Abstract

Tunnel electrification is essential for road safety and visibility inside tunnels. Conventional tunnel lighting consumes high power because lights remain ON continuously irrespective of traffic density. This research paper presents an ESP32 based smart lighting and safety system for road tunnels. The system uses sensors such as IR/Ultrasonic sensor for vehicle detection and LDR sensor for ambient light detection. Based on real-time sensor input, the ESP32 controller activates tunnel lighting section-wise, which reduces unnecessary electricity consumption. The system is further expandable with IoT monitoring through Wi-Fi for remote supervision and fault indication. The proposed smart tunnel electrification system improves energy efficiency, enhances safety and provides an economical solution for smart city infrastructure.
