Abstract :
This paper describes an advanced automatic street light control system this project is made to replace the conventional use of manual street lights with the energy saving automated street lights without interference from human in the system with utilization of LDR, PIR and a relay module the lightning may be controlled based on the favourable condition in environment automates the brightness of light as the light stay on only under low light conditions and is switched off during daylight the conventional street lights are substituted by automated street lights as they are no more efficient street lights. energy consumption is largely minimized The system employs a Passive Infrared (PIR) motion sensor and a Light Dependent Resistor (LDR) that is the dual sensors sensor to turn street lights automatically on or off depending on the presence of human beings and light levels in the environment. Arduino is employed to control the LEDs output and handle the dual sensors here relay module is also utilized which acts as a switch for the system. The automatic street light system can be implemented in various area like the smart cities in urban region also in industries like smoke detecting industry, park lighting. In urban and rural region street lights play a very crucial role to ensure the safety and security of each individual necessity leads to over use of the street lights the excessive usage of street light leads to wastage of energy the paper suggests automatic street light control system using the Arduino UNO and various other components like the LDR sensor, PIR sensor, a relay module and a 5V battery these will primarily work on the basis of the LDR and PIR sensors the light will be illuminated only in the dark and also when motion will be detected this will assist in reducing the excessive energy usage of the street lights when not needed the aim is to run project on low cost, less man power requirement and save energy.
