DESIGN OF A STREET LIGHT SYSTEM IN A SMART CITY IMPLEMENTING IOT CONCEPT

Electrical Engineering

In the present field technologies, the main considerations are automation, power consumption and cost effectiveness. Automation is intended to reduce man power with the help of intelligent systems. Power saving is the main consideration forever as the source of the power is getting diminished due to various reasons. This paper illustrates the designing of a smart street light scheme with IoT based monitoring and thus executing the advanced development in embedded systems. A smart street lighting infrastructure includes Internet Protocol connectivity via gateways, which enables remote management of individual lights by monitoring environmental conditions, such as light, fault and pollution level. By means of monitoring each and every street light such as power failure, bulb damage and circuitry problems can be detected by monitoring whether the light is working or not and check the status of the sunlight and the artificial lamp (street lamp) by using LDR as light sensor. More than 50 percentages of energy and maintenance cost can save by adding some intelligence to lights. Also, a demonstration with a real-time prototype model involving costs and implementation procedure has been developed using Internet of Things to visualize the real time updates of street processing and notifying the changes occur.
