Wireless Smart Street Light Control
Jay Rawal | Dr. R. B. Patel
Abstract: This work is about automation of street lighting system. Nowadays energy crisis in India is a critical issue. Enormous electric energy is consumed by the street lights. At present, street lights are controlled manually and it leads to energy loss. In the present study smart street lighting system manages the street lights automatically turn on in the evening, lighting the road for few hours. It gradually reduces the brightness when no one is detected in that area. When vehicles or pedestrians are detected, the street lights automatically turn on. Design of smart Street lighting system does not only achieve energy-saving but also extend the service life of street light equipment. Conventional street lighting systems in most of the areas are Online at regular intervals of time irrespective of the seasonal variations. The street lights are simply switched on at afternoon and turned off in the morning. The consequence is that a large amount of Power is wasted meaninglessly. As energy consumption is an issue of increasing interest, possible energy savings in public street lighting systems are recently discussed from different viewpoints. So, Smart street light control is developed which is covered in this paper.
