INTELLIGENT LED LIGHTS FOR SMART CITY

DESCRIPTION OF THE ENTREPRENEURIAL CASE

The entrepreneurial case is focused on the implementation of special sensory system which will be used as the communication mean for transferring the information about the climate/energy/mobility change in a defined application scenario.

The system will inform the users about the actual state (e.g. energy consumption of building; air pollution caused by traffic in the streets, etc.) and provide them with the option to improve it (to reduce energy consumption by skipping the afternoon coffee...).

This topic follows the national legal document “Strategy for Smart Specialisation of the Slovak Republic (RIS3)” for the years 2014 - 2022, where following topics were declared as the perspective areas of specialisation in Slovak economy:

• new technologies allowing the data transmission and processing,
• smart technologies (buildings; transportation...),
• energy efficiency and emissions reduction.

Questions that need answers

Technical aspect

• Student teams will need to identify and provide more details about the sensors, which are going to be used in their application scenario (for example the current transformers for measuring the power consumption of particular sockets/rooms in building [1]; CO2, N2O and other sensors for measuring the air pollution [2]...),

• Student teams will need to find and identify the way of how to transfer measured data to some collection point (local server; global cloud...) where other data- processing will be done [3],

• Student teams will need to implement the user GUI, through which all system setting can be set [4],

• Student teams will need to choose the propriate LED lights according to the requirements of the application scenario [5], [6], [7],

• Students should come up with ability to adapt and cope with new technologies,

• Students should have some technical and programming knowledge,

• Students should have good presentation and analytical skills.
