ABSTRACT

In order to save energy and for effective management of street lights, an intelligent streetlights monitoring device has been designed. The hardware part of the device is made up of MCU, GSM module, circuit of street lights, clock circuit, light controlling circuit, current detection circuit and so on. Software includes the main program, the subprogram for reading short message, subprogram for replying SMS, etc. The software is programmed with C language, and is compiled on the Keil platform. After the success, the .hex file is generated, which will be downloaded to the MCU. Experimental verification provides realization of the message to control the lights turn on and off. Also, the real-time clock can be realized to control the lights turning on and off, according to the sunlight to control the streetlamp. When the streetlamp is damaged, it can automatically alarm.
