Abstract

Nowadays, a rapid advancement in the field of area construction in which large number of streets are paved. As the number of streets increase a large amount of energy is required to provide light to the streets. Street lights is an essential thing in order to improve the human life quality. Life quality implies accidents prevention due the darkness, road safety and providing clear vision.In most of global streets, a traditional street lighting system is utilized to take control of the street lights switching during day (high intensity ) or night (low intensity ). This traditional system is widely used due to the simple and easy construction as well as the long time life of the system. Apart from that, with new era of technological growths, new smart lighting system has been used to control the street light switching. This project aims to develop Street light monitoring and Control using Arduino system which implement various intelligence options. The working principle of the system utilize LED lights and two sensors attached to each light, a LDR is implemented in the system to off the light during day time, however, during darkness, two sensors are employed to detect the presence of the vehicle an send the signal to Arduino to light up the corresponding light for 100% and two surrounding light by 50%. The objectives of the project have been successfully achieved by prototyping a smart street light system which intelligently control the light of the street and hence save cost and energy consumption.
