Question
^^^^In the current age of the Internet of Things (IoT), massive smart devices are connected wirelessly. Examples include the smart light, smart sensors, smart city, etc. With your current knowledge and creative thinking, please develop a technical plan and design for an innovative project. The project must provide a solution to a real-world problem using the latest wireless networking technologies. Create a presentation outlining your ideas. Limit yourself to a maximum of 15 PowerPoint slides.
The presentation should be 10-15 min in length (10-15 slides) and targeted at your proposed project. The purpose of the presentation is to show the audiences that you understand the real problem and project vision, that you have identified the requirements for the project, and that you have proposed a technical solution to address the problem. Your presentation should include a general overview of your design, reasons for proposed wireless technologies, and how it meets the specified project goals, and may discuss specific technical design issues or trade-offs that you have made in your design.

Explanation / Answer
Step 1: Introduction to IoT
IoT stands for Internet of Things.
IoT senses the event(s).
It transmits sensed information.
It accepts commands for taking an action.
It performs an action according to the received commands and the sensed information.
It uses the internet for communication with other things or objects.
Step2: Before proceeding with the project, let us understand one case study.
John is employed as a Streetlight operator. The main goal of his job is to turn on the street lights in the evening and turn it off in the morning. The other main responsibility of his job is to maintain the street lights. He needs to make sure that defective lights should be replaced on prior basis. He often forgets to turn off the street lights in the morning. Sometimes he forgets to turn on the street lights in the evening. He is also facing difficulty in identifying the defected lights.
Step3: Can you list issues identified from the case study?
Wastage of electricity if he forgets to turn off the light in the morning
Safety issues to people
Difficult to identify defected lights and maintain
Wastage of electricity if no one is either using the road to commute or travel
Step 4 and 5: To solve all those issues, the project "IoT based Smart Street Light System" would be helpful.
It works using sensors, microcontrollers, and internet.
The functionality is simple, if there is the presence of the object in the road, lights will turn on.
Based on the lightness of day or night, the lights will automatically turn on or off. Example: During the rainy season, at 4 PM itself it have been dark, then based on the light measuring sensors, the street lights would be turned on.
The defected lights can be identified and updated in the cloud.
Step6,7: How can it be implemented?
The prototype of this can be implemented using Arduino Microcontrollers, Sensors, ESP8266, ThingSpeak API.
Arduino comes in varies ranges like Uno, Mega etc. This microcontroller acts as a small computer wherein sensors, WiFi modules are embedded.
There are different sensors used for detecting lighting capacity, movements etc.
Light Sensor used to detect the lighting capacity and based on the given criteria, the light can be turned on or off.
Motion Sensor used to detect any movements.
Step8: WiFi Module
The WiFi module ESP8266 transmits sensor data over the internet.
Step9: ThingSpeak API
It is a website which allows real-time data transmission of the sensor at regular intervals.
Step10: Conclusion
It is the need of the hour that most of the things should be converted to 'smart' using cutting-edge IoT concepts and techniques.
