MINI PROJECT
Energy conservation is an important matter as resources are decreasing at an alarming rate and this
would create a lot of problems for the next generations. To overcome from this issue, a proper energy
saving method and automatic lighting control needs to be implemented. This work proposes a model for
modifying Street lights illumination using sensors at minimum electrical consumption as well as
elimination of manual operation. In this work the LED lights are used as streetlights, LDR sensor is used
for detecting light intensity for differentiating between daytime and night-time and IR sensors are used to
sense vehicle movements. If presence is not detected, all nearby streetlights remain in the dim mode,
which is 30% intensity for pedestrians, and only illuminate at 100% intensity when presence is detected.
LED bulbs shall be used as they are better than conventional incandescent bulbs in every way. The
intensity of LED can be controlled using PWM techniques. Through this proposed System the overall
energy being utilized now-a-days for lighting is minimized. The automatic control of lighting is required to
control the complex lighting system due to growth of cities and the standard of living.

SYSTEM WORKFLOW
Vehicle detection: Sensors detect the presence and movement of vehicles.
Data Transmission: Sensor data is transmitted to the control unit via a
wireless network
Light Adjustment:
The control unit analyzes the data and adjusts the
light intensity and timing accordingly.
Illumination:
LED lights provide optimal illumination based on vehicle movement and traffic patterns.
ADVANTAGES
Energy Efficiency
Lights only illuminate when
needed, reducing energy
consumption.
Safety Brighter illumination enhances visibility and
safety for drivers and pedestrians.
Cost Reduction
Lower energy consumption leads to significant cost savings for
municipalities and businesses.
DISADVANTAGES
Initial Investment Higher upfront cost
compared to traditional
street lighting systems.
