Design And Construction Of An Automated Street Lighting System

ABSTRACT

This Project report presents details of the design and construction of a microcontrollerbased

automated intelligent street lighting system. The circuits are designed specifically

for self-intelligence and fault detection of the system.

The street light system consists of two circuit boards; the main printed circuit boards and

the street light pole printed circuit board.

The major components of the main printed circuit board are PIC microcontroller, GSM

module, voltage translator, multiplexer integrated circuit, resistors, and capacitors, while

the major components of the street light pole circuits are the light dependent resistor

circuit sensors, infrared sensors, PIC microcontroller, capacitor and resistors.

The Light Dependent Resistor is used for Automation, the Infrared sensor is used for

Intelligence; sensing movement and taking the LEDs to a full ON state and the GSM

module for fault detection.

The Printed Circuit Board circuits and their components are housed in its physical

framework. The circuit for the main board and the circuit for the street light pole were tested and worked properly as intended.
