Light bharat–a smart lighting solution

Abstract

Now-a-days energy efficiency play crucial role in almost all smart systems. Smart Street Lighting forms the important and a valuable asset for the city’s infrastructure that improves the efficiency of the lighting systems and reduces the overall energy consumption in the city. This paper presents the implementation of street lighting system for smart cities. In addition to vehicle detection based street light control, the setup includes a cloud based remote monitoring system for fault detection. The setup uses Amazon Web Services (AWS) through MQTT protocol for street light management system.
