Design of Smart LED Streetlight System for Smart City With Web-Based Management System

Smart LED streetlight system is one of the enabling technologies for a smart city, giving low-cost, low power outdoor lighting also with benefits for vehicle users as well as pedestrians. Integration of sensors and ZigBee-based wireless sensor modules can furnish an optimal platform for an innovative LED streetlight application. Psychological studies suggest that a different level of color temperature can significantly affect human circadian rhythm. For this reason, correlated color temperature (CCT)-based illumination gives a significant lighting performance both in terms of energy efficiency and in overcoming traffic accidents in low visibility areas. Previous works usually assume only specific platform and did not consider CCT-based illumination toward smart LED streetlight system. In this paper, we consider the importance of CCT-based illumination and propose a novel integration of public weather data awareness, ZigBee-based wireless communication, and dynamic web-based management system for the state-of-art of smart LED streetlight system applicable to smart city. In particular, we design a central web server that can receive weather information and real-time sensor data from each LED streetlights and provides a dynamic and flexible web interface for authorized users. Furthermore, real-time implementation of the proposed system shows perfect transmission-reception parameters, such as throughput and signal strength among the different LED streetlights, which fulfills the wireless communication range and signal quality between each LED streetlights.
