Project definition
The current street lights are based on a system that is extremely outdated. It is possible to reduce energy consumption by large quantities by changing the entire system. This will not only be good for the environment, but it will also reduce costs over time. By creating a SMART light plan, this all is possible while increasing safety and decreasing light polution. As numerous studies have shown, different lighting conditions influence people greatly. By interpreting the results of those studies, a design will be made.
Objective
The different stakeholders have different objectives. It is the goal of this project to make a design that satisfies all stakeholders.
- Users: This are the people driving, walking, cycling, etc past the streetlights. Their first priority is safety and visibility.
- Society: The society can be diveded in two groups. First there is the people living in the area. Second is the municipality. For these stakeholders, it is important that it is cheap (in the long term). Other wishes could be the mood set by the lighting.
- Entrepreneurs: This are the people designing and making the SMART streetlights. For the companies, the most important is that they can make profit from the SMART streetlights, otherwise they will not make them.
Approach
The approach for this project is to start with literature study, to understand the influence of street lights on the objectives of the stakeholders. Other than the literature study, stakeholders can be further investigated by speaking with the municipality and with researchers of the TU/e lighting group. With the results of these studies, the design requirements can be made. With these requirements a prototype will be build in the form of software.
