Sensor-Actuator Smart lighting System: System Organizational Concept and Challenges

Abstract

the emergence of LED public lighting systems have encouraged offering wider range of public light utilization for services other than ambient lighting.Existing literature has highlighted engagement with issues relevant to energy management, visual health, environmental pollution, public security, and other.They have also looked into the communication standards and protocols from the management and maintenance perspective.Formulating a sensor-actuator network around the public lighting and integrating that with the Cloud computing should facilitate powerful environment for smart systems.This could offer ability to establish wide range of services.It should open up doors for researchers to evolve with intelligent concepts for smart cities.The system should interact with public space needs while looking into the energy saving.The paper provides inside into the concept of possible sensoractuator system for public space lighting system.The scope of the system operation and potential services has opened the door for suggesting an organization for public spaces data management and information handling.The Autonomic & heterogeneous system involves multiple levels of learning and optimization.The nature of the various services imposes the different level of criticality and promotes the delay tolerance approach in data management over the network organization.While at this stage the paper offer limited quantitative assessment to the approach, available indicators suggest that widening the scope of public space lighting to provide other publically needed services should offers better interaction with the public spaces.It should also make a more effective utilization to the investment made on the existing infra-structure.
