, Description:FIELD OF THE INVENTION:
The present invention relates to public street light management system. The present invention more particularly relates to an intelligent street lighting system for detecting Lamp failures remotely from the control center which facilitates maintenance scheduling.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION:
Intelligent street lighting refers to public street lighting that adapts to movement by pedestrians, cyclists and cars. Intelligent street lighting, also referred to as adaptive street lighting, dims when no activity is detected, but brightens when movement is detected. This type of lighting is different from traditional, stationary illumination, or dimmable street lighting that dims at pre-determined times.
Intelligent street lamps are a key element in the development of safe, clean and smart cities. Continental’s Intelligent Street Lamp simplifies the management of lighting, monitoring and analyzing environment, traffic and parking information in smart cities.
Due to the increase of environmental concerns, lighting control systems play an important role in the reduction of energy consumption of the lighting without impeding comfort goals. Energy related emissions are responsible for approximately 80% of air emissions and central to the most serious global environmental impacts and hazards, including climate change, acid deposition, smog and particulates. Lighting is often the largest electrical load in offices, but the cost of lighting energy consumption is low when compared to the personnel costs. Thus its energy saving potential is often neglected. According to study global grid based electricity consumption for lighting was about 2650 TW in 2005, which was an equivalent of 19% of total global electricity consumption. The share of electricity for lighting is around 20-30% in hospitals, 15% in factories, 10-15% in schools and 10% in residential buildings.
So there is a need for an intelligent lighting control and energy management system for energy saving, especially in public lighting management. It realizes remote on/off and dimming of lights, which can save energy by 40%, save lights maintenance costs by 50%, and prolong lamp life by 25%. The system application in streetlight control for each lamp will reduce in streetlight electricity and maintenance cost, and increase availability of street light. The present invention enables remote light control as well as adaptive street lighting depending on surrounding traffic participants. It provides advanced features such as remote maintenance, over-the-air updates and performance monitoring, features that allow smart cities and operators to save energy and reduce cost by working more efficiently. The Intelligent Street Lamp also can provide data for future smart cities. The present invention can increase safety by detecting critical situations and transferring this information through communication to connected vehicles. By identifying free parking space, the solution can reduce congestion and improve overall traffic flow and can detect multiple pollution levels like noise and air quality, to improve the quality of life in tomorrow’s cities.

The main object of the present invention is to provide a street light management system for reducing the cost of energy and maintenance to support remote control monitoring.
Another object of the present invention is to allow users to plan the lamp infrastructure, optimize maintenance and monitor the entire lighting system.
