Ide
a
The project aim is to a Monitoring system for Street Lights
• Sender nodes(Arduino nano with required sensors and
transmitter), installed on street lights, continuously monitor
the lights' status and collect location coordinates.
• When a fault is detected or a status change occurs, sender
nodes use LoRa (RF) to wirelessly transmit this information to
the central receiver.
• The central receiver(ESP32 With inbuilt wifi, and LoRa as
receiver) processes the data, identifies faults, and sends
email notifications to designated personnel, thanks to its
network connectivity.
• This process enables real-time fault detection and ensuring
prompt maintenance actions are taken to improve service
quality.
LoRa
1.RF-Based Technology: LoRa, or Long Range, operates on radio
frequency (RF) signals, making it suitable for wireless
communication.
2.Maximum Range: LoRa stands out for its remarkable range,
reaching up to hundreds of kilometers depending on the
application and environmental conditions.
3.Versatile Applications: LoRa is highly versatile, finding use in
diverse fields such as IoT, smart cities, and industrial monitoring.
4.Energy-Efficient: Despite its long-range capabilities, LoRa
remains energy-efficient, prolonging battery life for connected
devices.
5.Adaptive Data Rates: LoRa adapts its data rates based on
signal conditions, ensuring optimal performance whether
transmitting over long distances or short ranges

Cases:
• Real-time fault detection • Communication network: The system will require a
• Precise location tracking of faulty street lights reliable communication network to transmit data
• Enhanced service quality for citizens from the street lighting controllers to the central
• Optimized street light maintenance processe monitoring system.
• Manpower: The project will require a team of skilled
engineers and technicians to design, develop, and
Dependencies: implement the system. It is important to identify and
• Street lighting controllers hire the necessary resources before starting
• Sensors development.
• Communication network • Cost: The development and implementation of the
• Central monitoring system system Might be costly at transmitter end. It is
• Data storage and analytic important to secure adequate funding for the project
• Power supply before starting development
