Smart street light management system for conservation of electrical energy

Abstract

Abstract The street light control frameworks are broadly utilized to screen and control the progression of vehicles through the numerous streets to conserve the electrical energy. In traditional manual and automatic street lights monitoring system even though uses renewable resources like solar and wind energy, they were turned ON in the evening i.e. when there is not sufficient sunlight and transitioned in the morning i.e. when there is an adequate light outwardly. The lights once turned ON, remain in the same state continuously for about twelve hours a day. This leads to wastage of electrical energy. To overcome this, this paper proposed a method, to conserve the electricity that is being utilized to light up the streetlights on Highways, Village roads, streets in urban and rural areas, parks etc. the proposed system monitors the obstacles on the road and controls the street lights. This system is not only to turn ON and OFF the lights and also control the intensity of the streetlights on the basis of the movements of vehicles and pedestrians in turn conserving the energy. This system also updates the status of street lights onto the cloud server.
