CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
1.1 Traditional Street Light
Streetlights are a common indicator of a public place, and they have long served
as the foundation of urban infrastructure. But the traditional techniques used to
light these areas have sparked serious questions, mostly related to energy waste.
Public lighting is manually turned on and off, and attempts at automation using
timer controls have not worked well. As a result, valuable energy resources are
being greatly exhausted particularly during the day. Realizing this universal
problem, our proposal aims to transform public lighting through the
implementation of an advanced, flexible, and energy saving system.
1.2 Automated Lighting System
1
discriminate between live things and non living objects, including trees, their
widespread usage for motion detection in public lighting frequently fails. This
disadvantage con tributes to energy consumption by causing static components to
illuminate needlessly. Our research takes a different tack in response, using
cameras and OpenCV to separate human movements from other things. By
making sure the lighting system reacts exclusively to its detection of live things,
this innovative method minimizes energy usage and enhances the reliability of
public lighting.
1.3 SOS System in Street Light
The second part of our project explores public space safety and emergency
response. Public safety and emergency response are integral aspects of
community well being and resilience, encompassing a range of measures and
strategies aimed at safeguarding individuals, property, and the environment from
harm and mitigating the impact of emergencies. When emergencies occur, timely
and coordinated response efforts are critical. Conventional emergency response
systems depend on phone calls, which can be cumbersome and unfeasible in
urgent circumstances. We incorporate a panic button within the streetlight system
as a solution to this. Pressing this button starts an instant alert that speeds up
emergency response. We do not use GPS sensors for location tracking. We pre
feed location data during installation, assuming a stationary GPS in recognition
of the urgency of emergencies. This innovative method speeds the process of
identify a location, guaranteeing immediate and efficient emergency response.

1.4 EV Charging System in Street Light
The third section discusses our urban environment and the growing problem of
charging for electric vehicles (EV) infrastructure, especially in the context of the
special requirements of electric bikes. Bikers frequently experience the problem
about forgetting charging their bikes, which can be inconvenient and disruptive,
particularly during important occasions. This problem is made worse by the
scarcity of readily avail able charging stations. Our project addresses this by
introducing an easy EV charging system that is enabled by a QR code and
integrated into streetlights. In keeping using the growing acceptance of digital
transactions, users can access on the go electrical charging for their e bikes by
scanning the QR code and making a payment.
3
1.5 Fault Detection & Live Parameters Monitoring
The dependability and maintaining it of the infrastructure for public lighting are
the main topics of the fourth and last section. Finding and fixing streetlight issues
is essential to maintaining system longevity and public safety. The current
problem is that electrical failures are often detected and responded to slowly,
which can result in dangers and stretched darkness. To solve this issue this system
installs a fault warning system that promptly notifies the power distribution when
a fault occurs. Our solution offers thorough insights into the condition of the
streetlights system by keeping track of both alternating current and direct current
parameters. When something goes wrong, the system makes use of IFTTT to send
out a warning so that quick action can be taken.
To sum up, our project addresses important urban challenges and
represents a major advancement in the redesign of public lighting systems. We
improve emergency response, solve inefficiencies in automated lighting, and
provide easy to access EV charging. Our initiative seeks to transform urban
illumination by fusing cutting edge technologies with a dedication to
sustainability.

Fig.1.7 Solar Powered Energy Source
The fact that we depend on solar energy to power our light, SOS, and fault
identification components sets us apart. This, which uses solar panels to collect
and transform sunlight into electricity, is in line with our sustainability goal.
During the day, solar energy is primarily utilized for lighting and operations.
Furthermore, we monitor direct current (DC) for lighting and alternating current
(AC) for EV charging while using AC for EV charging.
Usage of battery for energy storage is notable aspect of our project. The
inconsistent supply of solar power can be addressed by storing extra solar energy
to facilitate smooth operations at night. This energy storage produces a self
sufficient and environmentally beneficial urban solution by enabling night time
lighting, response to emergencies, and fault detection.
Essentially, our project establishes a new measure for environmentally conscious
urban infrastructure while addressing pressing issues. Through the integration of
advanced technologies, monitoring of consumption, and adoption of renewable
energy, our initiative showcases the bounds of innovation in the creation of
sustainable and efficient urban environments. Our project is a source of
inspiration, leading cities towards more sustainable and brighter future.

CHAPTER 2
LITERATURE SURVEY
In cities, one of the main reasons for energy consumption is streetlight
systems and it is essential to reduce their energy consumption as well as
maintenance cost. Based on the literature, it shows that streetlight system in cities
consumes 18% 38% of power resources. Using optimized systems and techniques
it is possible to minimize power consumption without compromising human
safety. The recent research on smart streetlight systems is focused on minimizing
human intervention, power consumption, and cost. The existing systems mainly
use the controller and various sensors to automate the switching activity and
intensity of lights [6]. It is essential to analyze the installations of different types
of street lights, potential power savings, and quality of lighting [4].
To reduce greenhouse effect gas emissions, different countries have
focused on energy efficient techniques and the design of smart street lights in
terms of technology, types of lights, functioning patterns, and communication [5].
Most conventional street lighting control systems have a simple timing control
circuitry for switching on/off of the lights and need human involvement.
However, they do not have considered the ambient brightness and movement of
objects. The functioning of street lights (on/off) should be based on any moving
object and ambient lighting in order to save the energy of the street lighting
system [6]. Vehicle movement and detection based street light control systems
can minimize the energy consumption in street light systems [8]. Controlling the
functioning of street lights based on the movement of pedestrians and vehicles
minimizes power consumption. An adaptive control system for smart street
lighting in a city infrastructure saves energy by up to 35% compared to the
predefined and fixed behavior of a control system [9].
The successful integration and widespread adoption of electric
vehicles (EVs) depend heavily on the establishment of efficient charging
infrastructure, especially for the development of a widespread Vehicle to Grid
6
(V2G) network. Current studies indicate that 70% of EV owners primarily charge
their vehicles at home, with only 5% utilizing workplace charging spots.
However, a significant challenge arises as 34% of the UK population lacks off
street parking, and up to 85% of households in certain urban areas must resort to
on street parking. To address this issue and promote EV adoption among residents
without off street parking, there is a growing focus on the development of on street
charging infrastructure. Notably, researchers and companies are exploring
innovative solutions, such as installing EV charge points on existing lamp posts,
eliminating the need for additional power supply or road excavation. This project
specifically targets street furniture, particularly lamp post charge points, and aims
to examine consumer perceptions in the context of the V2G concept. The vision
presented in this paper revolves around a V2G connected EV concept, where
electricity is both delivered to the vehicle and returned to the grid through lamp
post charge points, offering a practical and accessible charging solution for a
broader range of EV users [1]
The SOS network facilitates communication with individuals in distress,
employing an ad hoc wireless network for easier multi hop communication. This
network, utilizing RF signals instead of wired or mobile communication, allows
victims to convey one word messages (e.g., panic, help, and struggle). The
primary goal is to develop devices placed on lampposts at 20 meter intervals,
creating a widespread and accessible network to aid individuals in challenging
situations [2].
Due to the current urban development had conducted various studies
on street lighting by following the lighting installation plan to optimize its
use. For instance, lighting in a public place is often the main route of residents
and areas that are focus of users in public places .Various changes occurred
encompasses. The development of street lighting technology from the past until
now to produce more environmentally friendly street lighting technology.
It envisions lighting systems as a combination of distributed loads with regulation
7
capabilities, distributed energy generation, and distributed energy storage.
Particularly focusing on Street Lighting Systems, the paper proposes the concept
of a LSG as a crucial component of Smart Grid strategies. The discussion revolves
around the ENERLIGHT Project's work, introducing the concept of LSG and
evaluating different configurations to formulate strategies, planning
specifications, and developing various modules within the LSG framework. This
initial article serves as an introduction, raising awareness of the concept and
reflecting on potential approaches while outlining the modules developed in the
proposed system. Future papers in the series will delve into more technical and
specific aspects, discussing design options and presenting experimental results
for each module in the lighting intelligent networks (LSG). Street lighting
monitoring to ensure that the street lights on at night by developing a
notification system using the IoT platform that can detect broken streetlight.
Los Angeles declared a concept to attach all urban LED streetlights by
the network systems. All streetlights to be introduced with mobile
communication chips in order that it could connect via GSM or GPRS [3].
In the realm of electric vehicles (EVs), the key to successful integration
and widespread adoption lies in the establishment of an efficient charging
infrastructure, particularly for the development of a robust Vehicle to Grid (V2G)
network. Presently, studies reveal that a substantial 70% of EV owners
predominantly charge their vehicles at home, with a mere 5% utilizing workplace
charging spots. A significant challenge arises as 34% of the UK population lacks
off street parking, and in certain urban areas, up to 85% of households resort to
on street parking. To address this issue and catalyze EV adoption among residents
without off street parking, a growing focus is directed towards on street charging
infrastructure.[4]
Innovative solutions are being explored, such as the installation of EV
charge points on existing lamp posts, eliminating the need for additional power
supply or road excavation. This project specifically targets street furniture,
8
notably lamp post charge points, and aims to examine consumer perceptions in
the context of the V2G concept. The envisioned future revolves around a V2G
connected EV concept, where electricity is both delivered to the vehicle and
returned to the grid through lamp post charge points, providing a practical and
accessible charging solution for a broader range of EV users [5].
Beyond the realm of EVs, the SOS network emerges as a lifeline for
individuals in distress, employing an ad hoc wireless network for seamless multi
hop communication. This network, utilizing radio frequency (RF) signals instead
of wired or mobile communication, enables victims to convey one word messages
(e.g., panic, help, and struggle). The primary goal is to develop devices placed on
lampposts at 20 meter intervals, creating a widespread and accessible network to
aid individuals in challenging situations [6].
Envisioning lighting systems as a combination of distributed loads with
regulation capabilities, distributed energy generation, and distributed energy
storage, the paper proposes the concept of a Lighting Smart Grid (LSG) as a
crucial component of Smart Grid strategies. The discussion revolves around the
Enright Project's work, introducing the concept of LSG and evaluating different
configurations to formulate strategies, planning specifications, and developing
various modules within the LSG framework. This initial article serves as an
introduction, raising awareness of the concept and reflecting on potential
approaches while outlining the modules developed in the proposed system. Future
papers in the series will delve into more technical and specific aspects, discussing
design options and presenting experimental results for each module in the lighting
intelligent networks (LSG) [7]. The digitalization of payment mechanisms
represents a significant milestone in the transition towards a cashless future
economy. Alongside this transformation, the integration of electric vehicle (EV)
charging systems into streetlights is poised to revolutionize urban infrastructure.
In India, the growth of digital payments is expected to be propelled by four key
trends, which will also influence the evolution of this industry in the future. These
9
trends include India's rapid transition towards digital transactions, a supportive
regulatory environment, the emergence of next generation payment service
providers, and the prioritization of enhanced customer experiences. Moreover,
the convergence of digital payment systems with innovative technologies, such
as EV charging integrated into streetlights, represents a forward looking approach
to urban development and sustainability. This multifaceted approach not only
streamlines payment processes but also promotes ecofriendly transportation
solutions, thereby contributing to the holistic advancement of India's digital
economy and urban infrastructure. The mentioned IoT based technology aims to
improve bus passenger safety in instances of danger. It combines a Raspberry Pi
computer with sensors such as cameras and GPS devices. Keys are given to
passengers so they can set off alarms in an emergency. The technology instantly
notifies authorities by email in the event of accidents or debauchery, providing
photographs of GPS location data and bus. Passenger safety is given priority with
this real time monitoring, which guarantees quick response. The lack of
accountability in this domain presents a chance for both new and established
entities to assume the lead in assessing and mitigating the societal impacts of
developing LBS technology. [10]

CHAPTER 3
EXISTING METHODOLOGY
11
The working of the system involves measuring stations and detectors
located in each lamppost, equipped with various sensors, including PIR sensors.
The supervision module enhances fault management, and the control unit
processes information from sensors to manage the system. The information is
transmitted to a management center through ZigBee devices, while a processing
unit receives and analyzes the data. This centralized approach not only ensures
efficient control of street lights but also enables the extension of the system to
incorporate data from other electrical systems, contributing to comprehensive
urban management.
In a practical scenario, the system adjusts the brightness of LED light
sources in lamps based on the triggering of PIR sensors. The intelligence of the
system lies in its adaptability to environmental conditions, with an example
scenario illustrating how the lights respond to the presence or absence of
pedestrians and vehicles in their sensing areas. This adaptability not only
enhances energy efficiency but also contributes to overall safety and comfort in
urban spaces.
Field tests demonstrate the system's effectiveness, achieving high
transmission rates between lampposts and showcasing its adaptability to different
environmental conditions. The power management system, relying on solar
panels and batteries, ensures sustainability and low power consumption, further
emphasizing the system's eco friendly and cost effective nature.
12
Subsequent estimation of street lamp heights and forms a crucial element in
mapping and understanding the street lighting environment. The integration of
diverse sensors within the platform ensures meticulous data collection, including
details on street illumination levels and lamp locations.
To refine vehicle location estimates, the system incorporates an extended
Kalman filter framework, a recursive algorithm that combines sensor
measurements with a dynamic model of the vehicle's motion. This enhances the
precision of geotagging street lamps and contributes to the creation of an accurate
virtual 3D street lighting model at an urban scale. While not explicitly specified,
the overarching technology encompasses 3D modeling tools, facilitating a
holistic and immersive representation of the urban environment for citizens and
decision makers to assess and optimize nighttime street lighting performance.

4.3 SOS System
The infrastructure for smart lighting takes on a new level with the addition of a
surveillance network. In addition to having advanced monitoring tools, this
surveillance system has an SOS function, or panic button, built in into the street
lights. When the SOS button is pressed in an emergency, the device uses the
IFTTT platform to provide live camera access and shares position data in form of
Google maps link to the registered mobile number of authorities. This all-
encompassing safety feature makes the smart lighting system a flexible urban
asset in addition to enhancing public safety.
One creative aspect of the concept is integrating EV charging capabilities into the
network of smart lights. The seamless integration of a QR code payment system
which makes the procedure more efficient and user friendly. Easy to use QR code
scanning, online payment, and EV charging relay activation are all available to
users. By encouraging the use of electric vehicles, this pay per use system not
only encourages sustainable practices but also adds a revenue generating
component to the infrastructure of smart lighting.

Users initiate charging by scanning a QR code displayed at the station,
directing them to a payment gateway for secure transaction processing. Upon
payment verification, confirmed success triggers the relay control system,
activating the relay and enabling electricity flow to the EV charger. This initiates
the charging process. To prevent overcharging and unauthorized use, a timer
mechanism within the relay system initiates a cutoff after a preset duration,
typically 1 hour. Following this period, the relay deactivates, discontinuing
electricity supply to the charger. Users are promptly notified as the charging
session approaches its end, ensuring they can unplug their vehicle and free up the
charging space. Throughout the process, the system monitors key parameters,

6.6 Motion Based Lighting:
This picture shows our computer vision (CV) equipped webcam detecting
motion using our intelligent lighting management system in action. Motion
detection using a webcam involves analyzing consecutive video frames captured
by the camera to identify changes indicative of motion within the scene. Initially,
the webcam continuously captures video frames at regular intervals, representing
snapshots of the scene at specific moments. Subsequently, these frames are
compared to detect differences, typically achieved through frame differencing
techniques. A threshold process is then applied to highlight significant changes,
distinguishing them from minor variations or noise. Detected changes signify
potential motion regions within the video frames. Further analysis techniques,
such as object tracking, may be employed to precisely monitor the movement of
detected objects across frames. Upon detecting motion, appropriate actions can
be triggered, including generating alerts, recording video footage, or activating
security measures. This process occurs in real time, allowing continuous
monitoring of the camera feed for any changes or movements within the scene.
The LED light is turned on by the system's smart adjustment when motion is
detected. On the other hand, it decreases brightness when there is no motion.
Environmentally friendly DC street lights can be used in place of LEDs in real
world situations to improve energy efficiency.
