Abstract

In many countries, street lighting constitutes a significant portion of the total electrical power consumption. Unfortunately, this energy is often wasted due to the unnecessary illumination of less frequented streets. To address this issue, our project introduces a smart street lighting system that optimizes energy usage by automatically turning off lights in underused areas and illuminating high-traffic streets during dark hours. This system is seamlessly connected to a mobile application, allowing users to manually control street lighting, fostering a sense of community involvement. In addition to energy efficiency, our initiative addresses waste management challenges. Overflowing trash bins have been a persistent issue, leading to environmental concerns and unsightly surroundings. To combat this problem, our waste management system alerts users when a trash can is near capacity, enabling timely action. Real-time bin status updates are sent to a user-friendly web application through the cloud, empowering residents to monitor and manage waste disposal effectively. Furthermore, we tackle safety concerns associated with gas pipeline infrastructure. Gas leaks can result in devastating human and property losses. To predict potential leaks caused by pipeline fractures, we've developed a temperature monitoring system for gas pipeline tunnels. Sensors continuously monitor temperature levels within the tunnels, and this data is transmitted to a mobile application over the cloud. In the event of a sharp temperature increase, an alarm is triggered, providing early warning to workers, and preventing potential disasters. Our integrated IoT solutions not only enhance urban sustainability but also prioritize safety and environmental consciousness. By efficiently managing street lighting, waste disposal, and gas pipeline safety, our project strives to create smarter, safer, and more sustainable cities for the benefit of all residents and the environment.
