Energy Efficient Outdoor Light Monitoring and Control Architecture Using Embedded System

Abstract

In this letter, we propose an energy efficient ZigBee-based outdoor light monitoring and control system that can monitor and handle outdoor lights more efficiently as compared to the conventional systems. The proposed system uses the ZigBee-based wireless devices which allow more efficient lamps management. The designed system uses sensors to control and guarantee the optimal system parameters. To realize effectiveness of the proposed system, the prototype has been installed inside the University, where the experimental results proved that the proposed system saves around 70.8% energy for the outdoor street environment because of using sensors, LED lamps, and ZigBee based communication network.
