Energy Efficient Outdoor Light Monitoring and Control Architecture Using Embedded System

Abstract : In this letter, we propose an energy efficient ZigBee-based outdoor light monitoring and control system that can monitor and handle outdoor lights more efficiently as compared to the conventional systems. The proposed system uses the ZigBee-based wireless devices which allow more efficient lamps management. The designed system uses sensors to control and guarantee the optimal system parameters. To realize effectiveness of the proposed system, the prototype has been installed inside the University, where the experimental results proved that the proposed system saves around 70.8% energy for the outdoor street environment because of using sensors, LED lamps, and ZigBee based communication network.

 EXISTING SYSTEM :

 ? The Internet Of Things also giving promising future in smart city urban light monitoring. ? The existing systems use fuzzy logic of data from real time clock and Light dependent resistor to reduce the power consumption of the lights. ? One of the drawbacks of utilizing WIMAX and GPRS is the utilization of licensed spectrum, which will result in interference with the existing WIMAX and GPRS users. ? To implement wireless control system of lights, several comparable architectures have been applied for outdoor lighting. ? In the design of the intelligent lighting system by considering the system cost as the main factor beside the energy saving.

 DISADVANTAGE :

 ? Traditional lighting systems have disadvantages such as lack of pervasive and effective communications, monitoring, automation, and fault diagnostics problems. ? Moreover these traditional systems suffer from the lack of pervasive and effective communications, monitoring, automation, and fault diagnostics problems. ? To further reduce the energy consumptions and to simplify the wiring structure, numerous lighting control systems have been proposed to solve that problem such as: occupancy sensing approach, light level tuning, and power line communication (PLC). ? It has also impact on cardiac rhythm in human beings which also increase stress levels.

 PROPOSED SYSTEM :

 • This paper proposes an effective way to manage outdoor lights using embedded systems and Internet of things. • In this paper, we propose an energy efficient RFbased outdoor light monitoring and control system that can monitor and handle outdoor lights more efficiently as compared to the conventional systems. • The proposed system uses the RFbased wireless devices which allow more efficient lamps management. • The proposed system also implemented the standard mesh routing algorithm which results in better network performance as compared to the conventional systems. • The proposed system also fulfills the user satisfaction by using occupancy and illumination sensors.

 ADVANTAGE :

 ? The proposed ZB-OLC system also implemented the standard mesh routing algorithm which results in better network performance as compared to the conventional systems. ? The proposed prototype has been tested under outdoor scenarios to verify its validity, functionality, and performance in the real-life conditions. ? The systems based on these technologies need further improvement to increase the energy efficiency. ? The lighting system will also require efficient interference avoiding algorithms to cope with interference, but this is not suitable for the lighting systems.
