Street Light Automatic Intensity Controller

This document presents a project to develop an automatic street light intensity controller using Arduino. The controller aims to conserve energy by dimming streetlights during daylight hours and when no motion is detected at night. It uses an LDR to sense light levels and IR sensors to detect vehicle motion. When a vehicle is detected, the LED intensity is increased. This allows energy savings by reducing unnecessary lighting. The project has advantages like energy savings, low maintenance costs, and automatic operation without manual control. It also leaves room for future improvements like incorporating solar power.

Introduction
In ancient times, gas-fired lamps were used, now they are
replaced by electric lamps which are durable, and the procedure
to operate to switch on and off pretty automatic today. Streetlight
today on roads and highways provides numerous benefits, it
offers safety at night and comfort during dark hours, commuting,
or taking a walk around. But, the way automatic street lights
operate is a matter of concern for the users and its society as a
whole, raising concern about the resources used and wasted
accordingly.
AIM AND OBJECTIVE
In the world of new technology and innovation, in some parts of our country, streetlights
are still operated manually by the local officials of a town, village, or city. While streetlights
are manually switched on and off, many times they are left on during broad daylight.
Streetlight uses power in several trillion kWh. It has high consumption which means a high
amount of energy is generated and which results in a high level of toxic emissions causing
harm to nature and the atmosphere. Secondly, maintenance is costly and time-consuming,
if one of the components is a faulty of streetlight, how can a network operator mend it with
replacement in an efficient time limit. The amount of bills corporation pays are hefty and
causes a large sum of money as the streetlight is unmetered load.

The main object of this project is to conserve energy when not in use; it will reduce the
power consumption when the function of the streetlight is dormant during daylight.
Moreover during the night time also the amount of power used will be determined

by object detection, dimming the intensity of light when not in need.

Function and Features
In smart streetlight, Arduino is the heart of this project. It controls monitors and implementation of all the
functions and application. LDR is connected to Arduino and a power supply is connected to support the
circuit, leds are connected in line and between each led IR sensor is connected for motion detection.
Through motion detection Intensity of lights are managed and control by Arduino in which programing will
be done.

This project is about Smart Street light, street light will turn on while the vehicle is passing through it. Here
we are using 4 IR sensors that sense the position of the vehicle; each IR sensor controls an LED. When the
vehicle passes by a particular IR sensor it senses the position of the vehicle and gives its signal to the
Arduino board and it will turn on the LED. We are using LDR so during daytime andstreetlights are off and
during night time they will turn on but will be very dim, as the IR sensor will sense the position of a vehicle
approaching the LED brightness will magnify automatically.

Work in Progress and Final Output
Advantages
Some of the main advantages of them mainly include:

➢ No need to control manually

➢ Energy-saving, a bunch of LEDs reduces the cost

➢ A lifetime of street lights can be increased, detection of vehicle

➢ Good stability

➢ Sensitivity is high

➢ Based on the light intensity it works completely automatic

➢ The design is very simple with components and intelligent street lights
Future Scope
This project basically uses the power from the external power source (battery),
instead of supplying an external power source it can generate and store its own
power with the help of solar energy. We can develop a solar street light system
with an automatic street light intensity controller. The energy from sunlight can be
stored; it can be converted from dc voltage to ac voltage using a sun tie converter.
The ac voltage can be rectified and used in the circuit. This technique will enable
us to harvest solar energy in an efficient way for the operation and also for
providing power to the circuit.
