Problem Statement
Develop an IoT-enabled smart street lighting solution to revolutionize urban lighting infrastructure. The
system should utilize IoT sensors, connectivity, and data analytics to intelligently manage street lights.
The key objectives include optimizing energy consumption, reducing operational costs, improving
public safety, and minimizing environmental impact. Incorporate features such as motion detection,
ambient light sensing, and remote monitoring and control to dynamically adjust lighting levels based
on real-time conditions and user demand. Ensure scalability, interoperability, and security in the IoT
architecture to enable seamless integration with existing infrastructure and future expansion.

Circuit Diagram
Arduino Uno: A microcontroller board that can be programmed to control electronic components. In
this circuit, it reads the signals from the sensors and controls the LED based on the program.
LDR (Light Dependent Resistor): A sensor that detects light intensity. The resistance of the LDR
decreases as the light intensity increases. In this circuit, the LDR is used to determine whether it is day or
night.

IR Sensor: An infrared sensor that detects infrared radiation. In this circuit, the IR sensor is
used to detect motion. When motion is detected, the IR sensor sends a signal to the Arduino.
Resistor: A passive electronic component that resists the flow of current. Resistors are used to limit
current flow and protect circuits from damage. In this circuit, there are two resistors connected to the
IR sensor. One resistor is connected to the power pin (5V) and the other resistor is connected to the
output pin of the IR sensor. The resistors limit the current flowing through the IR sensor and protect it
from damage.

Advantages:
Energy Efficiency: IoT-enabled systems can dynamically adjust lighting levels based on real-time
data such as traffic flow, pedestrian activity, and ambient light conditions, leading to significant energy
savings compared to traditional lighting systems.

Improved Public Safety: Smart street lighting enhances visibility and safety for pedestrians, cyclists,
and drivers by ensuring well-lit streets and detecting abnormal activities or hazards through integrated
sensors.
