STREET LIGHTS MONITOR (FAILURE LIGHTS ALERT) AND CONTROLLER OVER INTERNET FOR SMART CITIES

              Now a day’s so many useful technologies are coming out to make our life style more comfort, luxurious and secure. Especially internet technology brings up many applications and advantages for present and future generations. Present world mostly is being controlled by internet. Previously internet is limited to only computers but because of the advancement in technology especially in mobile communication, now internet is completely being accessed by latest phones like Smart phones.

AIM: The aim of this project is to monitor and control the street lights over Internet for smart cities.

In this project we will create an application to control Street lights from webpage. This web page can be opened from anywhere using mobile or computer. In this web page we have some options or buttons to control the appliances, whenever we operate this application then it sends command to controlling system through internet link 

 At controlling system side we have Ethernet module, micro controller and load controlling circuits. Whenever this Ethernet module receives command from its web application then it transfers this command to micro controller. Micro controller will control the respective lights depends upon the command it received and when any light gets failure its intimate the particular as light fault. The communication between internet and micro controller is established using Ethernet module and the controller is used in this project is ARM7 based LPC2148 32 bit controller. We can also control loads of that industry from this webpage
