

Now-a-days the amount of power consumed by lighting and streets shares a major energy demand. Nowadays, human has become too busy, and is unable to find time even to switch off the lights wherever not necessary. Generally, street lights are switched on for whole night and during the day, they are switched off. But during the night time, street lights are not necessary if there is no traffic. Saving of this energy is very important factor these days as energy resources are getting reduced day by day. To overcome from this issue, a proper energy saving methods and lighting control to be implemented. The proposed work is to have two controls like, one is to switch of lights during no vehicle moments in streets and automatically switch it on when vehicles arrive and the other modes are to give less intensity light for pedestrian and to switch on bright mode during vehicle moments at sides on the roads. In this work the sensor is used for street arrangement, the Photo diodes and IR sensors are used to sense vehicle moments. The control signals of sensors have been fed to microcontroller 8051. Moreover the automatic and intelligent control schemes are required to control the complex lighting system due to growth of cities and standard of living.

Automatic Street Light Control System Using Microcontroller

This paper aims at designing and executing the advanced development in embedded systems for energy saving of street lights. Nowadays, human has become too busy, and is unable to find time even to switch the lights wherever not necessary. The present system is like, the street lights will be switched on in the evening before the sun sets and they are switched off the next day morning after there is sufficient light on the roads. this paper gives the best solution for electrical power wastage. Also the manual operation of the lighting system is completely eliminated. In this paper the two sensors are used which are Light Dependent Resistor LDR sensor to indicate a day/night time and the photoelectric sensors to detect the movement on the street. the microcontroller PIC16F877A is used as brain to control the street light system, where the programming language used for developing the software to the microcontroller is C-language. Finally, the system has been successfully designed and implemented as prototype system.

Energy efficient smart street light for smart city using sensors and controller

Smart street light is an intelligent control of street lights to optimize the problem of power consumption of the street, late in night. 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 was designed by using Light Dependent Resistor (LDR), Infrared sensor (IR), battery and LED. 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 light 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.

Building A Sustainable Future using Advance Street Lighting System

International Journal of Research in Advent Technology, 2019

With the advancement in science and technology, electrical energy has become one in every of the essential suggests that to hold out today's life. Power demand affects the lives of people in many ways. With this surge in the demand of power, it is important, rather essential, to find ways to conserve power to prevent resources from getting exhausted. The present paper focuses on one of the solutions for this problem, i.e. by building sensible street lights which can scale back power wastage because of unessential lighting of street lights in spite of traffic density and at odd hour using microcontroller and light dependent sensor for detecting the movement of the objects. The prototype has been designed that will automatically control the street lights at different intensity levels.

Execution of a smart street lighting system for energy saving enhancement

Bulletin of Electrical Engineering and Informatics, 2021

In many countries, particularly, third world countries. The common issue is saving energy. That`s why smart systems considered now primary for life requirements. This work aims to solve the energy saving problem. We prepared a street model that contains several lampposts on both sides of the street; we placed three IR sensors between the lampposts alongside the street. The IR sensors are connected to the controller (in this work we used Arduino UNO). The controller takes the signal from the IR sensor, and then it sends the command to the lamppost to turn on or off. Depending on the number of cars passed, (we took a sample of a number of cars that passed on an actual street) and through formulas we calculated the power consumed by the lampposts in two cases, the first case is when the lights is always on. The second case is when the smart system applied. We also applied fuzzy logic to the system to take the intensity of the ambient light (the sun light) under consideration. The results showed that the proposedsmart lighting system is efficient and reliable in saving energy. The energy saved for both (smart and fuzzy) systems was enormous.
