Design of Smart Pole Systems Using Internet of Things

Everyday a large amount of energy is consumed in powering street lights, which could have otherwise been utilised in a better manner for other necessary purposes. This paper aims to address this issue by means of a Smart Pole System. In addition to the auto-dimming and auto turn on and off feature of the street lights, various other modules like LoRaWAN, GPRS, a Smart Display to monitor the concentration of air pollutants, temperature and humidity, have also been implemented atop smart street lighting systems to make a "Smart Pole System". The paper is structured as follows: Section I encompasses a brief introduction of the chosen domain and topic, the existing systems along with our proposed model - A Smart Pole System. Section II gives the literature review of our proposed system, with the help of the system flow, the components required for its implementation, and the working of the whole system along with block diagrams and flowcharts. Section III highlights the various advantages and disadvantages of the Smart Pole System. Section IV provides the necessary results, observation and inferences drawn from the system. Finally, Section V presents the conclusion drawn from this project and the future scope of our proposed system.
