    AUTOMATIC STREET LIGHT INTENSITY

    CONTROLL BASED ON TRAFFIC MOVEMENT IN


    HIGHWAYS
    Abstract:
    The Embedded Technology is now in its prime and the wealth of Knowledge available
    is mind-blowing. Embedded System is a combination of hardware and software. The project is
    designed to detect vehicle movement on highways to switch on only a block of street lights ahead of the
    vehicle, and to dim the trailing lights to save energy. This proposed system provides a solution for energy
    saving achieved by sensing an approaching vehicle, and then to switch on a block of street lights ahead of
    the vehicle. As the vehicle passes by, the trailing lights get dim automatically by Pulse Width Modulation
    (PWM) with the help of the microcontroller. High intensity discharge lamps (HID) presently used for
    urban street lighting are based on the principle of gas discharge wherein the light intensity cannot be
    controlled. Light Emitting Diode (LED) based lamps are soon replacing the HID lamps in street lights.
    The intensity of LED lights can be controlled by using PWM. To prevent errors or any
    communication between lampposts we can use zigbee wireless protocol as a backup
    .And also with respective direction and with respective path we need to letting glow
    the lights and make to helpful to the vehicles .Maintain the lights intensity conroll
    according to their speed of the vehicles

    Introduction:
    . Embedded technology plays a major role in integrating the various functions associated
    with it. This needs to tie up the various sources of the Department in a closed loop system. This
    proposal greatly reduces the manpower, saves time and operates efficiently without human
    interference. This project puts forth the first step in achieving the desired target. With the advent
    in technology, the existing systems are developed to have in built intelligence. Maintain wireless
    communication among lamppost control terminals using zigbee protocol

    Existing System

    Proposed System

    In the existing system, the street lights


    are switched on and off manually by
    the officer.
    This involves a disadvantage in the way
    that at many times the public forget to

    We propose a new intelligent system to


    control the street light depending upon
    environment light intensity.
    To maintain communication between
    lamps by using zigbee wireless protocol

    switch it OFF. This is overcome in our


    proposed system.

    as abackup
    The LDR sensor is used to detect the

    Drawbacks of existing system:

    environment light intensity

    Complex circuit
    Manual intervention needed
    Energy losses

    Advantage of proposed system:

    No need of Human intervention


    Fully automated & Power saving
    Fast response
    Easy to install

    Working principle:

    In our proposed system, we make use of the property of LDR, which is its resistance
    varies with respective to the light intensity. In our proposed system the night and day is identified
    using LDR. In addition we are going to provide the wheather(climate) information for letting to
    know how to perform according to the time . This information is transferred to the
    microcontroller which in turn decides whether it is day or night or the light intensity is less or
    enough and switches on or off the street light. With in this microcontroller we will generate

    pulse width modulation(pwm) to control the dimness or brighter based on the duty
    cycle (is defined as the ratio between the pulse duration and the period

    of a rectangular

    waveform.)percentage.With the help of the Array IR sensors we can make a easy path for
    glowing the lights with out making any mistakes and confusions.In rainy season also we can
    provide best performance by providing rain guard sensor.

    Minimizing errors in IR sensor operation. Inaccurate vehicle sensing can cause problems on the
    road as the light intensities may vary. The infrared rays are not visible to human eyes and the IR
    transmitters and receivers must be in line of sight.
