This invention comprises a panel or system of panels. Each panel comprises a top layer, which is comprised of tempered glass that is highly transparent to allow for maximum light wave transmission. These solar light waves are captured by the photovoltaic cell which comprises the second layer of the panel where this solar energy is converted into usable electrical energy. Vibrations experienced by the photopiezoelectric panel due to foot and lightweight vehicle traffic are absorbed by the PZT sheet layer, which is the third layer of the panel where they are converted into usable electrical energy. The fourth and final layer of the panel consists of the connector plate which serves as the hub and interconnection for gathering the generated electrical energies and transmitting them into the modular grid network to be consumed by various load devices, such as streetlights and other power-dependent city infrastructure.

An elongated lighting module having an asymmetric illumination source formed from at least two rows of light emitting diodes (LEDs) that extend along the long axis of the module and are independently controllable. The lighting modules are powered via a wiring harness that extends down a support pole to a power converter stack having LED drivers to control the modules. The power supply for lighting module includes a power enclosure having individual light emitting drivers for powering the rows of light emitting diodes that can adjust the power level to compensate for the loss of power from another of the light emitting drivers. The power supply may also include a backup that can be switched over to power the rows of light emitting diodes in the event of a failure.

The lighting management system includes: a judgement unit configured to judge whether or not a lighting state around a vehicle based on a first lighting apparatus and a second lighting apparatus meets a first reference for a light amount and a second reference for at least one of a lighting range, a lighting color, and a flashing state; a first control unit configured to control the light amount of at least one of the first lighting apparatus and the second lighting apparatus so that the lighting state is brought to meet the first reference; and a second control unit configured to control at least one of the lighting range, the lighting color, and the flashing state of at least one of the first lighting apparatus and the second lighting apparatus so that the lighting state is brought to meet the second reference.

Method for controlling the light distribution of a traffic route luminaire (1) in a network of luminaires, which is preferably also organized as a mesh network. The luminaire has a luminaire head having a settable light module and a controller, the light distribution of the luminaire being variable. The luminaire communicates luminaire data to at least one server, the luminaire data being luminaire-specific and including the installation location of the luminaire. The method comprises the steps of: —automatically allocating a light distribution to the luminaire (1) in accordance with the communicated luminaire data; —automatically setting the light module on the basis of the allocated light distribution; and determining, by said at least one server, a light distribution class of the traffic route luminaire on the basis of a traffic route topology (2,3,4,5,6).

A ruggedized, high efficiency, diffuse luminaire with a shaped lens diffuser that is composed of a semi-soft, flexible material that helps withstand damaging impacts and protects the internal electrical components. The lens diffuser may enclose one or more internal mirrors or employ an innovative Fresnel-like lens that projects light omni-directionally and that wraps around the inside of the lens for more efficient distribution of illumination and the elimination of up and down loss through re-projecting vertical losses onto the horizontal plane. The lens diffuser may incorporate a UV filtration compound molded directly into the materials composing the lens rather than applied or painted onto the surface or surfaces of the lens. The lens diffuser may incorporate two additional innovations that better enable the reduction of glare through varying the thickness of the lens diffuser, based on its relative proximity to the bulb(s) or lamp(s), and/or applying a patterning of reflective, semi-reflective or non-reflective material to the inside of the lens diffuser relative to the proximity to the illumination source to reflect away a portion of the light and thereby attain an even distribution of light across the surface of the lens without having to ensure that the lens surface is located equidistant or nearly equidistant from the lamp or lamps within the lens.

A lighting system including one or more light assemblies, each light assembly having a light-producing subassembly with one or more light sources for emitting light upon energization thereof, one or more sensors for sensing a preselected event, and a control subassembly, to control energization of the light source upon the sensor(s) sensing the preselected event. The light assembly also includes an internal communications subassembly, for effecting communications between the sensor and the control subassembly. The lighting system includes a command center, for providing commands to the control subassembly via the internal communications subassembly, and an external communications subassembly, for communicating the commands to the internal communications subassembly.

The present invention discloses an advanced process of dealing with emergency situations through an intelligent methodology. The proposed invention can be used by all people to get help and support in a very short time. The Mission Critical Neighborhood Safety and Security System is enabled by artificial intelligence, autonomous robots, mission critical telecom network, and sensors. This system aims to provide neighborhood safety and security service to residents by using autonomous robots that are deployed in each neighborhood. These robots work closely with the mission critical module mounted on light poles and detect anomalies like car accidents, kidnapping, fire, smoke, thefts, gunshots, street fights, etc. The mission critical device mounted on the light pole captures this information and sends this information along with notification to public safety agencies (police, paramedics, firefighters). The public safety agents can then communicate with the victims onsite as well as residents through these robots and thus safeguard neighborhoods. In addition to this, the mission critical device mounted on the light pole is also equipped with acoustic sensors, thermal sensors, high-definition cameras, and air quality monitoring sensors. This information is also relayed to the residents and the public safety agencies. In order to ensure higher reliability, this system uses a mission critical public safety grade telecom network as the primary source of Internet and a WiFi mesh system as a backup source of Internet. This system is powered by electricity available through the light pole as well as solar modules mounted on each of the light poles.

Described herein is a method for marking luminaires, particularly traffic route luminaires, in a luminaire network, the network being controllable via a server. Each luminaire is provided, in its operational state, with a controller (2) for controlling its operation and a mark that is visually recognizable from the outside the luminaire. The mark is formed by an information storage medium (4), in particular, and can be used to identify the luminaire. The mark is linked to the controller (2) or to the luminaire to be controlled by the controller before the mark is added to the luminaire.
