Implementation of IoT-Based Low-Delay Smart Streetlight Monitoring System

Smart streetlight is an outdoor infrastructure that uses technologies, such as sensors and actuators, to provide intelligent outdoor lighting and replace the power-consuming traditional streetlights. Although the current smart streetlight systems are employing these technologies for the maintenance, they simply gather data wirelessly on a periodical basis and still have drawbacks to provide real-time monitoring operation. To address these issues, the implementation of an IoT-based low-delay smart streetlight monitoring system is proposed in this article. In addition, a data filtering algorithm is also proposed in this article where redundant data are ignored to avoid overloading and excessive data storage consumption. Implementation results show that the proposed monitoring system and data filtering algorithm are able to provide real-time monitoring of smart streetlights with minimal time execution up to 0.11 ms and greatly reduce data storage usage up to 88.57%, respectively.
