Design and implementation of smart raffic and sreetlight systems

Abstract

Smart city is seen to be one of the most dominant aspects in the last few years, and one special application of the internet of things. Smart traffic light and streetlight systems are major components of smart city infrastructure and are of an important use nowadays to ease the way of our life. The first part is about building a smart traffic light system that has been implemented by using OpenCV software and PYTHON programming language that aims to have smart way for signal management which will ultimately be a cost effective solution. The system includes a camera placed facing a lane that will capture images of the road on which we want to control traffic. These images are efficiently processed to know the traffic density. According to the processed data, a microcontroller will send command to the LED to manage the traffic. The second part is about implementing a smart streetlight system; it is the one which automatically switches ON and OFF the lights according to the situation. It automatically senses the movements of the object within a particular limit, The smart street light controller installed on the street light pole will control LED street lighting depending on movements of the object in the street, The control system will switch ON and OFF the street lights at needed timings and can also vary the intensity of the streetlight according to the necessity.
