Solar-Powered Road Signs

Aim

The aim of the project is to Implement road signs powered by solar energy for sustainability

Problem statement

The system should incorporate energy-efficient technologies, effective energy storage solutions, and durable materials to withstand various environmental conditions. Consider factors such as real-time monitoring, automatic brightness adjustment based on ambient light conditions, and low maintenance requirements in creating a sustainable and reliable solution for enhancing road safety through solar-powered signage.

Material used

Input: Timer
Brain: TinkerSpace Brain Board
Output: RGB LED and Green LED
Battery: 5V Lithium-ion rechargeable battery

Component description
Timer

The function of the Timer is to

RGB LED

Here RGB led is used for the road when there is a red color the vehicles are supposed to be stopped and when green color it should move.

Green LED

Green Led is used for pedestrians.

TinkerSpace Brain Board

TinkerSpace board acts as brain of this project, its function is to monitor Timer and control the RGB LED and Green LED

Battery

5V Lithium-Ion battery is used to power-up this project

Working description

Case 1: When the timer is set to 30sec, The brain board sends the signal to RGB LED to turn on ,red LED to 100% and green LED 100%. 

Case 2: When the timer is set to 30sec, The brain board sends the signal to RGB LED to turn on , green LED 100% and red LED to 0%.

Circuit Design (DesignSpace)

Step 1: Connect TIMER to  input 1 

Step 2: Connect RGB LED to output3 and Green LED  to output 2

Step 3: Connect supply and test project.
