Chihuahua
Street lighting is a simple way to prevent accidents and increase safety. Studies have shown that darkness results in a large number of crashes and fatalities, especially those involving pedestrians; pedestrian fatalities are 3 to 6.75 times more likely to happen in the darkness than in daylight. Street lighting has been found to reduce pedestrian crashes by approximately 50%.
Nowadays, there is a deficiency at Chihuahua's public lightning system. Failure control has not been automated which means that street lights stop working for long periods of time. Our project is focused on solving this problem presenting an improved monitoring system reducing time response and the number of failures by implementing a control system.
OBJECTIVE
Our objective is the development of a smart monitoring system improving the efficiency on the maintaining labor of the street lighting. In general it can be used for any monitoring purpose on another systems. A security system for a residence and an irrigation system are some examples where this principle can be used.
ADDED VALUE
Our project will use a wireless communication which is going to be useful when it comes to make an easy installation of the devices and a virtual interface which will offer a friendly environment to the operator.
