Cost Effective Automated Street Lighting Control

Smart Street Lighting & Automated fault detection using power consumption data

Street lighting systems are one of the key infrastructures of a city and are important for safe driving and safety of the pedestrians. Also, owing to the large number of lamps, street lighting accounts to high energy consumption and thus a significant cost to the utilities. Smart street lighting solutions enable control, monitoring and automatic fault detection, transforming these systems into ...

Street Lighting Disturbs Commuting Bats

Anthropogenic disturbance is a major cause of worldwide declines in biodiversity. Understanding the implications of this disturbance for species and populations is crucial for conservation biologists wishing to mitigate negative effects. Anthropogenic light pollution is an increasing global problem, affecting ecological interactions across a range of taxa and impacting negatively upon critical ...

A Cost-Effective Lighting Processor for 3D Graphics Application

PE] Mndur This paper presents a cost effective VLSI architecture to calculate RGB color in 3D graphics lighting stage. Phong illumination model [ 11 is exploited for lighting. In addition, the proposed architecture also supports point light sources, spot light:ources, and infinite light sources suggested in OpenGL@ . These various light models are widely used in entertainment and game applicati...

Discussion of "Electrocution by Street Lighting".

Performance evaluation of Tree and Mesh ZigBee Network Topologies used in Street Lighting Control Systems

The design of a high performance street lighting control system is an important issue. This paper focuses on an assessment of the performance of the ZigBee mesh and tree network topologies which, can be implemented in different street lighting control network configurations. The paper also presents the performance evaluation of three configurations in order to select the best candidate that can...
