ABSTRACT: Conventional street lighting systems in areas with a low frequency of passersby are online most
of the night without purpose. The consequence is that a large amount of power is wasted meaninglessly. With
the broad availability of flexible-lighting technology like light-emitting diode lamps and everywhere available
wireless internet connection, fast reacting, reliably operating, and power-conserving street lighting systems
become reality. The purpose of this work is to describe the Intelligent Street Lighting (ISL) system, a first
approach to accomplish the demand for flexible public lighting systems.

I. INTRODUCTION
Due to the increase of environmental concerns, lighting control systems will play an important role in
the reduction of energy consumption of the lighting without impeding comfort goals. As mentioned the
energy is the single most important parameter to consider when assessing the impacts of technical
systems on the environment. Energy related emissions are responsible for approximately 80% of air
emissions and central to the most serious global environmental impacts and hazards, including climate
change, acid deposition, smog and particulates. Lighting is often the largest electrical load in offices, but the
cost of lighting energy consumption is low when compared to the personnel costs. Thus its energy saving
potential is often neglected. According to study global grid based electricity consumption for lighting was about
2650 TW in 2005, which was an equivalent of 19% of total global electricity consumption. European office
buildings dedicate about 50% of their electricity for lighting, whereas the share of electricity for lighting is
around 20-30% in hospitals, 15% in factories, 10-15% in schools and 10% in residential buildings..Intelligent
lighting control and energy management system is a perfect solution for energy saving, especially in public
lighting management. It realizes remote on/off and dimming of lights, which can save energy by 40%, save
lights maintenance costs by 50%, and prolong lamp life by 25%. The system application in streetlight control for
each lamp will reduce in streetlight electricity and maintenance cost, and increase availability of street light
The system compromises of server, GUI to display and nodes which are micro controlled processed
with embedded sensors measuring different parameters. Each node in the network is linked to the main server
via a protocol. The analog data sensed by the sensor is converted in digital form, processed by microcontroller
and then sent to the server. The master controls all the slaves .The other nodes sends the data to master and the
master collects the data and further sends to concentrator and server where the data is monitored and on
necessary alterations process it to switch On/Off the nodes devices. This scenario increases life of streetlights,
reduces power consumption, ease of monitoring and controlling and less installation cost are the various
advantages achieved.
II. OBJECTIVES
The objective for this project is to design a smart lighting system which targets the energy saving and
autonomous operation on economical affordable for the streets.
Build an energy saving smart lighting system with integrated sensors and controllers. Design a smart lighting
system with modular approach design, which makes the system scalability and expandability.
Design a smart lighting system which compatibility and scalability with other commercial product and
automation system, which might include more than lighting systems.
III. METHODOLOGY
Firstly, Chips would be made to be installed on the lights. These chips will consist of a micro-controller
along with various sensors like CO2 sensor, fog sensor, light intensity sensor, noise sensor and GSM modules
for wireless data transmission and reception between concentrator and PC. The data from the chips would be
received on a remote concentrator (PC) and the PC would also transmit the controlling action to the chip.
According to the survey of variation in the intensity of light in the field area, efficient programming would be
done to ensure minimum consumption of energy. The emissions in the atmospheres would be detected along
with the consumption of energy and any theft of electricity. The research work is divided in the following
Phases:
3.1 Research
To do a complete field study of a particular location for the existing consumption of energy, emission
levels, cost of set up & maintenance, etc. of that location and design an energy efficient system.

In the LDR module, it consists of two LDR. One of the LDR is install on top of the street lamp for the
checking the day/night status condition. Another LDR is place under the street lamp to monitor and checking the
lamp health status. The results of the LDRs send to microcontroller, where the microcontroller will process the
data and send the data to the transmission module. In the transmission module, there is wireless Xbee that
transmit the data through wireless to the control centre. In the control centre, it will monitors each of the street
lamp status, as well as controlling the operation of the street lamps
function of soft startup, Full ON, Hall ON and OFF is achieved. By setting an example of a 50 W LED pole
head design, the suggested driver has been conducted in order to illustrate the complete process and results,
which shows 72% more energy savings compared with conventional street lighting after 3 month running.
4.3.2 WSN For Intelligent Street Lighting System
In the paper authors propose to apply Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) to intelligent street lighting
system. As a result of such a combination one obtains a system designed to increase functionality of light
installations for a wide range of applications and introduce a platform for new additional services, which meets
current and future user needs. The system is composed of WSN nodes integrated with light sources based on
high power LED diodes, which enable additional services not only directly related to lighting but also new
services as telemetry, monitoring of noise, humidity, temperature, as well as services associated with the road
information systems, intelligent transportation systems and intelligent roads
V. PROBLEM FORMULATION
This system resolves the faulty street lamps issue, where people are rarely taking the initiative to report
faulty street lamps in their locality. With this device, it able to track whenever there is faulty lamps and sends
the data to the control centre. Thus, technician will be able to acknowledge the faulty street lamps at the first
moment and head for the repair.
Another benefit of this system is the cost saving in terms of wiring. The Xbee module will allow the
streets lamps communicate to the control system via wireless. With the wiring method, the high cost of the
construction and material makes the system uneconomical; moreover, the reliability of the system will reduce
too.
Although this system monitors the health of the street lamp status, it did not have other smart feature
whereby controlling the street lamps by automatically turning ON or OFF the lamps. If this feature is apply to
this system, this allow another great energy saving. In addition, any faulty lamp will be automatically turning
OFF which avoid more energy wastage causes by the faulty lamps.
With the application of the lamp illumination control on the system, the lamps are able to turn ON the lights
with low illumination when the surrounding condition needs the low light illumination of the lamps (e.g. rainy
or cloudy day).
There are no data of the return of investment (ROI) of this system, but it may believe that the ROI will
be in less than 8 years. One of the main weaknesses of this system is the device are placed at outdoor, thus,
precaution steps need to be taken whereby the case of the devices must be designed carefully. It must be sealed
or isolated probably to avoid the environmental that could affect the lifespan of the devices.

VIII. WORKING
8.1 Auto Mode
In auto mode, according to the traffic intensity and time of slots and also monitoring the weather
conditions the nodes are being switched on/off .It monitors the need and thus saving power.
It has following four cases:
Preset control on Timer & Preset on Sensor with combination. Description of a prototype of 5 poles.
Case 1: pole2,4-Whenever there is not much demand for intensity the alternate node provides lights. These
settings can be predefined by analyzing the traffic congestion in a particular area and also according to sunset
conditions differing geographically.
Case 2: 1,3,5- Similar reason as above.
Case 3: All the poles are working with 50% intensity.
Case 4: All the nodes are working with full power intensity, during the most traffic congestion or as per the
urgent calls.
IX. CONCLUSION
In this paper Intelligent street lighting system is described that integrates new technologies offering
ease of maintenance and energy savings. The proposed system is appropriate for street lighting in remote as well
as urban areas where traffic is low at times. Along with energy saving it also tackles with the problem of power
theft .It is capable of taking corrective actions in case of unprecedented events of climatic changes
