An IoT-Based Smart Street Lighting System to Lower Energy Consumption

Smart Lighting System is an automated and intelligent lighting control system that can be deployed across multiple locations or in one location, utilizing various IoT connection protocols, devices, and sensors. The system is able to intelligently adjust to changes in ambient light conditions, traffic patterns, and pedestrian activity through the integration of Internet of Things (IoT) technologies. IoT-enabled sensors are installed in every street light, creating a network that connects to a central control unit. Using real-time data, this system dynamically modifies street light brightness to maximize energy efficiency and improve safety. It provides a simulation and optimization tool for street light placement, considering factors such as street length, light distance, and the number of lights ahead. This tool aids in visualizing the power consumption implications of different configurations, promoting efficient urban planning. Demonstrates the energy-saving potential of the proposed system. As the street light intervals and the number of lights ahead decreases, the optimal street light power significantly reduces, leading to substantial energy savings. The system's ability to dim or turn off lights during low-traffic or well-lit periods contributes to reduced operational costs and enhanced sustainability.
