    Street Light That Glows On Detecting Vehicle Movement Using Solar

    Uploaded by

    Manish Khalia
    This system provides a solution for energy saving in street lights by using sensors to detect approaching vehicles. Street lights ahead of an approaching vehicle will switch on, and lights behind the vehicle will switch off as it passes. Alternatively, lights can remain at a low 10% intensity except when a vehicle is detected. Sensors detect vehicle movement and send commands to a microcontroller to control LED street lights. This dynamic intensity control helps save significant energy compared to traditional always-on street lighting.

    Street light that glows on detecting vehicle movement using solar

    ABSTRACT
    This proposed system provides a solution for energy saving. This is achieved by sensing an
    approaching vehicle and then switches ON a block of street lights ahead of the vehicle. As the
    vehicle passes by, the trailing lights switch OFF automatically. Thus, we save a lot of energy. So
    when there are no vehicles on the highway, then all the lights remain OFF. However, there is
    another mode of operation where instead of switching OFF the lights completely, they remain
    ON with 10% of the maximum intensity of the light. As the vehicle approaches, the block of
    street lights switch to 100% intensity and then as the vehicle passes by, the trailing lights revert
    back to 10% intensity again. High intensity discharge lamp (HID) presently used for urban street
    light are based on principle of gas discharge, thus the intensity is not controllable by any voltage
    reduction. White Light Emitting Diode (LED) based lamps are soon replacing the HID lamps in
    street light. Intensity control is also possible by Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) generated by
    the microcontroller. Sensors used on either side of the road senses vehicle movement and sends
    logic commands to microcontroller to switch ON/OFF the LEDs. Thus this way of dynamically
    changing intensity ON/OFF helps in saving a lot of energy. The project uses a PIC series
    microcontroller.

    INTRODUCTION

    The proposed system consists of Atmega8 microcontroller, LDR, PIR sensor and RTC. This
    system controls the street lights using light dependent resistor and PIR sensor. Street lights are
    switched on depending on the intensity of the Sun light on LDR. If the intensity of Sunlight on
    light dependent resistor is low, its resistance value is high. This value increases and becomes
    high when it is completely in dark. This resistance value decides when the street lights are
    required to switch ON.

    1
    As the resistance value is maximum in the midnights, real time clock comes into the play. The
    controller checks peak time during which there is no traffic and switch OFF the lights. When
    there is any vehicle on the road, it is detected by the PIR sensor.

    Whenever PIR sensor is detected it just indicates the microcontroller to switch on the street
    lights. Then lights are switched on for 2 to 3 minutes and switched off automatically.

    Another way to this approach is, one can maintain minimum intensity without completely
    switching off the lights by using PWM and switch them on to maximum intensity whenever it
    detects the vehicle. But in this article the circuit is designed in such a way that lights are
    completely switched OFF and will be switched ON only when there is any vehicle.
