Intelligent Street Light System Automated Street Lights Based on Vehicle Detection

Abstract

Sensors have become a day-to-day feature in our lives. Nowadays most mobile phones are equipped with fingerprint sensors, motion sensors & the newly arrived iris scanners. These sensors are provided as a form of biometrics to the device. But sensors can have a lot of other applications. One such application is to control various electronic gadgets according to the need of the user. Controlling street lights on detection of a vehicle where the traffic density is low is a great example of it. Sensor based system to detect a vehicle & turning on the respective street lights can help save a lot of city?s electricity budget. The main aspect of this project is to perform timely functionalities as soon as the sensor detects the vehicle. So, on detection of a vehicle the system triggers the next few street lights to turn on in an orderly sequence. As soon as the vehicle passes by, the street lights are turned off after a certain amount of time & a lot of energy is saved.
