AUTOMATIC ROAD SAFETY REFLECTOR LIGHTNING SYSTEM

Abstract

The Automatic Road Reflector is an effective system, will help us automate the traditional road
reflectors. A raised pavement marker is a safety device used on road to guide the vehicles along
the path at the time of night. The Automatic Road Reflector system is going to design to replace
this currently being used safety device. The proposed system is going to design to sense the
intensity of ambient light and work accordingly. At the time of low light, the system senses the
ambient light has been decreased and it lights up the reflector. On the other hand, the system will
turn itself into power saving mode at the time of bright light and will save energy.

To sense the intensity of light, the system consists of a photoresistor or light-dependent

resistor. The Light Dependent Resistor works on the basic principle of photoconductivity,
making them useful in light sensing. The term photoconductivity stands for a phenomenon in
which the conductivity of a substance increases while in contact with light. In general terms, the
LDR is made up of substance who has a low conductivity in darkness, and whenever it comes in
the contact with light the conductive property of the sensor increases. A typical light dependent
resistor has a resistance in the darkness of 1MOhm and in the brightness a resistance of a couple
of KOhm. The Automatic Road Reflector can be very essential in leading the vehicles on their
path at the time of night. The color of the LED can be rearranged in order to fulfill various
requirements. They can be used to divide the road, show a curvature or an exit on the road. They
can be very useful at the places like the airport and airport hangers where various colors of road
reflectors are used to fulfill various purposes.
