Intelligent Street Light Management and Monitoring System with IoT Integration

The Internet of Things (IoT) has transformed several urban infrastructure systems, including street lighting. Traditional street lighting systems waste a lot of electricity, highlighting the necessity for energy conservation. The rising cost of electricity, caused by energy inefficiencies, needs more effective power-saving techniques. To resolve this issue, a completely automated street light monitoring system has been developed to improve the efficiency of street light operations. The proposed method uses modern technology, including IoT and sensor technology, to autonomously manage street light switching operations based on real-time situations, such as the presence of pedestrians or automobiles. Using server-based technology, each street light is continuously monitored and managed, leading to effective supervision and significant energy savings. The system makes use of light-emitting diodes (LEDs), which don’t require much electricity. As directional light sources, LEDs may emit light in particular directions, enhancing the performance of streetlamps. Light-dependent resistors (LDRs) can be employed with LED lights to modulate their intensity. The infrared (IR)sensors situated on a single side of the road assess the volume of traffic and provide signals to the LEDs to illuminate the next portion of the road. Furthermore, the sensors identify failures in the streetlights and notify the appropriate electrical board officer via email or message. The proposed solution performed better than existing systems in terms of energy efficiency and operational effectiveness.
