SMART STREET LIGHT

Abstract: This paper appeals to an effective way of saving electricity and does not required human labour. The lights are switched ON throughout the night time even when there are no vehicles on the road. This leads to lots of energy consumption. A method is proposed to overcome this issue where the street lights are not switched ON or OFF fully. The street light will glow with minimum intensity when there is no vehicle movement. If there is a vehicle movement, it is sensed and the street light will glow with full intensity automatically. IR sensor senses the vehicle movements. The control signal of sensor has been fed to the Arduino.

Keywords: IR sensors, LDR, Arduino, Vehicle movement.
