IoT Enabled Smart Lighting System for Rural Areas

Abstract

The main consideration in the present field technologies are Automation, Power consumption and cost effectiveness. Automation is intended to reduce man power with the help of intelligent systems. Power saving is the main consideration forever as the source of the power (Thermal, Hydro etc.) are getting diminished due to various reasons. As we all know that energy consumption has increased a lot and sources of energy are limited so in order to meet the increasing demand of energy use of renewable sources of energy is a must. The project aims to describe a method for modifying street light illumination by using sensors at minimum electrical energy consumption. When presence is detected, all surrounding street lights glow at their brightest mode, else they stay in the dim mode. LED bulbs shall be implemented as they are better than conventional incandescent bulbs in every way. This shall reduce heat emissions, power consumption, maintenance and replacement costs and carbon dioxide emissions. Coupled with SSSLS (Solar Smart Street Light System), massive energy-savings are envisioned. Also, a demonstration with a real-time proto type model involving costs and implementation procedure has been developed using internet of things (IoT) to visualize the real time updates of street processing and notifying the changes occur.
