Wireless Streetlight Control System
[attachment=67619]
ABSTRACT
This paper describes the use of wireless sensor network for
streetlight monitoring and control. As we look at existing
systems the power consumption and maintenance cost of
streetlight control department is high. This system would
provide an optimal costing for streetlight maintenance and
control. System employed use of network processing device
(nodes) for sensing of light and then gathered information is
used for controlling streetlight ON/OFF or streetlight
intensity. Life of Street Lamps depends on the duration for
which they get used. In this research, I will try to reduce the
required duration for which lamp should be ON, focuses on
increasing frequency band for network nodes to get maximum
possible data rate and also discuss the parameters required to
automatic detection and removal of nodes in the network. This
paper also discusses the cost comparison between current
system, sensor control system and this system with profile
implementation.
INTRODUCTION
In today‟s competitive world where demand for internets,
intranets and telecommunications are increasing, wired
networks are beginning to lose its significance. The scenario
is best described with use of street lights having wired
networks. In wired networks, the installation cost,
maintenance of street lights, power consumption, monitoring
and management of street lights are the various problems that
are rising up. Such complexities can be easily removed by
using the concept of Wireless Sensor Networks.
A wireless sensor network (WSN) is a wireless network
consisting of spatially distributed autonomous devices using
sensors which works corporately to monitor physical or
environmental conditions, such as temperature, sound, light,
vibration, pressure, at different locations.
LITERATURE SURVEY
Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is a wireless network
consisting of spatially distributed autonomous devices using
sensors to cooperatively monitor physical or environmental
conditions, such as temperature, sound, vibration, pressure,
motion or pollutants, at different locations In addition to
one or more sensors, each node in a sensor network which
typically equipped with a radio transceiver or other wireless
communications device, a small microcontroller, and an
energy source, usually a battery. The envisaged size of a
single sensor node can vary from shoebox-sized nodes down
to devices the size of grain of dust [17][18][19][20], A sensor
network normally constitutes a wireless ad-hoc network,
meaning that each sensor supports a multi-hop routing
algorithm (several nodes may forward data packets to the base
station).
Tyco Electronic systems
An “Intelligent Street Lighting and Street Light Monitoring”
system has been developed which maximizes energy saving
and minimizes unwanted light (as light pollution), but takes
account of the environment and safety standards needed in all
traffic conditions [2][4][7]. The energy saving is achieved by
driving each light source to the minimum illumination, needed
for specific time and weather conditions. Planned settings can
be overruled by environmental conditions such as heavy rain,
visibility, frost, traffic density and much more. The
requirement for the light level needed during each condition
can be predefined.
. CONCLUSION
This research paper work is an attempt to develop a Street
Light Control and Maintenance using WSN based application.
I have made use of the Sensor for the Street Light application
which aims to reduce the power consumption. The control
center will monitor and control all streetlights at real time.
The network has capability of automatic detection and
removal of nodes. I have done real time modeling for network
layer protocols. There is great scope for future work in this
area. The future work may include sensor position tracking,
more increased data transfer rate and reduction in initial
investment cost. I hope that this paper work will be of great
benefit to the WSN based application developers.
