Smart Lighting - Boodskap

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
  • Smart lighting using IoT technology revolutionizes urban lighting management by enabling automated and efficient control of street lights based on real-time conditions. By leveraging IoT-enabled devices and sensors, cities can achieve significant energy savings, reduce operational costs, and enhance public safety. Boodskap's IoT Platform as a Service (PaaS) offers comprehensive solutions for smart lighting, integrating various sensors and devices to deliver actionable insights and predictive analytics.
  • How Boodskap is Used
  • Boodskap’s IoT platform enables city planners and utility managers to collect, analyze, and act on data from various IoT sensors. The platform’s robust data analytics and visualization tools provide real-time monitoring and control of street lighting, adjusting brightness levels based on factors such as time of day, weather conditions, and pedestrian movement. This helps cities optimize energy usage, reduce costs, and improve public safety.
  • Devices and Sensors Used
    Devices:
  • Smart Street Lights:Equipped with dimming and sensing capabilities to adjust lighting based on real-time data.
  • Light Control Systems: Centralized systems that manage and control street lighting across the city.
  • Gateway Devices:Facilitate communication between street lights and the central control system.
  • Sensors:
  • Light Sensors: Measure ambient light levels to adjust street light brightness.
  • Motion Sensors:Detect pedestrian and vehicle movement to increase lighting in high-activity areas
  • Energy Meters: Measure the energy consumption of street lights to optimize usage.
  • Temperature Sensors: Monitor weather conditions that can affect lighting needs.
  • IoT Protocols Used
  • LoRaWAN:Provides long-range connectivity for street lights spread across large urban areas.
  • Zigbee: Ideal for creating a mesh network of street lights within the city.
  • MQTT (Message Queuing Telemetry Transport): Lightweight messaging protocol used for real-time data transmission between street lights and the IoT platform.
  • NB-IoT: Ensures reliable and efficient communication for low-power devices like smart street lights.
  • Implementation Example
  • A city using Boodskap’s IoT platform installs smart street lights equipped with light and motion sensors. These street lights communicate with a central light control system through gateway devices using Zigbee and LoRaWAN protocols. The system adjusts street light brightness based on ambient light levels and pedestrian/vehicle movement detected by motion sensors. Temperature sensors monitor weather conditions to further refine lighting adjustments. All collected data is transmitted to the Boodskap platform via MQTT, where it is analyzed to provide insights into energy usage, lighting patterns, and maintenance needs. City managers can view these insights on a dashboard, enabling them to make informed decisions on lighting schedules and maintenance. This leads to improved energy efficiency, reduced operational costs, and enhanced public safety.
  • Benefits
