CHAPTER 1

SMART STREET LIGHT SYSTEM

ABSTRACT:
The design and implementation of a Smart Street Light System (SSLS) aimed at enhancing energy
efficiency and reducing operational costs in urban environments. Traditional street lighting systems often
suffer from inefficiencies such as unnecessary energy consumption and inadequate responsiveness to
ambient lighting conditions. The proposed SSLS addresses these shortcomings by integrating advanced
technologies such as Internet of Things (IoT), sensors, and data analytics.

The SSLS employs a network of IoT-enabled street lights equipped with sensors to detect ambient light
levels, human presence, and vehicular movement. These sensors enable dynamic adjustment of lighting
intensity based on real-time environmental factors, ensuring optimal illumination while minimizing energy
consumption. Additionally, the system incorporates predictive analytics algorithms to anticipate lighting
requirements based on historical data patterns, further optimizing energy usage.

Key features of the SSLS include remote monitoring and control capabilities, allowing administrators to
efficiently manage street lighting infrastructure from a centralized platform. Real-time data analytics
provide insights into energy usage patterns, enabling proactive maintenance and troubleshooting to ensure
uninterrupted operation. Furthermore, the SSLS supports seamless integration with smart city ecosystems,
facilitating interoperability with other urban infrastructure systems.
CHAPTER 2
INTRODUCTION:
The street lighting is one of the largest energy expenses for a city. An intelligent street lighting system can
cut municipal street lighting costs as much as 50%- 70%.The present system is like the lights will be
switched on in the evening before the sun sets and theyareswitched off the next day morning after there is
sufficient light on the outside[1]. But theactual timing for these lights to be switched on are when there is
absolute darkness. Withthis, the power will be wasted up to some extent. In sunny and rainy days, ON and
OFFtime differdiscernibly which is one of the significant hindrances of the present street lights systems.
Also the manual operation of the lighting system is completely eliminated. The energyconsumption in entire
world is increasing at the fastest rates due to population growthandeconomic development and the
availability of energy sources remains woefully constrained. Resource augmentation and growth in energy
supply has not kept pace with increasingdemand and, therefore, continues to face serious energy shortages.
Streetlights are anintegral part of any developing locality. They are present on all major roadways and in the
suburbstoo. Every day, streetlights are powered from sunset to sunrise at full strength, evenwhenthere is no
one around. On a global scale, millions of dollars are spent each day onthesestreet lights to provide the
required electrical energy. The maintenance and replacement costsof conventional incandescent bulbs are
immense. They consume a lot of electric power tofunction and their heat emissions are also quite high. All
of this contributes to a greaterdemand for electricity production and consequently, more carbon dioxide
emissions frompowerhouses. So, along with unnecessary light pollution, this practice causes damage
toourplanet too. The main aim of the project is to provide an “IoT based Automatic Street LightingSystem”
powered with solar energy during night time. We use the word “smart” becausethesystem not only provides
power to the street lights but also helps in detecting the directionofmovement of the pedestrian and helps
him by means of illuminating the path of movement till the near next street light. A simple and effective
solution to this wouldbe dimming the lights during off-peak hours. Whenever presence is detected, the
lightsaround it will glow in the normal (bright) mode. This would save a lot of energy andalsoreduce the
cost of operation of the streetlights. We can check the status of a street light ontheinternet using IoT
(Internet of things) from anywhere in real-time and solve the issues if happen during the processing .
CHAPTER 3
SYSTEM ANALYSIS:

EXISTING SYSTEM:

Smart street light system was initially developed only with ir sensors which can detect
vehicle movement and the street light glows only when there is movement of vehicle but this
old system had the drawback that the street light would glow even in the day time which
leads to power consumptionSo we have developed this existing model with ldr which detects
the presence of sunlight and Arduino with which we can control the intensity of
light

PROPOSED SYSTEM:

The current setup utilizes power delivery through a single-phase line for the streetlight. The
proposed system, however, integrates five additional components to regulate power
distribution. An infrared proximity sensor positioned at the base of the streetlight detects
presence within a limited area. Data from the sensor is transmitted to the Arduino, serving as
the circuit's central processor. The Arduino then instructs the system to switch between dim
and bright modes based on requirements, thereby controlling streetlight brightness. A battery
eliminator, also powered by the single-phase line, supplies 5V inputs to the sensors and
Arduino. The system employs the Arduino IDE, an open-source software facilitating code
creation and uploading onto the board. Additionally, it utilizes an LDR (Light Dependent
Resistor) to detect incident electromagnetic radiation, and an IR sensor to detect infrared
radiation and motion. The system operates in three modes: OFF mode when sufficient natural
light is present, Active mode when natural light diminishes, and ON mode when pedestrians
are detected, activating the LED lights which automatically switch off after a set
duration.

COMPOMENTS:

1. ARDUINO UNO

The Arduino UNO is a standard board of Arduino. Here UNO means 'one' in Italian. It was named
as UNO to label the first release of Arduino Software. It was also the first USB board released by Arduino.
It is considered as the powerful board used in various projects. Arduino.cc developed the Arduino UNO
board.

Arduino UNO is based on an ATmega328P microcontroller. It is easy to use compared to other boards, such
as the Arduino Mega board, etc. The board consists of digital and analog Input/Output pins (I/O), shields,
and other circuits.

The Arduino UNO includes 6 analog pin inputs, 14 digital pins, a USB connector, a power jack, and an
ICSP (In-Circuit Serial Programming) header. It is programmed based on IDE, which stands for Integrated
Development Environment. It can run on both online and offline platforms.
2. IR SENSOR:

An infrared sensor (IR sensor) is a radiation-sensitive optoelectronic component

with a spectral sensitivity in the infrared wavelength range 780 nm … 50 µm. IR
sensors are now widely used in motion detectors, which are used in building
services to switch on lamps or in alarm systems to detect unwelcome guests. In a
defined angle range, the sensor elements detect the heat radiation (infrared
radiation) that changes over time and space due to the movement of people. Such
infrared sensors only have to meet relatively low requirements and are low-cost
mass-produced items.

3. LDR:
LDR is an acronym for Light Dependent Resistor. LDRs are tiny light-sensing devices also known
as photoresistors. An LDR is a resistor whose resistance changes as the amount of light falling on it
changes. The resistance of the LDR decreases with an increase in light intensity, and vice-versa. This
property allows us to use them for making light sensing circuits.
 4.LED:
A light-emitting diode (LED) is a semiconductor device that emits
light when current flows through it. Electrons in the semiconductor recombine
with electron holes, releasing energy in the form of photons. The color of the
light (corresponding to the energy of the photons) is determined by the energy
required for electrons to cross the band gap of the semiconductor.[5] White
light is obtained by using multiple semiconductors or a layer of light-
emitting phosphor on the semiconductor device.[6

RESISTOR:
The main purpose of resistor is to reduce the current flow and to
lower the voltage in any particular portion of the circuit. It is made of
copper wires which are coiled around a ceramic rod and the outer part
of the resistor is coated with an insulating paint.
BREAD BOARD:
A breadboard is a device used for prototyping and building electronic circuits without the need
for soldering.

It consists of a rectangular plastic board with multiple rows and columns of interconnected
metal clips or sockets, which are used to insert and connect electronic components like
resistors, capacitors, integrated circuits, and wires.

Bread boards have rows of holes where you can insert components' leads or wire ends. These
holes are internally connected in a specific pattern, typically in rows, allowing you to easily
connect components in a circuit.
CONNECTING WIRES:

Connecting wires, often referred to as jumper wires or simply wires, are electrical conductors
used to create electrical connections between components, devices, or points on a circuit.
They are an essential component in electronics and electrical projects, allowing for the
transfer of electrical signals, power, or data.

These wires are typically made of copper or aluminum with insulation to prevent short
circuits or unintended electrical connections.
CHAPTER 5
WORKING MODEL:

An LDR is connected to the analog pin of the Arduino. It controls the LEDs by
detecting the presence or absence of sunlight.
When sufficient sunlight is present in the surroundings, then the LDR offers high
resistance and acts as an insulator. In this case, the Arduino read high analog output
values from the LDR and automatically turn off all LEDs (streetlights).
During the absence of sunlight, the LDR detects dark and offers Low resistance, and
acts as a conductor. In this case, the Arduino read Low analog input values from the
LDR and automatically turn on the LEDs (streetlights). At the same time, the IR
sensor also starting its operations and start detecting any vehicles or people moving on
the road.
In this project, we are using 4 IR sensors that are connected to the digital pins of the
Arduino. We also use 5 LEDs that represent the streetlights, each LED connected to
the PWM pins of the Arduino. Each IR sensor controls 2 LEDs.When any of the IR
sensors sense the position of the vehicle or human, its output goes LOW (0). Then the
Arduino read Low output value from that sensor and increase the light intensity of two
LEDs by using Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) technique.
When the IR sensors don’t detect any vehicle or human position, its output goes High
(1). Then the Arduino read High output value from that sensor.
