Intelligent Ambient Light-Controlled Street Lighting System for Power Optimization
Priyadarshini Jainapur, Sandeep S, K Poornima Kamath
Abstract: Street lighting is a significant expense for many cities, primarily due to the high power consumption of sodium vapour lamps. The financial resources allocated to street lighting could be better utilized for other developmental projects. Traditional manual systems, which turn lights on in the evening and off in the morning, often result in substantial energy wastage. This paper proposes an automated system to address these issues, leveraging ambient light sensors to dynamically adjust street light intensity based on surrounding brightness. This eliminates the need for rigid time-based operation schedules, reducing energy consumption and associated costs.
The proposed system is cost-effective and easy to maintain, employing Arduino and Light Dependent Resistors (LDRs) to monitor environmental light levels and control the brightness of LED streetlights accordingly. By replacing High-Intensity Discharge (HID) lamps with LED clusters, the system offers a more energy-efficient solution, consuming approximately one-third to one-half of the power required by HID lighting. Additionally, LEDs have a lifespan over three times longer than HID lamps, minimizing maintenance and replacement efforts. This intelligent street lighting system not only enhances energy efficiency but also contributes to significant long-term savings and sustainability.

Automation of Integrated Circuit Parameters Measurement using LabVIEW
Nishanth G S, SuryaTej Y S, Vishnu Prasad R, Vishwanath, Priyadarshini Jainapur
Abstract: The measurement of electrical parameters, whether AC or DC, is a crucial step in the design, development, and validation of integrated circuits. As integrated circuits continue to evolve, incorporating increasingly complex and diverse functional blocks, the need for comprehensive and thorough measurement becomes increasingly important.
The measurement process involves several key stages. First, functional testing ensures that the IC operates correctly. This is followed by timing and power analysis, which identifies potential timing violations and optimizes power consumption to enhance energy efficiency. Voltage and frequency scaling experiments are also conducted to investigate the IC’s performance.
Furthermore, validation and compliance checks are performed to ensure adherence to industry standards and regulatory requirements. Sophisticated simulation techniques play a vital role in facilitating the measurement process, enabling a faster and more cost-effective assessment of the IC’s behaviour. Building on this foundation, this paper explores the automation of the measurement process using LabVIEW, with a focus on streamlining and optimizing the testing and validation of integrated circuits.
Keywords: Integrated Circuits, LabVIEW, AC measurement, DC measurement.

HEART ATTACK, ALCOHOL DETECTION AND MONITORING IN SMART TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM
Dhanamma, Mahesha G, Shreekanth, Priyadarshini Jainapur
Abstract: This project presents the development of an innovative smart transportation system using the Arduino Uno microcontroller, designed to enhance driver safety by monitoring heart attack symptoms and detecting alcohol consumption in real-time. The primary objective is to prevent accidents caused by health emergencies and impaired driving by implementing an automated emergency vehicle stop mechanism.
The system integrates a pulse sensor to continuously monitor the driver’s heart rate, detecting irregularities such as tachycardia (abnormally high heart rate) or bradycardia (abnormally low heart rate) that may indicate an impending heart attack. Concurrently, an MQ-3 alcohol sensor measures the driver’s breath alcohol concentration, identifying levels that exceed a predetermined threshold indicative of intoxication. Both sensors relay data to the Arduino Uno, which processes the information and triggers appropriate actions.
In the event of detecting an abnormal heart rate or high alcohol concentration, the system initiates multiple safety protocols. It activates an alert system, including a buzzer and an LCD display to notify the driver, and uses a GSM module to send emergency notifications, including the vehicle’s current location, to predefined contacts such as emergency services or family members. Simultaneously, a relay module interfaced with the Arduino Uno controls a motor driver to safely bring the vehicle to a gradual stop, preventing sudden halts that could cause further hazards.
Keywords: Arduino UNO, Alcohol Sensor, Heat beat sensor, Enhanced Road Safety, Emergency Vehicle Stops.
