Pedestrian Aware Automatic Street Light Using Motion Sensor, LabVIEW and ZigBee

Street light, a raised source of light that is commonly used along walkways and streets when the surrounding turns dark. Conventional street lighting systems in areas with a low frequency of passersby are ON most of the night without purpose. The consequence is that a large amount of power is wasted meaninglessly. ZigBee based Automatic Street light system is smart and provides a safe night time environment for all road users including pedestrians. The smart Street light can reduce energy consumption and maintenance costs and also helps to reduce crime activities up to certain limit. This system would provide a remote access for streetlight maintenance and control. It also discusses an intelligent system that controls ON/OFF/DIMMING considering movement of vehicle or pedestrian at night. An automatic streetlight system is designed with the help of ZigBee modules which can help in detection of faulty lights and control it. For monitoring purpose, a graphical user interface (GUI) is created.
