---------------------------------------------------------------------***--------------------------------------------------------------------1.1 EXISTING SURVEY Abstract – This paper addresses the objective of providing an "IoT-based automatic street lighting system" during the night. Street lighting is an essential part of all cities and highways, helping to prevent accidents and unwanted thefts or robberies. Thousands of street lights are installed along highways and main roads. But the main problem is that these street lights consume about 25-30% of the total energy used in the city. A simple and effective solution would be dimming the off-peak lights. Whenever a presence is detected, the lights around it turns on in normal (bright) mode. This would save a lot of energy and also reduce the cost of running public lighting. We can check the status of the street lights on the Internet using IoT (Internet of things) from anywhere in real time and solve problems if they occur during processing.

There already exists many ideas about the Smart Street Light Systems. S. Suganya et al. designed a street light beam to detect vehicle movement using the isa sensor system, which uses the latest technology for light sources such as LED lamps. It is also used to automatically control street light switching based on light intensity to develop dynamic flow-based control statistics using infrared detection technology and maintain wireless communication between the street light pole and the control terminal using the ZigBee Wireless protocol. It also combines various technologies: timer, operating current size statistics, photodiodes, LEDs, power transistors.

K. Santha et al conducted a survey on vehicle movementbased street lighting system. The system works in automatic mode, which regulates the street lighting according to the brightness and dimming algorithm and light intensity. Regulation can be made according to seasonal fluctuations. It is equipped with a time-off function and an automatic control pattern to save electricity. The entire project was implemented using a PIC microcontroller. He designed an automatic remote-control system for public lighting based on ZigBee. The system is designed with the help of ZigBee modules that help in detecting faulty lights and controlling the light. It also discusses an intelligent system that automatically decides on/off/dimming based on vehicle or pedestrian movement as well as the surrounding environment. The PIR motion sensor is used to detect the movement of living and non-living things.

1. INTRODUCTION Street lighting is an integral part of any development site. They are present on all major roads as well as in the suburbs. The street lights are powered from sunset to sunrise every day at full power, even when no one is around. Globally, millions of dollars are spent on these street lights every day to provide the required electricity. The maintenance and replacement costs of conventional light bulbs are huge. They use a lot of electricity to function and their heat emissions are also quite high. All of this contributes to greater demand for electricity generation and, consequently, greater carbon dioxide emissions from power plants. Along with unnecessary light pollution, this practice also damages our planet. This system is very easy to implement, the key components of this project are LDR, IR Sensor, Arduino Board and LED. The Arduino board is the brain of this project that controls the entire system. The IR sensor acts as the eye of this project to detect the presence of vehicles or people on the road and the LDR senses the presence or absence of sunlight and the LEDs represent the street lights.

In 2015, M. Abhishek et al implemented a traffic flow-based street lighting control system design with efficient use of solar energy. For street lighting, they used a renewable source of energy, i.e., solar energy. They also used 8052 series microcontrollers and is developed by replacing normal LED bulbs, thanks to which energy consumption is reduced by 3 times. On both sides of the road, there are sensors that detect the movement of the vehicle and send commands to the microcontroller to turn the lights on and off. Here, all street lights remain off and only come on when it detects vehicle movement. Therefore, because of the microcontroller, even if it is night, the lights are on or off.

During the day, the system detects LDR sunlight and turns off the street lighting (LED). When the system detects darkness (in the evenings), it turns on the street lights (LED). When the street lamp is turned on, if the system does not detect any vehicles or people moving on the road using the IR sensor, it will turn on the low-intensity lights. When the system detects the movement of vehicles or people using the IR sensor, it turns on the street lights with high intensity.
