INTRODUCTION
ꙩ Current street lamps lack smart characteristics, which increases both danger and
energy consumption.
ꙩ So it becomes necessary to optimize the current street lamp management because of
its high energy consumption.
ꙩ Main aim relates to safer, more convenient, more comfortable operation and better
energy conservation.

DISADVANTAGES of current street lamps.

 Long maintenance period.

 Does not include real time controls.

 High energy consumption.

 Easy stolen.
 4

FEATURES introduced to improve lamp performance.

 Reduce maintenance period.
 Unique identification to every lamp.
 Every street lamp to be controlled independently.
 Ability to adjust its brightness according to current demands.
 Decrease energy consumption.
 Autonomous alarm to notify about abnormal states of lamp.
 5

SSL mainly consists of 3 parts:

INTELLIGENT SENSING STREET LAMP.

• Brightness of street lamp can be adjusted.

• Autonomous alarm will notify about abnormal behavior.

EFFICIENT NETWORK.

• For real time communication.

• NB-IoT adopted for communication between server and
lamp.
• WiFi and 4G adopted for communication between
server and managers.

FLEXIBLE MANAGEMENT PLATFORM.

• Fog computing based server adopted.

A. INTELLIGENT SENSING STREET LAMP.

 The street lamp periodically send reports on its current and voltage values.
 Based on these values, server determines the state of street lamp.
 If I = 0 but V≠ 0 then server can conclude that lamp may be broken.

 Location sensors:
* Server can be informed whether the lamp is broken.
* Further the server can send detail location to serviceman for repairing.
* Then the serviceman can locate the broken street lamp accurately.
* Thus improves efficiency.
* And if the lamp is stolen, it can also be found.

Cont.

 Infrared sensor:

* Street lamps can distinguish the demands for brightness.

* For the street lamps in unmanned area, brightness needs to be turned down.

* For the street lamps in crowded area, brightness needs to be turned up.

* Thus safety in crowded area guaranteed.

* Energy conservation requirement is met.

 8

Cont.

 Light sensor:

* Makes the street lamp responsive to external environment.

 Street lamp can communicate with server.

 Accordingly server can send various commands.

 On receiving these commands, the lamps change their states.

 9

B. EFFICIENT NETWORK.

 The communication between server and street lamps has some limitations:
> Needs to satisfy massive communication demand.
> Reliability must be high.
> Must ensure wide coverage.
> Security must be high level.
> Network should have low power consumption.

 Therefore NB-IoT (Narrow band Internet of things) is adopted.

 10

Cont.

 The lamps periodically send the data on external environment brightness to the
server

 Based on these data, SSL can determine priority for each street lamp.

 The darker the external environment is, higher the priority will be.

 Higher the priority, the sooner the command will be sent.

 11

C. FLEXIBLE MANAGEMENT PLATFORM.

 Here a flexible management platform based on fog computing is implemented.

 Fog computing based server offers better real-time response.

 12

Cont.
• All street lamps periodically send information of their states to the server.

• The server stores received information in the database.

• Server periodically checks the database to find the abnormal states of lamps.

• The check cycle can be set by managers.

• Longer the check cycle, longer the maintenance cycle of broken street lamp and
lower the system cost.
• After checking the abnormal states, the server automatically sends information to
the managers and nearest servicemen.
 13

ABNORMAL STATES:
BROKEN • I = 0 and V ≠ 0.

OFFLINE • If no data are received from the lamp.

POWER SAVING • If both the current and voltage values less

MODE than their normal values.

• Both I=0 and V=0.

FAULT • All street lamps in that region have the
same state.
• I=0 and V=0.
CLOSE • Not all the street lamps in that region have
the same state.

PROCESS INVOLVED:
Street lamp checks its own state, location, current, voltage,
based on the data of its sensors.

Periodically sent to the server through the NB-IoT network.

Data are immediately stored in server database.

Server checks for any abnormal state.

When found, it sends the information to the manager and

nearest serviceman.

The process from falling in an abnormal state to be repaired:

ADVANTAGES:
• Improve energy efficiency.

• Increased public safety from improved lighting.

• Safer traffic due to increased visibility.

• Reduced energy consumption.

• Real time information regarding states of lamps.

 19

CONCLUSION:
• Current street lamps have lack of smart characteristics, which increases both
danger and energy consumption.

• As a solution, a smart street lamp based on fog computing developed.

• Both safety and energy conservation are very important advantages of smart
cities.
• SSL can efficiently save a large amount of energy by managing power
consumption effectively.
