Urban areas face growing challenges in energy consumption, safety, and infrastructure management. Conventional street lighting systems rely on fixed schedules, often leading to unnecessary power wastage and high operational costs. This study proposes a Smart Electric Pole system integrating solar energy, IoT technology, Light Dependent Resistors (LDRs), motion sensors, and smart surveillance cameras to optimize energy use and enhance urban security. The system ensures automatic lighting control by activating lights only in low-light conditions or when motion is detected, thereby reducing energy wastage significantly. Smart cameras provide real-time monitoring of public spaces, while an emergency switch allows citizens to trigger alerts in critical situations, improving responsiveness. IoT connectivity with cloud storage enables remote access, data management, and continuous monitoring. By combining renewable energy, intelligent automation, and security features, the proposed system promotes sustainable urban development, cost efficiency, and public safety, contributing to the broader vision of smart cities.
KEYWORDS
The Smart Pole system integrates renewable energy, IoT, and automation to enhance urban infrastructure. By utilizing solar power, motion sensors, LDRs, and smart cameras, it ensures energy-efficient lighting and improved security. The IoT-based monitoring system allows real-time data transmission, enabling remote access via a smartphone application. This intelligent system reduces energy wastage, minimizes manual intervention, and enhances public safety through automated surveillance and emergency alert features. The combination of smart technologies makes it an ideal solution for smart cities, parking areas, campuses, and industrial zones. Overall, Smart Poles contribute to sustainability, cost-effectiveness, and urban modernization, paving the way for a more secure and energy-efficient future.
