Automatic street light control system

Abstract

This paper is concerned with the automation in street lighting system. The projected work describes the automatic working of street lights according to seasons and timing of a day. The system comprises of microcontroller, GPS, RTC to implement the work. Projected work overcomes the drawbacks of previous systems like is error in timing, by using the information about time with the help of GPS. Microcontroller takes the data and accordingly operation of lighting on/off is performed. RTC comes into action in case of any interruption. The system works without any operator. The developed have some advantages like energy saving as lights are on according to timings and increase in life of luminaire.
