Abstract: IOT BASED SMART STREET LIGHT MONITORING AND AUTOMATED POWER FAILURE NOTIFICATION SYSTEM ABSTRACT OF THE INVENTION Streetlights consume a huge amount of energy and the lights are on the street even though there is no one in the street. Also, the power failure will be notified to the electrical technician manually and this takes a huge time to rectify. These flaws can be effectively handled by monitoring and optimizing the energy consumption of streetlights with the help of a smart and automated IoT based system. The street lights are equipped with LDR sensors which are in turn connected with an IoT-based cloud server where it detects the movement of individuals or vehicles in the street. If the sensor detects any movement in the street, the microcontroller sends a signal to the street light, which turns it on. Similarly, if there is no movement in the street, the lights are turned off by the microcontroller. In addition to this feature, the power failure will be monitored by the interconnected IoT-based cloud system. In case of power failure in the particular line, it is intimated to the concerned technician to repair the same automatically by the system without any human intervention. By deploying this smart and automated IoT system, a reasonable amount of energy will be saved for the future and power transmission failure is informed dynamically by the system.

, Description:FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The field of this invention relates to IoT based application, software and more particularly in the development of IoT based smart street light monitoring and automated power failure notification system to use the street lights effectively so that it reduces total energy consumption and also to notify the electricity board technician about the power failures automatically.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
One of a city's most significant – and costly – tasks is to provide street lighting in normal cities. Lighting can account for 10–38 percent of the entire energy bill globally (NYCGP 2009). The importance of street illumination cannot be overstated and the major worry for governments in poor countries due to its crucial economic importance as well as societal stability, lighting that is inefficient wastes a lot of money each year and also financial resources are depleted.
Energy efficient technologies and design can significantly lower street lighting costs (typically by 25-60%), allowing for the elimination or reduction of the demand for new power plants and the funding of alternative energy solutions for people living in remote places. A well-designed, energy-efficient street lighting system should allow users to commute at night in safety and comfort while decreasing energy use and expenses and improving the neighborhood's aesthetic.
Despite the country's lack of energy, it is usual to see street lights on even throughout the day. There is a waste of electricity as a result of this. Once again, analytics is required to determine how much energy is wasted and how it might be reduced. In this case, an IoT-based solution that keeps track of which lights are on and how much electricity they consume will be the most useful. In order to give data for analytics, the solution should feature either phase wise control or individual light wise control. The supervisors will benefit greatly from a single gateway device that can upload this data to the Internet while also controlling the lights.
An IoT based smart street light monitoring and automated power failure notification system enables us to use the street lights effectively so that it reduces total energy consumption and also notifies the electricity board technician about the power failures automatically.

The aim of the invention is to develop IoT based smart street light monitoring and automated power failure notification system to use the street lights effectively so that it reduces total energy consumption and also to notify the electricity board technician about the power failures automatically. The street lights are equipped with LDR sensors which are in turn connected with an IoT-based cloud server where it detects the movement of individuals or vehicles in the street. If the sensor detects any movement in the street, the microcontroller sends a signal to the street light, which turns it on while in off condition. The street lights remain in ON state until there is no movement of objects or humans in the street for a period of time and retrains in the same state for a specified period of time. The system also notifies the respective electricity board technician about the power transmission failure automatically to resolve it. By adopting this smart IoT system in electricity field, we could use the street lights effectively and thus it reduces total energy consumption and also to notify the electricity board technician about the power failures automatically.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
FIG. 1 represents how the IoT based smart street light monitoring and automated system integrates sensor and microcontroller with IoT cloud server to detect human motion and power transmission line failure.
FIG. 2 represents the overall description of IoT based smart street light monitoring and automated power failure notification system to use the street lights effectively so that it reduces total energy consumption and also to notify the electricity board technician about the power failures automatically.
The IoT based smart street light monitoring and automated system integrates sensor and microcontroller with IoT cloud server to detect human motion and power transmission line failure. Every street lamp equipped with the sensor and continuously works on sensing the human or vehicle motion under the region of light coverage. If the sensor detects any objects movement around the coverage region, the street lamp is enabled to turn ON and it glows for a particular period of time. This turn ON state continues until there is no object or vehicle movement around its region of coverage for a specified period of time. The light goes to OFF state if no motion is identified. Furthermore, the street lamps light intensity can be reduced to low if there is no movement of object or vehicles and enhance the light intensity if any object’s motion encounters. Also, the street lamp equipped with the sensors continuously monitors the power failure in the electrical transmission line and these lamps are interconnected with a centralized IoT enabled cloud server. These lamps are embedded with IoT sensor to establish communication between the lamps and the IoT server. If the power transmission line failure occurs or any other interruption takes place in the electrical line, the IoT sensor communicates this information to the attached IoT cloud server. Inside the server, a database is maintained which contains the list of electrical technicians and their contact mobile number. These technicians are mapped along with the area which is allotted to resolve the problem. The server intimates the issue in the power line to the allotted technician by means of sending SMS or call regarding the electrical problem along the location details. Once the technician receives the issue message, he will resolve the power failure and the same will updated or reported to the system automatically by the IoT sensor. In this way, IoT based smart street light monitoring and automated power failure notification system utilize the street lights effectively so that it reduces total energy consumption and also the system notifies the electricity board technician about the power failures automatically.
