• Abstract:

  Smart Street Lighting Aims To Improve The Efficiency Of Street Lights By Automating Their Control As And When Needed, Without The Need For An External Power Source. Vehicles Moving Down The Road Cause Vibrations In The Piezoelectric Material Beneath The Road Due To Deformation Caused By Vehicle Passing Pressure. Piezoelectricity Is An Electric Charge That Builds Up In Certain Solid Materials (such As Crystals And Certain Ceramic Materials) When Torque Is Applied. Nowadays, Most Of The Existing Street Light Systems Are Wired Which Are Not Only Difficult To Construct But Also Have Poor Flexibility. To Overcome IOT Technology Using A Piezoelectric Sensor Which Uses Power Efficiently By Remotely Monitoring And Controlling The System. This Design Can Save A Better Amount Of Electricity Compared To Street Lamps That Keep A Light During The Night For This System Power Supply Is Given By A Solar Panel And Piezoelectric Transducer Placed On The Road. When A Vehicle Is Passing On-road Then Pressure Is Applied, According To The Property Of Piezoelectric Material Energy Is Generated When Pressure Is Applied To It. LDR Is A Minor Component That Works On The Intensity Of Light. When The Light Intensity Is Increased, LDR Resistance Increases, And When Light Intensity Is Decreased, LDR Resistance Decreases. The System Only Turns On Street Lights When They Are Needed To Maintain A Secure And Safe Traffic Environment. Light Automatically Dims Up Or Down In Partial Road Areas When The Street Lighting System Is Computer-controlled.
