IOT based Street Light Controlling Mechanism

Abstract

Internet of things has brought a revolution to the world of connectivity and wireless technology. The main idea is to connect everything by wireless technology. Through Internet of things everything can be linked using different types of sensor designed for different purposes. The main focus of the paper in to propose a system in which the street light can be automated and the data from the street light can be transferred through internet. This smart street light system the lights can be automatically turn on and off according to the environmental situation. In this a light dependent sensor and a humidity & temperature sensor are used to sense the environmental conditions. The street light system would automatically turn on and off if the light intensity in the environment falls or rises above a specified temperature. The humidity and the temperature sensor are used to detect the temperature and humidity of the surroundings so that the colour of the street can be changed to provide a better visibility under some specified weather conditions. The whole system can be powered by an artificial power source, such as solar panels.
