MICROCONTROLLER BASED ENERGY CONSERVATION SYSTEM

Nowadays, human has become too busy and unable to switch ON or OFF the street lights. The proposed system will automatically switch ON the street lights in the evening before the sunset and switch OFF in the morning when there is sufficient lights on the road. Two sensors are used-LDR is used to indicate the day or night on the street and PIR is used to detect presence of vehicle or person. The street light automation can reduce energy consumption there by it reduces cost and it is built using sensors and microcontroller. The programming language used for developing the software is C-language.
