ICT Driven Smart Lighting Solution “iLIGHT” for Smart Cities: A Conceptual Framework
Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF APPLIED ENGINEERING AND MANAGEMENT LETTERS (IJAEML) - Year 2021, Vol 5, Issue 2
Abstract
Purpose: Smart Cities offers enhanced quality and performance of urban services using various ICT and Digital Technologies. It is a fact that more and more people are migrating to Smart Cities for better career opportunities and to have an enjoyable and comfortablelife. With the ever-increasing population, Smart Cities always need to do better capacity management to best utilize and optimize the usage of available resources. One of such challenges faced by Smart Cities is the generation of electricity to meet the increasing demand for lighting. The objective is to have an efficient as well as an economical lighting system that can provide sufficient lighting to its infrastructure facilities, offices, Smart Buildings, Smart Parks, and Public properties. In this paper, I have proposed ICT based Smart Lighting Solution "iLIGHT", which is capable of meeting the lighting need of Smart Cities in a more efficient and economical manner. The advantages and limitations of "iLIGHT" are also discussed in detail. The analytics-based test results revealed that "iLIGHT" can reduce power consumption by almost 30%. I have also provided the summary of reviewed existing literature on the lighting solutions used by Smart Cities and the advantages and limitations of these lighting solutions. I also analysed different usage scenarios for indoor and outdoor Smart Lighting Systems in Smart Cities and their typical power consumption. Finally, I have covered information with respect to my future plans on the "iLIGHT" Lighting Solution. Design/Methodology/Approach: A systematic literature review is carried out for relevant white papers, data presented over relevant websites, available research papers and conference papers on Smart Lighting System for Smart Cities. I also interacted with SMEs and Industry professionals working on this research area. The collected research material is then properly studied and analysed to identify new facts and requirements related to Smart Lighting System. Based on the new findings and data analysis results, a new Smart Lighting Solution "iLIGHT" is proposed for Smart City Smart Lighting System. Findings/Result: Smart Lighting System for Smart City is a complex system and used not only for providing efficient lighting across the Smart City but also used to interconnect various smart devices across Smart City and to provide seamless data interactions across the connected products. The Proposed "ILIGHT" Solution for Smart Lighting System in Smart City, is safe, reliable, and less expensive in design and deployment. It can offer good energy efficient Lighting System for Smart City and if used with proper configuration settings then it can be extremely fast and economical to operate and maintain.Originality/Value: The information presented in this paper with respect to proposed "iLIGHT" Solution is original and genuine and is an outcome of interactions with SMEs, Smart City stakeholders and study and analysis of various research papers in order to understand the advantages and limitations of various SmartLighting Systems used in Smart Cities across the globe. The paper has provided new findings with respect to Smart Lighting Systems for Smart Cities, and they are completely based on own data analysis and proposed new iLIGHT Solution.Paper Type: Technology oriented Research
