IoT BASED SMART PUBLIC LIGHTING SYSTEM

We can observe that public lights are lit even during daytime in many areas leading to the inefficient usage and wastage of power consumption. Even though energy efficient LEDs are being used still in many places’ timer controlled or manual turning on/off mechanisms are being employed to operate the lights which proved to be ineffective in saving energy. Hence using an IoT based system including solar panel to dynamically control the intensity of the lights will not only help to minimize the power consumption but also including a fault detection capability will help in real time monitoring of the lighting infrastructure and tracking the location using web application interface thereby reduces the maintenance time for repairing.
