Project definition

Nowadays a lot of streetlights are on well nobody is walking/driving on the street. Also, there has been a lot of research on how lights affect the behaviors of people. With this project, we want to make a part of a SMART streetlight system. During the project will investigate the preference of all the different stakeholders to create a safer place.

Objective

All the different stakeholders have different objectives.

  • Users: This are the people driving, walking, cycling, etc past the streetlights. So for their wishes, a literature research has to be done.
  • Society: This are the people living in the area where the streetlights are standing. For example, if the color of the streetlights can make sure that the area will be more save it would be a great improvement for the society.
  • 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. So when designing the SMART streetlights the right decisions in for example material have to be made

Approach

The approach for this project is to start with literature study for what the users, society, and entrepreneurs want. Also, there are different people working on the TU/e that are involved with streetlight experiment. It is possible to do some interviews with those peoples. After all the information is collected, ideas for how the SMART streetlights will work can be conceived. These ideas can be tested and the designs can be adapted to get the best possible result. Then the final product can be built as a prototype or for the final product some hardware or software can be written.
