Automatic Street Lighting System

Abstract

The considerable amount of electrical power is consumed in lighting up the streets in India. However, streets remain deserted for most of the time after night fall, and a minimum frequency of vehicles pass through the street in that duration of time. The conventional lighting system on road and highways is not automatic in India. The volume of traffic and passerby is very through the streets in nighttime, and light is on for the whole night. The larger amount of light is wasted on roads meaninglessly. The same issue can be addressed with the use of automatic or flexible-lighting system technology and LED lamps which can be as solution for power saving, fast, reliable, and efficient in operation to control the amount of light utilization in a street and city. In the paper, the prototype hardware for automatic street light system is being proposed, which will use an Arduino Uno microcontroller and estimates the saving of energy in nighttime.
