A smart street-light intensity optimizer

Abstract

The recent research work emphasizes on the conservation of energy as well as on the reduction of environmental pollution. This paper introduces an intelligent method for optimizing the street-light-intensity so as to reduce the CO <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2</sub> emission which, in turn, reduces the pollution of the environment. The working principle is based on the requirement of luminous energy at a particular moment of time. An automatic system is designed using ARDUINO which will switch ON or OFF the street lights at given time and also depending on the intensity of the ambient light. This system also detects the movement of vehicles and interrupts the system to increase the intensity of light on the road.
