ONLINE MONITORING OF SOLAR BASED STREET LIGHT AND GPRS BASED FAULT AUTOMATIC FAULT INTIMATION
project center in Tirunelveli
Badly lit roads lead to vehicle accidents and encourage crime. Therefore,
it is important to rapidly detect and report faulty streetlights (FSLs) to the
relevant authorities to keep roads safe. Currently, communities primarily
depend on electrical inspectors to check streetlights regularly, which may
result in long and unnecessary delays prior to repair. Recent studies have
focused on adding a networking capability (i.e., a wireless sensor network)
into street light poles to enable real-time status reports. However, a smart
system that would incorporate sensors and network modules into every
streetlight would be expensive; therefore, it would be nearly impossible to
realize this system quickly. In this project, we propose a noninvasive method
for detecting faults on the solar based street lights that involves with the
collection of information about streetlights’ intensity. The collected data
would be used to intimate the authorized person in the corporation about the
fault. The GPS system in our module can recognize the exact position and also
send sms through GPRS facility on it. This effective system can intimate the
fault occurred on the particular solar power street light without fail. This
system is not required any manual checking or else any manual intimation during
the fault occasions. The embedded controller will be a brain of this system
that will coordinates all the operations such as fault detection, GPS and GPRS
activities.
