IOT Based Smart Electric Pole

The conventional street lighting maintenance and control system still remains ancient in this era of revolution and technological advancement. The evolution of the Internet of Things (IoT) has been a benevolent cornerstone for such revolutionary giants of the web world. Thus we use this highly coveted technology to cater to the maintenance and control processes of street lighting system. The proposed system enables maintenance and control of the street lights and makes it easier to monitor and control its operation. The system will detect faults in the street lights to intimate the control room to take immediate action. This application will have the following features viz. automatic circuit fault detection, pole inclination detection and light sensing. It aims to design a smart electric pole which is free of any human intervention and provides quick maintenance functionality. In the current scenario, the street lights are switched ON at a pre-decided time every evening and is switched OFF the next morning. It also requires regular check-ups for electric pole defect. This project gives a solution for fast repairing and maximizes the ability to control the street lamps remotely and efficiently [2].
