Abstract
A major concern facing street lighting is the malfunction of lights which not only poses a danger to public safety but also leads to unnecessary energy wastage. The current approach to identifying and locating faulty lights relies on manual inspections which are not only inefficient but also time-consuming. This paper presents a novel solution in the form of a centralized monitoring system capable of real-time fault detection and location tracking for street lights. The system employs sensor nodes attached to individual lights equipped with light detectors and potentially voltagecurrent sensors. These nodes communicate wirelessly with a central server transmitting valuable data on light status environmental conditions and potential electrical irregularities. By leveraging advanced algorithms the server can efficiently detect faults and accurately pinpoint their location using GPS integration or unique identifiers. Subsequently maintenance crews receive automated alerts leading to quicker response times and effective management of street lighting infrastructure. This innovative approach offers numerous advantages including improved public safety reduced energy consumption and streamlined maintenance efforts.
