Automatic Street Light management system

Introduction:
The Embedded Technology is now in its prime and the wealth of Knowledge available is
mind-blowing. Embedded System is a combination of hardware and software. Embedded
technology plays a major role in integrating the various functions associated with it. This needs
to tie up the various sources of the Department in a closed loop system. This proposal greatly
reduces the manpower, saves time and operates efficiently without human interference. This
project puts forth the first step in achieving the desired target. With the advent in technology, the
existing systems are developed to have in built intelligence.

Existing System

Proposed System

In the existing system, the street lights

are switched on and off manually by
the officer.
This involves a disadvantage in the way
that at many times the public forget to

We propose a new intelligent system to

control the street light depending upon
environment light intensity.
The LDR sensor is used to detect the
environment light intensity

switch it OFF. This is overcome in our

proposed system.
Drawbacks of existing system:
Complex circuit
Manual intervention needed
Energy losses

Advantage of proposed system:

No need of Human intervention

Fully automated & Power saving
Fast response
Easy to install

Working principle:

In our proposed system, we make use of the property of LDR, which is its resistance
varies with respective to the light intensity. In our proposed system the night and day is identified
using LDR. This information is transferred to the microcontroller which in turn decides whether
it is day or night or the light intensity is less or enough and switches on or off the street light.
