Smart Street Light Management to Reduce Energy Consumption

Abstract

Smart street light refers to public street light that adapts to movement of pedestrians and vehicles using PIR and IR proximity sensors. The smart streetlight is also referred to as adaptive street lighting, switches OFF when there is no activity but brightens when there is movement. This type of streetlight system is different from traditional or dimmable street lighting that dims at pre-determined times. Solar panels are used to power the lamps. Lamp faults are detected using LDR sensors. Lamp fault and usage can be sent using GSM.
