MUMBAI, India, May 1 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641050561 A) filed by Easwari Engineering College, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, on April 21, for 'sensor-based street light fault detection system.'
Inventor(s) include Srihari Charan R; Vineet Rawat S; Vineeth B; and Dr J Deepa.
The application for the patent was published on May 1, under issue no. 18/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The sensor-based smart street light fault detection and monitoring system is a cost-effective solution that improves reliability and maintenance of street lighting. Its main goal is to automatically detect faults and enable real-time monitoring through cloud platforms, reducing manual inspections and delays. The system uses Light Dependent Resistor sensors to monitor light intensity 15 from street lamps. When a light works properly, the sensor detects sufficient brightness. If the light fails, the drop in intensity indicates a fault. These readings are processed by an Arduino Uno, which compares them with predefined threshold values to determine the status of each street light. The processed data is then sent to an ESP32 module, which enables WiFi 20 communication and transmits data to the ThingSpeak cloud platform for remote monitoring, dashboards, live updates, and graphs, ensuring scalable, efficient, and intelligent street lighting management. It also supports quick fault alerts and reduces maintenance costs significantly overall."
