Energy Efficient Street Light Controlling System on Detecting Vehicle Movement using Arduino Microcontroller in Comparison with 8051 Microcontroller

The major aim of the research is an energy efficient street light controlling system on detecting vehicle movement using an arduino microcontroller in comparison with 8051 microcontroller based systems. Materials and Methods: There are two sample groups: an arduino microcontroller and an 8051 microcontroller with 20 samples. The sample size is calculated using G power with pre-test power of 80 % and the alpha value is 0.05 (error rate). Results: From the research, the arduino microcontroller has 95.88 % of energy efficiency, whereas the energy efficiency of a 8051 microcontroller is only 81.42 %. The novel vehicle movement detection outperforms the traditional street light control system. There is a statistical difference in the novel vehicle movement detection and traditional street light signal systems (p < 0.05). The significance value is 0.001. Conclusion: A novel vehicle movement detection using an arduino microcontroller performs significantly better than a 8051 microcontroller based systems.
