Smart solar street light using WiFi, IR motion sensor and LDR for the smart city

Abstract

Smart Solar Street Light is the fully automated street light, which aim is to reduce the power consumption by automatically switch on/off the lights and transfer the saved energy to other neighbour street lights. This paper gives the solution to two problems: First light will on/off according to the vehicle movement on the road and Second Lights will be automatically on/off by sensing the day/night. This automation of street lights do not need the human intervention and saved energy will be redirected to other poles or it can be used in other work. At the same time status of the street lights, battery life and other information are shared by the server using the Wi-Fi module integrated with the poles. Sensing of vehicle/day/night will be done by the sensors and program will run in Ardunio Uno R3 microcontroller. The sensors sense the vehicle on the road and switch on the lights but lights will be switched off when vehicle passes the pole. So, this paper will discuss lots of situation and accordingly the Smart Street Lights work.
