An intelligent system for street lighting monitoring and control

摘要

One of the major challenges at the moment is the improvement of the present street lighting system. These systems are considered outdated due the lack of communication capabilities, not allowing system feedback. This work aims to add communication capabilities to the systems already in use, through the integration of an IEEE 802.15.4 compatible transceiver to the photoelectric relay used to turn the HPS lamps on/off. This change will turn each device into a node of a large wireless network across the city.
