Efficient Illumination: Arduino-Based Street Light Automation for Energy Savings

This research introduces an innovative Arduino-based solution to address energy wastage in street lighting, which activates lights autonomously in the presence of vehicles or pedestrians. The system, leveraging PIR sensors for vehicle detection and LDRs for day-night differentiation, dynamically adjusts LED brightness, ensuring optimal energy utilization. This dual-sensor approach extends the lifespan of street lamps and contributes to a more environmentally friendly urban landscape. The primary objective is to trigger and promote selective street lights, thereby promoting significant energy savings and cost reductions and a sustainable lighting infrastructure tailored to diverse community needs. This research addresses the imperative of resource conservation amid unprecedented population growth and escalating energy demand, offering a pioneering solution for metropolitan areas.
