Smart Street Lighting Systems: A Revolutionary IoT Solution for Large-Scale Electrical Energy Conservation
摘要
This chapter introduces an innovative approach designed to enhance the street lighting infrastructure in city/town. This ground-breaking method combines a long-distance Internet Service Provider (ISP) sharing strategy, offering an efficient solution for the deployment of a comprehensive smart lighting network across urban and suburban regions, and potentially highways and railway tracks. A significant advantage of this approach lies in its substantially lower installation and maintenance costs compared to existing LoRaWAN-based smart street lighting systems. The smart street lights featured in this chapter offer a wide range of essential functionalities, including automated illumination, dynamic dimming, remote control, and real-time monitoring. Furthermore, the plan includes the establishment of long-distance ISP sharing wireless local area networks (WLANs) strategically covering critical streets in a city or town. These networks serve as the foundation for the wireless Internet Protocol (IP) cameras at strategic locations, enabling real-time traffic monitoring and remote surveillance. In summary, this technology not only offers a cost-effective solution but also incorporates advanced technology to elevate the town’s infrastructure and enhance safety measures, making it a noteworthy contribution to the field of smart street lighting systems and large-scale electrical energy conservation.
