Automatic Street Light based on Vehicle presence

Abstract

Automatic street light system that activates based on 
vehicle presence involves using sensors to detect the 
presence of vehicles and then controlling the street 
lights accordingly. This type of system can improve 
energy efficiency by illuminating streets only when 
necessary. Automatic Streetlight needs no manual 
operation for switching ON and OFF when there is 
need of light. It detects itself weather there is need 
for light or not. When darkness rises to a certain 
value then automatically streetlight is switched ON 
and when there is other source of light i.e. day time, 
the street light gets OFF. The sensitiveness of the 
street light canal so be adjusted. In our project we 
have used LED lights for high power switching 
which can be control through the relay 
(electromagnetic switch) where it is possible to turn 
ON/OFF any electrical appliances connected all the 
way through relay.
