Patent
Wireless autonomous solar-powered outdoor lighting and energy and information management network
TL;DR: In this paper, an array of outdoor lighting operates mainly in independent mode wherein sensing, communication, and control processes take place between the various lights of the array and a control station by means of a master/coordinating node that transmits and receives signals to the control station via call phone and/or satellite.
Patent
Network for remote administration of street lighting inter alia and methods to carry out said administration
TL;DR: In this paper, a wireless network for remotely controlling at least one lamp includes a first radio transceiver associated with the at most one lamp and a second radio transceivers, and a circuit for controlling one lamp as a function of a message repeated by a second transceiver.
Patent
Multisensor intelligent street light with complete system
TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a street lighting system called iStreetLight (hereinafter ISLS) which is a new concept in urban infrastructure building which in addition to lighting has active interaction with the environment by collecting data via sensor array related to atmospheric conditions and traffic conditions.
Patent
Lighting control system
TL;DR: In this article, a method for installing a wireless lamp controller (114') in a lighting control system, the method comprising: reading, by a mobile installation device (222), configuration parameters from an element, that is readable by machine, of the wireless lamp controllers (114'); determining position data indicating a current position of the mobile installation devices; and transmitting, by the mobile device, the configuration parameters and the position data to a central server (202).
Patent
Predictive street lighting
TL;DR: Predictive street lighting employs detectors/sensors and may be controlled in advance of low-density traffic, wherein street lamps switch on before traffic arrives, having calculated the speed and direction of movement of vehicles or pedestrians, and predicting the lighting ahead as appropriate as mentioned in this paper.
