The proposed solution which is needed to be fitted into the poles in public area will alert the people nearby and also will alert the nearby electricity department in a short condition. The sensing node comprises of a computing unit to execute all the desired tasks as specified using the onboard algorithms, a current sensing unit to detect the presence of current in the pole, a GSM Module to alert the electricity department about the fault and its location, and a buzzer to alert the peoples nearby. Herein a smart device to identify and warn people from electrically shorted poles at public places comprises electric poles, computing unit to execute all the desired tasks as specified using the onboard algorithms, a current sensing unit to detect the presence of current in the pole, a GSM Module to alert the electricity department about the fault and its location, and a buzzer to alert the peoples nearby. Whenever the system detects the presence of current exceeding a set threshold in its pole, it activates the buzzer to alert the people nearby from coming nearby. The system use its integrated GSM module to send a POST request into the custom IoT server through secured APIs. Once the data is logged into the server, there is a smartphone application for the electricity department authority which parse the data from the server and starts an alert notification which can then be used by them to get there and fix it faster.
