Abstract



This project aims at designing and executing the advanced development in embedded systems for energy saving of street lights with light depending resistor.

Nowadays, human has become too busy and he is unable to find time even to switch the lights wherever not necessary.

This can be seen more effectively in the case of street lights. The present system is like, the street lights will be switched on in the evening before the sun sets and they are switched off the next day morning after there is sufficient light on the roads.

But the actual timings for these street lights to be switched on are when there is absolute darkness. With this, the power will be wasted up to some extent.

This project gives the best solution for electrical power wastage. Also the manual operation of the lighting system is completely eliminated.

In our project we are using LDR, which varies according to the amount of light falling on its surface, this give an indication for us whether it is a day/night time.

In the present project street lights are taken into consideration where the above discussed factors are rectified in them.

This is achieved with the help of an embedded system. By using this as the basic principle we can design centralized intelligent system for the perfect usage of streetlights in any place.
