1. INTRODUCTION
1.1. BACKGROUND:
Automation systems have the advantage over the manual systems because it
increases the productivity, efficiency, and reliability, and minimizes the usage of
resources to save energy, and reduce the operating cost etc. These automation
systems play an essential role in the term “smart home” to make our daily life
more comfortable, and to facilitate users from ceiling fans to ovens, and in other
applications. Among all exciting applications, streetlights play a vital role in our
environment and play a critical role in providing light for safety during night-time
travel. In this scenario, when the streetlights are in a working position over the
whole night, which consumes much energy and reduce the lifetime of the
electrical appliances such as a light-emitting diode (LED) lamp, incandescent light
bulb, gas discharge lamp, and high-intensity discharge lamps. Especially in cities’
streetlights, it is a severe power consuming factor and the most significant energy
expenses for a city. In this regard, an automation system is required to control the
lights according to needs. The traditional light system has been limited to two
options: ON and OFF only, which are not efficient because these kinds of
operations meant power loss due to continuing to work on maximum voltage.
With the negligence of the operator or by some other technical problems,
streetlights are continuously kept ‘ON’, even when there is no light required on
the streets and this leads to the wastage of electricity. Hence, the wastage of power
from streetlights is one of the noticeable power losses, but with the use of
automation, it leads to many new methods of energy and money saving. In this
regard, controlling the lighting system using a light dependent resistor (LDR),
infrared radiation (IR) obstacle avoidance sensor, and Arduino, together are
proposed in the past. In previous literature, the street light systems are based on
LDR, and most of them are passive infrared receiver-based systems that are
controlled with timers and analogue circuits. Sun tracking sensors are also used to
power OFF the streetlights by the detection of the sunlight luminance.
Furthermore, streetlight control with the use of solar energy, and ZigBee based
system to control streetlights have also been implemented. Distinguished from
turning the electricity ON/OFF, another approach is introduced to DIM (half of
the maximum brightness) the light during the hours where traffic is sparse, which
might be useful for reducing the power consumption, but with the electric bulbs
under a continuous usage condition.
2: The existing lighting system consumes more power and is not convenient to use.
3: Regular use of streetlamps like HPS, HPM with full intensity causes to decrease the
lifetime of lamps and wastage of energy.
1.3. OBJECTIVES
The main objective of this project is to implement Arduino based Automatic Street
Lightning system. As the traffic decreases slowly during late-night hours, the intensity
gets reduced progressively till morning to save energy and thus, the streetlights switch
on at the dusk and then switch off at the dawn, automatically. The process repeats
every day.
The main objectives of automatic street lighting system are given below:
1) The street light control circuit can be used in normal roads, highways, express ways
etc.
2) The project can also be used in parking areas of malls, hotels, industrial lighting,
etc.
3) If the lighting system implements all LED lights, the cost of the maintenance can
be reduced as the life span and durability of LEDs is higher than Neon based lights
which are normally used as streetlights.
4) As the lights are automatically turned ON or OFF, huge amount of energy can be
saved.
5) This system less costly, less installation and maintenance cost and more efficient as
compared to the others system.
2.LITERATURE REVIEW
P. Nithya et al, in their work on Design of Wireless Framework for Energy Efficient
Street Light Automation suggested an Intelligent management of the lamp posts by
sending data to a central station by ZigBee wireless communication. With the
suggested system, maintenance can be easily and efficiently planned from the central
station, allowing additional savings.
Srikanth M et al, in their work on ZigBee Based Remote Control Automatic Street
Light System. This streetlight control system helps in energy savings, detection of
faulty lights and maintenance time and increase in life span of system.
Anila Devi Y et al, worked on GSM Based Remote Control System of High
Efficiency Intelligent Street Lighting System Using a Zigbee Network of Devices and
Sensor. New intelligent and smart street light system is designed with wireless
technology for maintenance and network of sensors for controlling. In which, they
used high efficiency LED lamp which consumes less energy and has large life span,
and which are supplied with renewable energy of solar panels.
3.RELATED THEORY
3.3. IR sensor
An infrared sensor is an electronic device that emits to sense some aspects of the
surroundings. An IR sensor can measure the heat of an object as well as detects the
motion as well as the presence of an object due to intervention or interruption. These
types of sensors measure only infrared radiation, rather than emitting it that is called
as a passive IR sensor. Usually in the infrared spectrum, all the objects radiate some
form of thermal radiations. These types of radiations are invisible to our eyes that can
be detected by an infrared sensor. The emitter is simply an IR LED (Light Emitting
Diode), and the detector is simply an IR photodiode which is sensitive to IR light of
the same wavelength as that emitted by the IR LED. When IR light falls on the
photodiode, the resistances, and these output voltages, change in proportion to the
magnitude of the IR light received.
LDRs are made from semiconductor materials to enable them to have their light
sensitive properties. Many materials can be used, but one popular material for these
photo resistors is cadmium sulphide, CdS, although the use of these cells is now
restricted in Europe because of environmental issues with the use of cadmium.
3.5. LED
A light-emitting diode (LED) is a two-lead semiconductor light source. It is p-n
junction diode that emits light when activated. The long terminal is positive, and the
short terminal is negative. When a suitable current is applied to the leads, electrons
are able to recombine with electron holes within the device, releasing energy in the
form of photons. This effect is called electroluminescence, and the colour of the light
(corresponding to the energy of the photon) is determined by the energy band gap of
the semiconductor. LEDs are typically small (less than 1 mm2) and integrated optical
components may be used to shape the radiation pattern. LEDs are versatile
semiconductor with number of attributes which make them perfect for most
applications. Their features include:
1) Long Life: LEDs can last over 100,000 hours (10+ years) if used at rated
current.
2) No annoying flicker as we experience with fluorescent lamps.
3) LEDs are impervious to heat, cold, shock and vibration.
4) LEDs do not contain breakable glass.
5) Solid-State, high shock and vibration resistant.
6) Extremely fast turn on/off times.
7) Low power consumption puts less load on the electrical systems increasing
battery life.
Here we have used the most common 5mm white light. White LEDs are perfect for
replacing inefficient incandescent bulbs in night lights and path lights.
SPECIFICATION:
Intensity: 28,500mcd
3.7. LCD MONITOR: A liquid crystal display (LCD) monitor is a computer monitor
or display that uses LCD technology to show clear images and is found mostly in
laptop computers and flat panel monitors. This technology has replaced the traditional
cathode ray tube (CRT) monitors, which were the previous standard and once were
considered to have better picture quality than early LCD variants. With the
introduction of better LCD technology and its continuous improvement, LCD is now
the clear leader over CRT, in terms of colour and picture quality, not to mention
capabilities for large resolutions. Also, LCD monitors may be made much more
cheaply than CRT monitors.

ii) If the converted value is less than the threshold value (i.e., which means it is
daytime) then, all the streetlights should remain in off state.
iii) During the night-time, the signal provided by a LDR is converted into discrete
values by arduino uno and compares it with the threshold value. If it is higher than the
threshold value, then all the lights on the street turns ‘ON’ with the low value of
intensity. If the IR sensor is blocked by any vehicles or any objects movement, the
streetlights surrounding the area will be glowed with the high value of intensity and
the serial monitor connected to the system shows the number of objects passed
through the sensor. This process continues until it is daytime

A prototype of this project was designed by using Arduino UNO, IR Sensor, LCD
and LED lights. This project is based on Automation system which no longer needs
personnel operator to operate street lighting system. This system is able to control the
streetlights according to the intensity of light (i.e., sun light) and the movement of
vehicles on the road. During daytime, all IR sensors and streetlights are turned “OFF”
and LCD monitor prints ‘DAY TIME’ on monitor. However, as the sun light fades
out (or, during night-time), whereby the LDR sensor senses the intensity of light and
provides analogue value to the Arduino Uno. When the value of analogue signal
provided by LDR sensor is higher than the threshold value then, lcd monitor prints
‘NIGHT-TIME’ on monitor. The IR sensors (IR1, IR2, IR3, IR4) start to detect the
movement of vehicles and pedestrians. When IR1 sensor detects any movement then
LED light (L1) glows and it delays for 5 seconds while ARDUINO counts total
objects passed through the IR1 and lcd prints the counted value on monitor.
Accordingly, when IR2, IR3, IR4 detect any movement then LED (L2), LED(L3),
LED(L4) glow respectively and delays for 5 seconds. This process continues through
the loop until the analogue value given by LDR is less then threshold value that is
defined in Arduino Uno (i.e., daytime).
Assuming the street lighting functioning completely 12 hours within 7.00 p.m. until
7.00 a.m.
Number of lights = 4
= 576 kWh/month
Number of lights = 4
= 288 kWh/month
= 7.2 kWh
= 7.2 units
= 216 kWh/month
Energy saved between LED for automation system with HPS for public street
lighting:
Energy saved between existing lighting system using LED and automation
system using LED for public street lighting:
= 288-216
72/288 x 100%=25%
From above calculation, by using automatic street lighting system huge amount of
energy consumed by streetlights can be saved. About 25 % of energy consumption
can be saved per month by using automatic street lighting system.

6.CONCLUSION
By using Smart Street light, one can save surplus amount of energy which is done by
replacing sodium vapor lamps by LED and adding an additional feature for security
purposes. It prevents unnecessary wastage of electricity, caused due to manual
switching of streetlights when it’s not required. It provides an efficient and smart
automatic streetlight control system with the help of IR sensors. It can reduce the
energy consumption by 25% as compared to existing system and saves the energy
cost. The system is versatile, extendable, and totally adjustable to user needs.
LAMITATIONS:
The system is now used only for One way traffic in highways.
The Smart light system can be further extended to make the current system in two-
way traffic, making the system more flexible in case of rainy days and introduction of
ways to control the lights through GSM based service.
