Intelligent Lighting Control System for Street and Landscape Lights Based on ZigBee and GPRS

Abstract

To address the challenges of high energy consumption, costly maintenance, and inefficient management in traditional urban lighting systems, this study presents the development of the TDFY City Lighting Management System. This intelligent lighting control system is based on a hybrid communication architecture combining ZigBee and GPRS technologies. The system integrates loop and individual lamp control to optimize energy usage and reduce operational costs. By leveraging ZigBee’s wireless mesh network for decentralized lighting unit management and GPRS for remote access and monitoring, the system ensures reliable communication, remote fault detection, and efficient maintenance planning. A key feature of the system is its adaptive dimming functionality, which automatically adjusts lighting based on motion sensor input, thereby enhancing both energy efficiency and lighting performance. Implemented in real-world scenarios such as the Taiyuan Botanical Garden and Taiyuan University of Technology, the system achieved up to 40% energy savings. These results demonstrate the system’s scalability, reliability, and potential to serve as a core component in smart city infrastructure, promoting sustainable, cost-effective urban lighting solutions through advanced energy management.&nbsp
