INTRODUCTION GSM based street light monitoring & control system is an automated system designed to
increase the efficiency and accuracy of an industry by automatically timed controlled switching
of street lights. GSM based street light monitoring & control system consists of an 89C51
microcontroller which on setting of time delays switches ON/OFF the street lights and sends the
update through a phone to the specified phone number. This is smart way of managing street
lighting systems. There are basically two modules which include the client side and the server
side. The client side consists of the GSM modem which is further connected to the
microcontroller. The server side consists of the JAVA based web server it has a core engine
which interacts with the user, database and the GSM communication manager.
Overview Due to the increase of environmental concerns, lighting control systems will play an important
role in the reduction of energy consumption of the lighting without impeding comfort goals. As
mentioned the energy is the single most important parameter to consider when assessing the
impacts of technical systems on the environment. Energy related emissions are responsible for
approximately 80% of air emissions and central to the most serious global environmental
impacts and hazards, including climate change, acid deposition, smog and particulates. Lighting
is often the largest electrical load in offices, but the cost of lighting energy consumption is low
when compared to the personnel costs. Thus its energy saving potential is often neglected.
According to study global grid based electricity consumption for lighting was about 2650 TW in
2005, which was an equivalent of 19% of total global electricity consumption.
European office buildings dedicate about 50% of their electricity for lighting, whereas the share
of electricity for lighting is around 20-30% in hospitals, 15% in factories, 10-15% in schools and
10% in residential buildings..Intelligent lighting control and energy management system is a
perfect solution for energy saving, especially in public lighting management. It realizes remote
on/off and dimming of lights, which can save energy by
40%, save lights maintenance costs by 50%, and prolong lamp life by 25%. The system
application in streetlight control for each lamp will reduce in streetlight electricity and
maintenance cost, and increase availability of street light.
Unique Characteristic Detecting failures of any node.
Tolerance to communication network.
Dynamic network topology.
Each node in the network is linked to the main server via a protocol. The analog data sensed by
the sensor is converted in digital form, processed by microcontroller and then sent to the server.
The master controls all the slaves .The other nodes sends the data to master and the master
collects the data and further sends to concentrator and server where the data is monitored and on
necessary alterations process it to switch On/Off the nodes devices.
This scenario increases life of streetlights, reduces power consumption, ease of monitoring and
controlling and less installation cost are the various advantages achieved.
Methodology Firstly, Chips would be made to be installed on the lights. These chips will consist of a micro-
controller along with various sensors like CO2 sensor, fog sensor, light intensity sensor, noise
sensor and GSM modules for wireless data transmission and reception between concentrator and
PC. The data from the chips would be received on a remote
concentrator (PC) and the PC would also transmit the controlling action to the chip.
According to the survey of variation in the intensity of light in the field area, efficient
programming would be done to ensure minimum consumption of energy. The emissions in
the atmospheres would be detected along with the consumption of energy and any theft of
electricity.
LITERATURE SURVEY
A Street light, lamppost, street lamp, light standard, or lamp standard is a raised
source of light on the edge of a road or walkway, which is turned on or lit at a certain time
every night. Major advantages of street lighting includes: prevention of accidents and
increase in safety. Studies have shown that darkness results in a large number of crashes and
fatalities, especially those involving pedestrians; pedestrian fatalities are 3 to 6.75 times
more likely in the dark than in daylight. Street lighting has been found to reduce pedestrian
crashes by approximately 50%.A number of street light control systems have been
developed to control and reduce energy consumption of a town's public lighting system.
These range from controlling a circuit of street lights and/or individual lights with specific
ballasts and network operating protocols.These may include sending and receiving
instructions via separate data networks, at high frequency over the top of the low voltage
supply or wireless.
Various protocols have been developed as well as compatible hardware for most
types of lighting. The control center will deal with the data so that it can know the situation
of each streetlight. GSM based street light monitoring & control system is an automated
system designed to increase the efficiency and accuracy of an industry by automatically
timed controlled switching of street lights. GSM based street light monitoring & control
system consists of an 89C51 microcontroller which on setting of time delays switches
ON/OFF the street lights and sends the update through a phone to the specified phone
number.There are basically two modules which include the client side and the server side.
The client side consists of the GSM modem which is further connected to the
microcontroller. The server side consists of the JAVA based web server; it has a core engine
which interacts with the user, database and the GSM communication manager[1].
Street light, a raised source of light that is commonly used along walkways and
streets when the surrounding turns dark. Currently, various street lighting control systems
technology have been developed to control and maintain these systems more economically.
However, most of these systems developed have contributed some drawbacks. They have
been considered to be outdated due to lack of communication capabilities, not allowing a
system feedback. Hence, Zigbee communication technology is deployed so as to ensure a
higher efficiency and overcome current drawbacks. The system will be able to detect fault
and apprise the control room about it. Zigbee -enabled street light is based on the wireless
sensor network application that utilizes Zigbee communication protocol to enhance the
technology of street lighting system by providing communication capabilities. Zigbee –
enabled street light are mostly battery powered, hence there is no need of laying
underground cable connection.
As the surrounding gets darker, the resistance of the LDR (Light Dependent
Resistor) increases, the voltage yielded will be high and a large ADC (Analog to Digital
Converter) value will be obtained. The ADC value can be as low as 0 for very bright
environment and as far as 1023 for a dark environment. The ADC value obtained is directly
proportional to the voltage divider value of both the LDR and the potentiometer in series
with each other. A slightest change in the resistance of the LDR can give a difference to the
ADC value. The microcontroller used in the system is of 10-bit, hence produces as much as
210 = 1023 values[2].
Street Light Control System which operates automatically is not only easiest but also
the intelligent system. This system can be set to operate in automatic mode, which regulates
the streetlight according to brightness and dimness Algorithm and light intensity.
Fig:- COMPARITION OF TECHNIQUES IN PAPERS
street light system also includes a time cut-out function, and an automatic control
pattern for even more electricity conserving, when vehicles pass by, the light will turn on
automatically, later turn off. Furthermore, this system has auto-alarm function which will set
off if any light is damaged and will show the serial number of the damaged light, thus it is
easy to be found and repair the damaged light. In addition, the system integrates a digital
temperature and humidity sensor, not only monitoring the streetlight but also temperature
and humidity The core of the system is constructed based on the Microchip’s PIC18F
microcontroller [3].
It aims at designing and executing the advanced development in embedded systems
for energy saving of street lights. Nowadays, human has become too busy, and is unable tofind
time even to switch the lights wherever not necessary.The present system is like, the
street lights will be switched on in the evening before the sun sets and they are switched off
the next day morning after there is sufficient light on the roads. this paper gives the best
solution for electrical power wastage. Also the manual operation of the lighting system is
completely eliminated.In this paper the two sensors are used which are Light Dependent
Resistor LDR sensor to indicate a day/night time and the photoelectric sensors to detect the
movement on the street. The microcontroller PIC16F877A is used as brain to control the
street light system, where the programming language used for developing the software to the
microcontroller is C-language. Finally, the system has been successfully designed and
implemented as prototype system.
It elaborates the design and construction of automatic street control system circuit.
Circuit works properly to turn street lamp ON/OFF .After designing the circuit which
controls the light of the street as illustrated in the previous sections. LDR sensor and the
photoelectric sensors are the two main conditions in working the circuit. If the two
conditions have been satisfied the circuit will do the desired work according to specific
program. Each sensor controls the turning ON or OFF the lighting column.The street lights
have been successfully controlled by microcontroller with commands from the controller the
lights will be ON in the places of the movement when it's dark. Furthermore the drawback
of the street light system using timer controller has been overcome, where the system
depends on photoelectric sensor. Finally this control circuit can be used in long roadways
between the cities [4].
TECHNOLOGY
Fig:- Block Diagram of The Complete Smart Street Lamp Monitoring System.
The above simplified block diagram shows the complete smart street lamp
monitoring system. Inside the lamp module, it consists of light dependent resistors (LDR)
module, microcontroller module and transmission module. The lamp module will
communicate with the control centre through wireless using Xbee.
In the LDR module, it consists of two LDR. One of the LDR is install on top of the
street lamp for the checking the day/night status condition. Another LDR is place under the
street lamp to monitor and checking the lamp health status. The results of the LDRs send to
microcontroller, where the microcontroller will process the data and send the data to the
transmission module. In the transmission module, there is wireless Xbee that transmit the
data through wireless to the control centre. In the control centre, it will monitors each of the
street lamp status, as well as controlling the operation of the street lamps.
WSN For Intelligent Street Lighting System
Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is a wireless network consisting of spatially
distributed autonomous devices using sensors to cooperatively monitor physical or
environmental conditions, such as temperature, sound, vibration, pressure, motion or
pollutants, at different locations In addition to one or more sensors, each node in a sensor
network which typically equipped with a radio transceiver or other wireless communications
device, a small microcontroller, and an energy source, usually a battery.
A sensor network normally constitutes a wireless ad-hoc network, meaning that
each sensor supports a multi-hop routing algorithm (several nodes may forward data packets
to the base station).
Types of Sensor Nodes
1. LDR [Light Dependent Resistors] sensor
2. CO2 gas sensor 3. Sound sensor
1. LDR [Light Dependent Resistors] sensor:
LDRs or Light Dependent Resistors are very useful especially in light/dark sensor
circuits. Normally the resistance of an LDR is very high, sometimes as high as 1000
000 ohms, but when they are illuminated with light resistance drops dramatically. When the light level is low the resistance of the LDR is high.
CO2 gas sensor:
The CO2 Gas Sensor Module is designed to allow a microcontroller to determine
when a preset Carbon Dioxide gas level has been reached or exceeded. Interfacing
with this sensor is done through a 4-pin SIP header and requires two I/O pins from
the host microcontroller. The sensor module is intended to provide a means of
comparing gas sources and being able to set an alarm limit when the source becomes
excessive.
Sound sensor:
The Sound sensor module is a simple microphone. Based on the power amplifier
LM386 and the electronic microphone, it can be used to detect the sound strength of
the environment. The value of output can be adjusted by the potentiometer.
GSM SIM300 module for wireless communication
The SIM300 is a all in one GSM/GPRS solution that comes in a compact
plug-in module. With an industry-standard interface, the sim300 offers GSM/GPRS
900/1800/1900MHz performance for voice, SMS, data, and Fax all in a small sized
module that is perfect for integration in any handheld device. This module can be
easily interfaced with it AT commands over TTL serial interface, which makes it
easy to connect it to microcontrollers, computers, and other devices.
Implementation Details
User Sets all the required parameters for a particular Sensors on a Street Light
Modules for different Areas on the Server.
All the information is sent to the Street Light Modules using the GSM / GPRS
Module.
Microcontroller then controls the street light based on the Sensor parameters and
performs the required action received from the server using GSM / GPRS
MODULE.
The control center will monitor and control all streetlight real times. It compares
these values with the threshold value and appropriately decides whether to vary
intensity of light.
The GUI gives us a representation of the streetlights i.e. their status (ON/OFF).
Street Light Module can operate in Manual or Automatic Mode as configured from
the server by the user.
Street Light Module also measures the amount of visibility and Carbon Dioxide
present in the environment using the respective FOG and Gas Sensor and controls
the Fog Lights if Necessary. All This information is sent to the server on request. It
takes account of environment and safety standards needed in all traffic conditions.
Firstly, microchip would be required to be installed on the pole lights. These chips
will consist of a micro-controller along with various sensors like CO2 sensor, fog
sensor, light intensity sensor, noise sensor and GSM modules for wireless data
transmission and reception between concentrator and PC.
The data from the chips would be received on a remote concentrator (PC) and the PC
would also transmit the controlling action to the chip.
Separate automatic mode will be provided that will have timing considerations in addition to surrounding light conditions.

Modules of Application:-
Setting of network parameter Setting of network parameter The module accepts network setup and connection establishment parameters such as
baud rate, parity, stop bits, no. of data bits and COM port no. for serial communication. On
successful establishment of connection it gives timing details and address of device.
Receiving node list from the network After providing the Network parameters to the System the system sets up the
Network. If new nodes are added to the network then, the system takes a small period of
time to detect new nodes and add them to the network. The nodes broadcast its “HELLO”
message which is subsequently received by the Master Node. The node detection is verified
by the “List Receive Message”.
Viewing the Node List of the nodes present in the Network After the complete setup of the network the Nodes present in the network are
presented to the administrator. The Nodes are represented by their node number, their
current status and also the number of nodes present in the Network.
Set status of a particular node Administrator can Select a particular node and update its status i.e. ON/OFF. The
administrator provides the necessary command to set the Node ON and OFF. A value 1 is
entered as a command by the Administrator to turn the Street node ON and value 0 is
entered as a command to turn the Street node OFF.
Set status of a particular node is switched ON/OFF After the Set status value provided by the Administrator to the selected node, its
status is updates as ON/OFF. A Bulb showing a YELLOW color glow is used to indicate
that the Node is turned ON.A Bulb showing a WHITE color glow is used to indicate that the
Node is turned OFF.
Get status of a particular node The Administrator has the control over the function to view the current status of any
particular node in the Network. The Command that does this function is known as GET
STATUS. This Command returns the current status of the node An YELLOW colored
indicates an ON status. A WHITE colored indicates an OFF status.
Refresh Network for Detecting and adding new nodes to the
Network The refresh network command provides the Administrator the functionality to check
for new nodes wanting to join the Network. This command does the same functionality as
the Network setup operation. The Nodes are represented by their node number, their current
status and also the number of nodes present in the Network. Already existing Nodes in the network also are detected once again in the Network Refresh operation.
CONCLUSION In this paper Intelligent street lighting system is described that integrates new
technologies offering ease of maintenance and energy savings.
The proposed system is appropriate for street lighting in remote as well as urban
areas where traffic is low at times.
Along with energy saving it also tackles with the problem of power theft .It is
capable of taking corrective actions in case of unprecedented events of climatic changes.
