As an important part of a smart city, smart street lights are one of the most effective ways to cut into the road, and the development space is huge. As the main body of urban lighting, urban road lighting has achieved rapid growth along with the rapid development of urban construction in China.
First of all, street lights and their systems have a natural information perception and feedback platform in smart cities. Urban street lights have a complete and independent power supply system. Because of its unbalanced use characteristics, the margin is sufficient, so that the power demand of communication and information facilities can be met without laying cables.
Second, the network-like distribution is one of the biggest features of the streetlight layout. As the density of the road network increases, the characteristics of the network distribution will be more obvious and reasonable, and the dead angle will gradually disappear. The networked distribution of communication and information facilities without dead ends is the basic condition for realizing full coverage of smart city information. Among all municipal facilities, only the streetlight system can achieve a network distribution without dead ends.
Again, the height and lumen capacity of the street light unit is sufficient to carry enough, increasingly small, and small communication and information equipment under the integrated design requirements.
The street lamp structure has three basic components: a pole, a seat and an arm. In a customized street lamp, there is usually a structurally unique body. The large capacity of the lamp holder and the main body is self-evident, that is, the lamp post and the lamp arm can also be loaded with communication and information equipment by a reasonable design without affecting the beauty of the appearance. It is these three natural advantages that make smart street lights the most ideal IoT platform for smart city development.
