Smart Street Light System Using Raspberry pi

Abstract

Lighting consumes a huge amount of energy, by which improving the efficiency is a significant challenge. Smart street lights which use light-emitting diode (LED) lights for illumination and monitoring is being used for less power consumption and environmental efficiency. As smart street light system with detection of vehicle for the use of traffic is not been widely used, Smart street light system using raspberry pi is an intelligent system of street light which minimizes the problem of electricity power consumption which is caused late at night when the street lights are working. The street light work for nearly 12 hours i.e from evening 18:00 to next day morning 06:00AM which are not majorly used from 23:00PM to 05:00AM. As for the mentioned 6 hours, there are very less vehicles as well as people on the streets and a huge wastage of electricity. Smart street light system using raspberry pi as the proposed system focuses on minimizing the power consumption as well as to detect the velocity or speed of the vehicle. The system is designed using LED, PIR sensor, LDR sensor, SD card, camera module, with all this components which are connected and controlled using raspberry pi. This system will detect the vehicle and it turns the street light to full intensity when the vehicle passes and the street lights are automatically turned to low intensity if not required and it also detects speed and distance of the vehicle from street light.
