Intelligent Street Light Controller with Security System

TLDR: In this paper, the authors have proposed an efficient energy saving method for solar based autonomous street lights and also to provide the security for human during emergency situations, where the street lights are automated with brightness control based on the illumination intensity, tracking of vehicle or human movement.

Abstract: Two distinct issues in India are reduction of the power consumption and security of humans. Lots of initiatives are taken from Indian government to ensure the safety, security for Indian citizen, especially for women and children. This paper aims at efficient energy saving method for solar based autonomous street lights and also to provide the security for human during emergency situations. The street lights are automated with brightness control based on the illumination intensity, tracking of vehicle or human movement. This paper includes the implementation of theft indicator for solar panel and battery of the street lights. The human security is ensured by continuous monitoring of security camera which is kept at street light pole. It supports to call emergency services such as ambulance, fire and police during the emergency situations. The fast alertness can be achieved due to sharing the location using Global Positioning System (GPS). To realize the concept, the hardware is implemented and the results are verified. Thus, the street light energy is saved about 35% in comparison with existing system. Also, the overall security for the streetlights as well as the humans can be achieved intelligently.
