Abstract
Nowadays, street lighting is an essential part of a city’s infrastructure. and with the increase of urbanization, the number of streets increased rapidly with high traffic density. This led to increase in number of street lights and investment associated with them. Furthermore, Power consumption is increased for street illumination purposes which engendered big energy cost for the municipal so We propose to build a smart street lights to reduce the consumption of energy, controlling the light intensity and also preventing safety issues associated with blackouts. The proposed street lighting system consists of four individual systems. Those systems are : PV system , sun-tracking solar panel system, traffic density based light intensity control system and GSM system these systems are combined together to ensure higher energy efficiency
The purpose of PV system is to convert sun light to electricity ,the sun-tracking system is to keep the solar-panel aligned to the sun perpendicularly all over the day to ensure maximum solar-energy storage ,we have light intensity controller to minimize the consumption And we have GSM system to reduce the danger of thief and maintenance thing.
