Remote Control System of High Efficiency & Intelligent Street

Lighting Using a Zigbee Network of Devices & Sensors

INTRODUCTION:
The proposed project of controlling street light system can optimize
management and efficiency of street lighting systems. It uses micro controller and
ZigBee based wireless devices which enable more efficient street lamp-system
management.
Lighting systems, especially in the public sector, are still designed
according to the old standards of reliability and they often do not take advantage of
the latest technological developments. Here in this project controls the whole
operation by controller, zigbee and some sensors. This project allows signicant
cost savings and a greater respect for the environment.

DESCRIPTION:
In this project all the electronic components are controlled by Micro
Controller, which is heart of the project. Here in this project we are making
automatically turn on the LED lamps in evening by using LDR sunlight sensor.
Basically LDR is a light dependent resistor which varies its value depends on the
light. By using microcontroller we are making this operation. The LED lamps are
controlling by the LED driver circuit. Here another sensor is using for the purpose
of detecting the movement of people, according on this sensors output the
controller turn on the LED lamps. If any LED lamps are not turn on after getting
outputs from the sensor then the controller crosschecks the lamps by another LDR

sensor, which is placed near to Lamp and sends the information through ZIGBEE
(wireless connection) to the PC for further operation.
In this project we can process the operation by manually also by using the
emergency switch. It is only using when the lamps are needed in a day, also then
we can make this operation. Here LCD is using to display the information of the
project. The whole process of this project is observed through the JAVA application
in PC.

NOTE:
Depending on micro-controller architecture there will be changes in block
diagram, I/O lines, softwares & IDE which are being used to program the
microcontroller and the coding will be done using Embedded C.
The accuracy of the instruments/components vary as the academic point of
view the components are made use.

2. Saves Energy

DISADVANTAGES:
1. Initial will be high because this unit is installed in each and every street light

FUTURE SCOPE:
In future we can extend with a camera, because if any person damages the
light can be captured and sent to Server.
