ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
I, Satyajit Rout of class XII-I would like
to express my special thanks of
gratitude to my teacher Mr. SANJAY P.
DANDIA as well as our principal Mr.
Nilakantha panigrahi who gave me
the topic “AUTO STREET LIGHT
CONTROLLER” which also helped me
doing a lot of research and I came to
know about so many things. I am
really thankful to them.

I also owe my sincere gratitude to

other people who helped me in
various stages of the project.

 Introduction

We need save or conserve because most of the energy sources depends on like coal and natural gas
can’t be replaced. Once we use them, they are gone forever. Saving power is very important, instead
of using the power in unnecessary times it should be switched off. In any city street light is one of
the major power consuming factors. Most of the time we see streetlight are on even after sunrise
thus wasting lot of energy. Over here we are avoiding the problem by having an automatic system
which turns o and off the streetlight at given time or when ambient light falls below specific
intensity. LDR is used to detect the ambient light. If the ambient light is below a specific value the
lights are turned on.

A light dependent sensors is interfaced to the controller. When the sensor goes dark the LED will be
made on and when the sensor founds light the LED will be made off

It clearly demonstrate the working of transistor in saturation region and cut off region . the working
of relay is also known as microcontroller and the code is written in c language in mikroc ide.
Automatic street light system is a simple concept which uses transistor as a switch. By this system
manual works are completely removed. It automatically switches on light when the light goes below
ambient light. This is done using LDR which senses the light.
 Objective
The project aims to design an automatic streetlight that works in both conventional or non
conventional resources. Using LDR we control the street light, when the LDR value falls below the
threshold value the light are switched on and when the value the threshold value the light are
switched off. In order to save and conserve energy in an efficient way an intensity controller, based
on movement detection is used. This is done using a pair of sensors, whenever the value obtained at
the receiver is above the previously set threshold value an obstacle is identified and the LED
connected to the receiver will be switched on.
