An Energy Efficient Lighting and Mobile Controlled Scoreboard in Smart Badminton Court

Electricity is one of the most common demands of people around the world, and though it can be produced, it does not satisfy the exact demand. Especially in sports courts, they provide much light in the field, but the lights will turn on in the absence of the players in the field, which leads to the waste of electricity. To overcome this problem, electricity during unused hours need to be saved and it is very hard for humans to monitor and control. To control the electricity, a prototype is designed that will turn ON and OFF the lights based on the presence of humans and dim the lights for a particular time period when humans are present in the field but no actions are sensed using the PIR sensor. By using this prototype, the electricity can be controlled, and the wastage of electricity is reduced. One of the major difficulties on the sports court is the scoreboard system. Scoreboards play a very important role in the sports field. At present, the scoreboards in the sports court are operated manually, so by replacing the conventional analogue type scoreboard with a digital type scoreboard, the manual work is eliminated. An IOT-based scoreboard using the Raspberry Pi is designed by which the scoreboard can be controlled with the help of a mobile phone. The primary aim of the proposed system is to ensure that the score can be controlled from a computer or mobile phone with the help of the application developed for it and that the score is displayed on digital screens.
