Intelligent and multipurpose smart pole

Abstract

Electric poles have been same from past 10 years. No advancement of technology was observed, except the transition from Sodium lamps to LED. While due to its availability and locational advantages, it could provide many fruitful solutions to many current problems we face. Yet the current generation street poles require high maintenance as well as are sometimes unable to perform the sole objective they were meant to. The proposed system aims to develops and upgrade the approach towards the smart pole and integrates into a complete system with multiple functionality and modularity. A better efficiency, better lighting and better interface and interaction are the sole objective of this newly proposed system. It will also address problem of stray animals camping around the poles, which are rarely addressed in yet significantly contribute to street problems we face. The proposed system proposes an autodetection and even effective way of reporting and resolving of issues. If we are talking about Smart city, every element of it has to be made smart.
