Abstract: A smart city relies heavily on an efficient street lighting system, which plays a vital role in
enhancing the functionality and aesthetics of its highways and streets.Effectively handling the power
consumption and maintenance of a street light system poses a challenging task, particularly in large countries .If
any kind of fault occurred in street light that precise message will send to authorised and sub authorised incharge
person through theapplication. In the message we are sending location of light pole and precise fault like
damage wire or current flow. We are introducing the application in which administrativelogin will be provided.
Message will send in application. After reparing the fault the incharge person have to scan his be RFID Card.
RFID scanner will be mounted on thelight pole. RFID reader recharge itself with solar panel. After scanning
RFID card the reader will send message in application that fault has been repaired successfully with date and
time, name of the person. This project helps to reduce the sloppiness of socialworkers and it is efficient wat to
detect faults. The LDR sensor is a light-dependent resistor that changes its Subject to the quantity of available
light,it is exposed to.TheGPS module is a device that can determine the location of an object using satellite
signals.The Blynk app is a mobile app that can be used to control IoT devices.The RFIDreader is a device that
can read RFID tags.The RFID tag is a small device that containsa unique identifier.

II. INTRODUCTION
Street lights are an essential part of our infrastructure, providing us with light at night and making our streets
safer. However, street lights can malfunction, which can be a safety hazard. This project proposes to design
and develop an IoT-based street light fault detection and alert system that uses an ESP32, LDR sensor, GPS
module, and Blynk app. The system will also have a confirmation system that verifies if the repairing person
visited the light or not. This will be done using an RFID reader and card. The RFID reader will be mounted on
the street light, and the RFID card will be given to the repairing person. When the repairing person scans the
card, the ESP32 will record the time and date of the visit. This information can be used to track the progress of
the repairs and ensure that all street lights are being maintained properly.This system is a cost-effective and
efficient way to detect and repair street light faults. It is also a sustainable solution, as it reduces the need for
manual inspection of street lights.

reduced energy consumption and costs, and increased efficiency of street light maintenance.

VI. FUTURE SCOPE

 Integration with other smart city systems: The system could be integrated with other smart city
systems, such as traffic management systems, public safety systems, and environmental monitoring
systems. This would allow for a more comprehensive and coordinated response to street light faults
and other events.
 Predictive maintenance: The system could be used to collect data on street light performance and
environmental conditions over time. This data could then be used to develop predictive maintenance
models that can identify and address potential problems before they cause failures.
 Energy efficiency: The system could be used to optimize street light brightness levels based on
real-time traffic and weather conditions. This has the potential to result in substantial energy
conservation.
 Public engagement: The system could be used to provide the public with real-time information on
street light status and repair schedules. This could be done through a mobile app, website,
or social media.
