Street Light Automation, Controlling and Monitoring with the help of iot

1. Parallel Street Lights
Automation, Monitoring
and Controlling

2. PROBLEM STATEMENT DEFINITION:
• Automate street light based on light availability
• Use Raspberry Pi as gateway
• Use ESP 8266 as node
• Manual and automatic powering
• Should be able to monitor and control
• Develop suitable web and app interface for the same

3. EXISTING METHOD
• Conventional manual system uses physical switches which are turned ON in
the evening and OFF in the morning
• Current automated system are based on time
Disadvantages of Existing System
Manual Switching
More Energy Consumption
Not effective for changing seasons

4. Proposed solution
• Light intensity based street light
• Works on Two modes
• Manual and Automatic
• Can be monitor and control using web or mobile interface
Advantages of proposed solution
Energy efficient and longer life
Changes according to seasons
Reduces manual labour and maintenance
Notifies on LED repair

9. Current scope in Market
• 315 million conventional street lights around the world
• Which would grow to 400 million by 2020
• US, UK and China are the leading market
• In India, Andhra Pradesh and Rajasthan have the largest
requirement
• Growing role in cities around the world
• Market remains young

11. Future advancements
• At nights, excess speed of motorists can be indicated by proper traffic
speed sensors and reducing 5% lighting.
• Solar panels and batteries can be used alternate source of energy
• Fault detection alarm
• Automation based on motion detection as well
