Automated Street Lighting with Motion Sensors (Arduino)

The Automated Street Lighting system uses motion sensors and Arduino technology to control street lighting based on the presence of pedestrians or vehicles. The system includes passive infrared (PIR) sensors that detect motion within a specified range. When motion is detected, the system activates the street lights, and when no motion is detected for a predefined period, the lights are turned off to conserve energy. The system can be connected to a central control unit that allows for remote monitoring and management of the streetlights. This project not only helps in reducing energy consumption by ensuring that lights are only on when needed, but it also improves safety in public spaces by ensuring well-lit areas when movement is detected. The use of Arduino makes it easy to customize the system and add additional features such as dimming or adjusting the light intensity based on the time of day or ambient light levels.
