IOT BASED STREET LIGHT AUTOMATION SYSTEM

Abstract

Energy conservation and efficient resource utilization have become critical challenges in today’s rapidly urbanizing world. Street lighting systems consume a significant portion of a city’s electrical energy, and in many cases, lights remain on even when not required, leading to unnecessary wastage. The IoT-Based Street Light Automation System provides an intelligent solution by automatically controlling the operation of street lights based on environmental and motion parameters. Using light-dependent resistors (LDRs) and motion sensors (PIR), the system detects ambient light and the movement of vehicles or pedestrians to determine when lights should be turned on or off. The IoT integration enables remote monitoring and control of the lighting network through cloud platforms. This system helps municipalities reduce electricity consumption, minimize maintenance costs, and promote sustainable urban development. With real-time data logging and analytics, administrators can monitor energy usage and detect faulty lights. The project demonstrates a practical, scalable, and ecofriendly approach to smart city infrastructure
