Street light is a raised source of light that is commonly used along walkways and streets when the surrounding turns dark. Nowadays, most of the existing street light systems are wired which are not only difficult to construct but also has poor flexibility. To overcome this, wireless system is required. In this paper, we are using GSM technology which uses power efficiently by remotely monitoring and controlling the system. This system will ease the fault detection and maintenance. System allows us to make the most efficient use of the energy received from the sun to power street lights. Solar energy is collected with the aid of solar panel and battery is charged during day time and this energy is used to power street lights during night. Developed intelligent system turns the light ON and OFF depending on the vehicle or pedestrian movement, Real Time Clock and light intensity at the same time. Microcontroller processes the information from the sensors and is transferred to nearby control terminal (Base station with Raspberry PI as a compute module) to monitor the status of the street lamp using GSM technology via Short Message Service (SMS). Designed system is visualized by creating Graphical UserInterface (GUI). Thus, the implementation of such system will result in energy saving, lower cost of maintenance, increased lifespan and hence the enhanced performance of the system.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
