Project Title

Vehicle Detection And Road Lighting Using Energy And Security Management System

Project Area of Specialization Electrical/Electronic EngineeringProject Summary

Street lighting is essential to ensure security in urban areas and enhance the quality of life. It also contributes to improving the safety of pedestrians, drivers, and riders. However, the brightness required at different times of the night is different and employing a system to manage the same can result in energy savings and provide cost benefits to municipalities and corporations. For instance, the brightness required during midnight is less compared to that required during the evening. Our automated street light management system controls brightness at different times of the night without any manual intervention. Statistics show that street lighting, including maintenance, represents 40 percent of the expenditure of a municipality.

 So this project has given a smart solution from which maximum energy can be saved by generating energy using solar energy with no outflow of destructive gasses. Moreover, a press button has been installed which is associated with a server-client application to cause the client to have a sense of security and this is because of different types of mishaps, emergencies, and accidents happening on the road. So by executing this project energy can be saved and increment the security on the roadway that will make it a smart highway.

Project Objectives

1.By implementing this project, we can save a lot of energy by using solar panels as we are facing an electricity crisis in our country. 2.According to Ozadowicz and Grela street lightning is consuming almost 40% of the total electrical energy consumption in cities .By our calculation, we can recover our cost within one and a half years by saving electricity using the solar panel and our smart implementation of it on the road.

3.Moreover, we are providing security that is a key factor especially in the developing country by adding pushbutton on the poles of the street light, this will enhance our security and our user's trust in the authority.

4.Nowadays we are facing energy crises, so we need to produce more energy or we need to stop wasting it. So our primary goal is to diminish the energy utilization of highway lights. We are going to do it by automating the already installed lights and placing solar panel on it. We are also adding a panic button on the master poles that serves in the hour of need for the user. For security and energy issue this will help to save energy and that can be utilize somewhere else and make highway a safe place for the users and give immediate assistance.

Project Implementation Method

    Our proposed design aims to reduce the overall costs of street lighting by integrating dimmable light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and wireless technology. The principle of operation is to efficiently control the intensity of the streetlights to respond to the needs of road users. The following is a list of requirements our system aims to fulfill such to solve the problems that the current lighting system presents:

1. Motion Detection: A motion detection sensor will ensure that the lights only brighten when motion is detected.

 2. Wireless Communication: The network will enable the lights to transmit and receive data between each other. This ensures that when motion is detected near one light, the adjacent lights will turn on, therefore providing enough light for pedestrians or cars.

3. Microcontroller: The microcontroller will act as the processing unit. It will have the following functions:

 a. Process Data: It must process the data received from the sensor.

b. Control Output: This output controls the intensity of the light according to the results of data processing.

c. Communication with wireless interface: It must be able to receive and send control signals through the network.

4. Dimming: This involves adjusting the lighting levels of LEDs such that lower lighting levels are used when there are no pedestrian or cars on the streets.

5. Control: Intelligent algorithms will be used to smartly control the lights to quickly respond to the needs of road users.

 6. Even Power Consumption: Adjusting the brightness level of lights introduces a problem of uneven power consumption which adversely affects power companies’ carefully forecasted usage. This is required in order to produce the right amount of power such to avoid overproduction or shortages. Our solution aims to account for this by implementing an algorithm which dynamically controls the network such that an even power usage is maintained.                                 

Benefits of the Project

The key benefits are:

• Huge reduction of energy and maintenance cost
• Increased public safety from improved lighting
• Safer traffic due to increased visibility of hazards;
• Measurable environmental impact due to reduced energy consumption
• We also provide security on highway using penic button
• If anyone press penic button this send signal to mobile  application.
• This notification shows emergency help needed on pole number 1,2,34,…..etc.
