Iot based smart and adaptive lighting in street lights

Abstract

The system is mainly used for smart and weather adaptive lighting in street lights. The project is implemented with smart embedded system that controls the street light based on detection of sunlight. During the night time the street light gets automatically ON and during the day time it gets automatically OFF. The ON/OFF can be accessed anywhere anytime through internet. A camera is placed on top of the street light to track the actions performed on the road where the footages are stored in a server. In addition to this, a panic button is placed on the pole, in-case of any emergency or danger, the person in danger can press this button which raises an alarm at the nearby police station. Whenever the panic button is pressed, the footage at that time recorded by the camera is sent directly to the cloud account. The access of the account is given to the particular police station by which they can view the incident's spot. Each area's street lights are connected to the particular area's police station and each of them has a cloud accessible account. The manual operation using GSM technology is completely eliminated. Thus the system is mainly designed to ensure safety and to prevent energy wastage.
