Automation control and monitoring of public street lighting system based on internet of things

The Public Street Lighting System is a street lighting system at night or when the environment is dark. Control and monitoring system is one of the critical sides in the implementation of Public Street Lighting as a whole. So far, the Public Street Lighting treatment system is done manually, that causes many problems to the whole system. These problems resulted in very high maintenance costs and usability of Public Street Lighting that became not optimal. This paper is tended to design an automation control and monitoring of the system based on internet of things (IoT) system to address the problems. Several sensors, microprocessor system, actuators and a software graphical user interface are utilized in this research. Based on several experiments it can be said that the proposed system able to maintain Street Lighting System more satisfaction, low maintenance system and accurate.

I. Introduction

Street lights are objects that are used to illuminate at night or when dark environmental conditions allow road users to see clearly what they are going through so as to improve safety in traffic and maintain the security of the road users themselves. In general, the control of street lighting is still done manually on each lamp, where a person is required to switch on or off the lights as he desired [1].
