In olden days street lights were not operated in an automatic way. Automation of street lights has become apparent these days. But we can notice that we do not require high intensity light during night hours, i.e. when there is no traffic, no people in the streets or on roads and even in the early mornings. As per requirement, the light intensity can be reduced using dimmer circuit. Light dependent resistor (LDR) sensors are used to sense the darkness and Passive Infrared (PIR) sensors are to detect the objects. Raspberry Pi (Master node) and Arduino (Slave node) will communicate each other and they help the proposed system to work more effectively. Current sensor and Voltage sensor are used to measure the current and voltage respectively. By reducing the intensity at these times, energy can be saved to some extent and the data is uploaded to the cloud. We can monitor and control the street lights in a smart way as per our requirement. Fault detection, minimization of cost, reducing the loss of electricity and man power are also possible. Hence, this proposed smart street lighting system will be helpful to the society in cost effective way.

This paper presents the design and implementation of control strategy for both the speed and direction of a direct current (DC) motor using Android-based application in smart phone. The Raspberry Pi 3 with a motor driver controller has been used to implement the control action via Python-based user-defined programming. The Android application has been developed using Android Developer Tools (ADT) in Java platform. The Android apps work like a client and communicates with Raspberry Pi through wi-fi connectivity. Finally, a small graphical user interface (GUI) has been created in Python in order to interface and control the motor with buttons in GUI. The advantages of GUI are that it is attractive, user friendly, and even a layman can work with the application developed in GUI.

Abstract: Today's engendering has a rage about faired bikes because they endeavour ergonomic glances as well as speeds. Although it has now graced a fact that most motorcycle accidents occur in darkness due to poor illumination and are more dangerous when the bike is cornering. As per the present contour of headlamps of fairing bikes, the headlamps become stable, giving rider vision at an upright position. These headlights do not provide enough illumination on bent roads and put riders in a vulnerable position. To overcome this dilemma, an alternative lighting system was needed. The goal of the project is to discover a cost-effective explication, increasing the safety and comfort of the rider. This called for cornering lights for faired bikes to persuade the road at the corner. The cornering lights serve riders by illuminating the shadowed area of the curve providing better vision. The Cornering lights can not only be useful in twilight but also bad weather, the rider can have a clear vision and control on the motorbike. The rider may react to the state of danger at an appropriate time. Keywords: Motorcycle Cornering Lights, Smart Headlights, Guidable headlight, Adaptive headlight, cornering headlight, safety technology, deflecting headlight.

In street lighting system, the light pole controllers were used to monitoring and control each street light. The controller nodes were installed at each lighting pole and make up a network with RTUs. In this paper, a randomly forwarding routing strategy was proposed based on the controller network features. The controller nodes were divided many clusters according to the substation power scope. In one cluster, the controller nodes topology is mainly star structure. When a controller node received a packet, it randomly delays a period of time and decides forwarding packet instead of immediately forwarding. The decision is based on the packet propagation direction and other nodes whether sending or not. The randomly forwarding routing protocol were simulated in OMNeT++ environment and compared with the flooding protocol. The results show that the delay of proposed protocol is lower than that of flooding. The proposed protocol also has some special features such as simple, not need to maintain net topology and complex path discovery algorithms.

Electricity transmission and distribution in most of the countries are needed to be improved by the construction of new networks. These improvements are not that much cost effective and if cost is tried to be reduced then the quality and efficiency of the system is compromised which is not suitable at all for the current system. In addition obtaining planning permission and carrying out construction is so much difficult in busy cities. The main objective of this research is to monitor and control frequency deviation. A simple MATLAB controlling and monitoring system is being developed and the ARDUINO DAQ card is used to calculate the frequency deviation. The purpose of respective research is basically based on a dummy load which is used to show the usage of particular equipment’s used in a home such as fridge, freezer ,oven , lighting system, and domestic wet appliances such as washer dryer  which are attached these to a DAQ and then to a controlling and monitoring GUI MATLAB based. However, this research is focused on the monitoring and controlling of the frequency deviation.


In today's modern world, mechanical strength is just one of the many criteria that determine the superiority of any boiler. There are many other more important aspects such as efficiency, 24-hour availability, ease of maintenance, environmental compliance, etc. Modern high-pressure boilers that are equipped with areas optimized for heat transfer due to its nominal load require some of the important operating parameters to be carefully checked to maintain constant production. Thought instrumentation is a very broad topic to discuss, this document highlights some of the tools and control circuits necessary for safe, economical and reliable operation of boilers. In this research project we are monitoring and controlling six important parameters with which the output of the process will be stable. Here we are using parameters sensors: oxygen sensor, humidity sensor, flow sensor, current sensor. This project uses the RASPBERRY PI microcontroller, the output of the sensors produces the analog signal, this signal directly connected to the Raspberry pi microcontroller. The controlled parameters tend to stabilize ensuring the quality of the process in the boiler

Proper street lighting has psychological, ecological and economic functions. Not only does it provide safety in settlements at night, but it also makes streets friendlier. Inadequate quantity and quality of street luminaries can cause troubles in the ecosystems of settlements. Public lighting management is the responsibility of local governments, and therefore it matters how much the operation and maintenance burden the budget. The modernisation of the obsolete street lighting system and the installation of a reliable and energy-saving (cost-effective in the long run) system is taking place in more and more places. Large cities (domestic cities with county rights) deserve special attention due to the concentration of the population, functions and through them the concentration of environmental impacts.


This paper aims to present an Intelligent Street Light System which is used to control the intensity of street lights based on motion detection of people and vehicles and to turn on the LED lights only when required. The system provides a cost-effective and an energy efficient solution for street lighting applications. The system operates in two modes, Bright state and Dim State. Passive Infrared (PIR) Sensors are used for motion detection. On detection of motion, the LED Bulbs are put into BRIGHT state, which otherwise remain in DIM state. The change in intensity levels from DIM to BRIGHT and vice-versa is achieved by a dimmer circuit. Detection of motion is also communicated to neighboring street lights, over WiFi, which also then change their state to BRIGHT state. The microcontroller used is ESP8266.
