Smart Street Light: Adaptive Dimming with Fault Reporting
Approx. component budget: Rs. 6,000 - 11,000
Objective
Reduce the energy used by dimming lights when there is no traffic and automatically report failed lamps.
What you will build
A set of LED street lights with LDR for daylight, motion or radar sensors for traffic, PWM dimming and a current sensor per lamp to detect faults, reported through a gateway.
Results you can expect
- Energy used vs a fixed-brightness system
- Dimming levels vs traffic
- Fault detection success rate
- Lux level on the ground
What you will learn
LED drivers, sensing, wireless reporting and smart-city applications.
Tools and notes
ESP32, LED modules with drivers, lux meter, Excel. Use low-voltage LEDs and a certified supply.
Resume points from this project
- Built and tested Smart Street Light: Adaptive Dimming with Fault Reporting; objective: reduce the energy used by dimming lights when there is no traffic and automatically report failed lamps.
- Measured and analysed energy used vs a fixed-brightness system and dimming levels vs traffic; wrote the report and presented the results in a viva. Add your own numbers: [x].
Replace [x] with your own measured results. Write only what you really did.
