DEPLOYMENT OF SMART STREET LIGHTING SYSTEM USING SENSORS

The main aim of this work is to reduce energy consumption and at the same time to create an automated system which eliminates manual operations that often lead to mechanical faults and breakdown of equipment. Technological advancement has brought about the need for automation in almost every system. Machines and devices do not need to be manually controlled. Automated systems present the user with ease and comfort as well as reduced cost in the long run. The smart street lighting system is the integration of automation into the generic street lighting system across the world. The system is packed with motion detectors, light detector and an online management system for remote monitoring and control. The system compares savings in energy consumption between Light Emitting Diode (LED) and halogen bulbs. Result shows that LED bulb saves 86.67% of energy compared to halogen bulb while implementing the smart street lighting system yields 14.59% reduction in energy cost consumption.
