Microcontroller Project Example

This document describes a vehicle movement based street light system that uses a PIC microcontroller to save energy by only turning lights on when vehicles are present. Sensors detect vehicle movement and signal the PIC controller to switch lights on at 100% intensity or keep them at 10% intensity otherwise. The system aims to only illuminate streets when needed unlike conventional systems that leave lights on constantly. Hardware components include LEDs, transformers, IR LEDs, diodes, transistors, and voltage regulators. Software includes MPLAB and embedded C programming.

Vehicle Movement Based Street Light Using PIC

Vehicle Movement Based Street Lights Project mainly aims at saving


energy. The system acheives this by switching on the street lights only
when a vehicle will pass by it and to switch off the lights when there are
no vehicles in the street. Thus the system can be used to save a lot of
energy by allowing only the required lights to be turned ON as soon as
the system senses vehicle movement and to switch off the lights as soon
as the vehicle moves ahead. Thus unlike the current system which keeps
the street lights ON, irrespective of the vehicle movement. The system
uses another mode of operation where the street lights are turned ON
with 10% intensity and when the vehicle movement is sensed, the
system switches ON lights with 100% intensity.PWM is used for
intensity control through microcontroller. The sensors senses the vehicle
movement and the sends messages to PIC controller which then the send
commands to either switch ON or swithch OFF the streeyt lights.
