Internet of things and fuzzy logic for smart street lighting prototypes

Abstract

Internet of things (IoT) and fuzzy logic are very useful in increasing the efficiency and effectiveness of a system; this study applies both to the street lighting systems. The prototype of a street lighting control and monitoring system has been completed. The status of lights that are on or off and the value of the light intensity can be monitored by using IoT. The intensity of the light is fuzzy controlled by utilizing the presence of vehicles and pedestrians around the lights. The prototype is made with a scale against real conditions. Data is processed and transmitted using a microcontroller and Wi-Fi on the IoT module. Mobile applications have been used on smartphone interfaces to monitor and control lamps wherever they are connected to the Internet. Changes in the status of lights to turn on or off are done by the relay module. The fuzzy light intensity control system uses sensors and microcontrollers by utilizing the presence of vehicles and pedestrians around the lights. Performance evaluation has been carried out on a miniature street lighting with the results of monitoring and control following its function. An analysis of the resulting energy savings has been demonstrated.

Modeling and implementation of a low-cost IoT-smart weather monitoring station and air quality assessment based on fuzzy inference model and MQTT protocol

“…Generally, FL can represent and process imprecise or approximate knowledge. In recent years, the number of applications based on FL theory has increased significantly (Belman-Flores et al 2022 ; Eriyadi et al 2021 ; Wu and Xu 2020 ). FL is ideal for such applications because it mimics human decision-making by generating precise solutions from ambiguous and imprecise data.…”

Smart ports: towards a high performance, increased productivity, and a better environment

“…According to the IEEE, the internet of things (IoT) is "a combination of sensors and embedded devices linked together to form a network for collecting and sharing data and connected to the internet" [71]. The IoT has been used in most areas of life, including smart farming [72], [73], smart cities [74], healthcare sector [75], smart home, smart river monitoring system [76], smart street lighting [77], and intelligent transport [78]. Some of the primary IoT applications at smart ports include real-time route planning and tracking of smart ships [79], container surveillance [80], transportation applications [81], storage capacity optimization [82], and e-navigation [83].…”

Smart Energy Public Street Lighting System

“…Interactions that do not require physical touch and the ability to send or receive data over a network because of its association with the environment can be defined as the Internet of Things. IoT has automatic remotecontrol capabilities that have a dominant impact on energy efficiency and organized energy management [15].…”
