Street Light Automation System

1. Introduction
The street light automation system is designed to optimize energy consumption and enhance
road safety. It automatically controls street lights based on ambient light levels and vehicle
movement while also displaying vehicle count on an LCD screen.

2. Components Used

⦁ Arduino Uno – Microcontroller for processing inputs and controlling outputs.

⦁ IR Sensor – Detects vehicle movement.

⦁ LDR Sensor – Measures ambient light levels.

⦁ LCD Display (16x2 with I2C Module) – Shows vehicle count at the toll system.

⦁ LEDs – Simulate street lights.

⦁ Servo Motor – Controls the toll gate.

3. Working Model

⦁ During the night, the system turns on the street lights using the LDR sensor.

⦁ When a vehicle is detected by the IR sensor, nearby lights turn on automatically for a
set duration.

⦁ The IR sensor also increments the vehicle count and updates it on the LCD display at the
toll system.

⦁ The servo motor operates the toll gate, opening for vehicles and closing afterward.

4. Circuit Connections

1
IR Sensor:

⦁ VCC to 5V

⦁ GND to GND

⦁ Signal to a digital pin on Arduino

LDR Sensor:

⦁ One terminal to 5V

⦁ Other terminal to an analog pin and GND (via a resistor)

LCD Display (I2C Module):

⦁ SDA to A4 (Arduino)

⦁ SCL to A5 (Arduino)

LEDs:

⦁ Anode to digital pins

⦁ Cathode to GND (via resistor)

Servo Motor:

⦁ VCC to 5V

⦁ GND to GND

⦁ PWM signal to a digital pin

5. Programming Logic

⦁ Initialize Arduino and components.

⦁ Continuously monitor the LDR sensor to determine night conditions.

⦁ If night is detected, turn on street lights.

⦁ Continuously read IR sensor data to detect vehicles.

2
⦁ If a vehicle is detected:

⦁ Turn on nearby street lights.

⦁ Increment vehicle count and update the LCD.

⦁ Open the toll gate using the servo motor.

⦁ After a short delay, turn off the lights and close the toll gate.

6. Expected Results

⦁ Automatic activation of street lights at night.

⦁ Lights turning on when a vehicle passes and turning off after a delay.

⦁ Real-time vehicle count displayed on the LCD.

⦁ Automated toll gate operation.

7. Conclusion
This smart street light system enhances road safety and energy efficiency. It ensures that lights
operate only when needed, reducing power consumption while maintaining visibility and
security.

8. Future Enhancements
Integration with solar panels for energy-efficient operation.

IoT connectivity for remote monitoring and data logging.

AI-based vehicle classification for advanced traffic management.
