In developing countries like India, street lighting system is being controlled based on the timing and lighting conditions that are available, but there are no detectors for foggy conditions and due to the poor lighting conditions, there are many accidents taking place in the country. In this project we present a NodeMCU-based automation system to control the streetlights based on solar rays and object detection. We aim to design a system which no longer require time-consuming manual switching of the streetlights. The proposed work is accomplished by using a NodeMCU microcontroller, a light dependent resistor (LDR) and infrared-sensors(IR sensor) while, three main contributions are presented in this work. Firstly, we show that the streetlights can be controlled based on the climatic conditions and object’s detection. Here, the streetlights automatically go to DIM state during night-time and fog, to HIGH state on object’s detection and during day-time the streetlights will remain OFF. Secondly, the system will report the statistics of street lights operations and daily report of each street light to whether they are functioning as expected to the cloud. In addition, the system also reports the climatic conditions occurring during the day and solar panels are implemented in order to recharge the battery. Thirdly, the system is also being built for the pedestrian’s safety. In which, there is a beep sound generated at the zebra crossing when a vehicle is approaching. This system is designed for lab-scale prototype to experimentally validate the efficiency, reliability, and low-cost of the systems. The proposed systems can be easily implemented and tested under real conditions at large-scale, that will be useful in the future applications for automation systems.
