摘要:
A street lighting fixture and street lamp used in street lighting containing an accelerometer that is used to detect and characterize acceleration events on a street lighting fixture. The accelerometer readings may be combined with GPS technology to determine a relocation of the street lighting fixture.

An apparatus, method, and system, the apparatus including a housing; a light source, disposed in the housing, including at least one source of illumination; a radio frequency (RF) transmitter located on or in the housing; and at least one directional radiating element at least partially enclosed by the housing and coupled to RF transmitter, the at least one directional radiating element directing a RF signal transmitted by the RF transmitter in a predetermined direction away from the housing.
摘要:
A smart street lighting system and method employs a plurality of street lights having a luminaire, a luminaire associate and a support pole. A communications module is contained within the luminaire associates and a power line is contained within the support poles. The power line is coupled to the communications module, the luminaire associate and the luminaire, and a steerable millimeter wave radar operatively coupled to the communications module. The communications module operates in a radio frequency network in a frequency range of 57-64 GHz. The steerable millimeter wave radar provides a signal reflected from a target that may be received by one of the luminaire associates within the system. A powerline communications system interfaces with the radio frequency network to provide communications between the communications modules in the street lights and the PLC system.
