PKU-STRAW-L: A Simulative Platform Evaluate the Power-Saving Rate of the Intelligent Street Lamp System

A Low-Carbon Economy (LCE) has been a heated economy topic throughout the world. The street lamp system is a large energy consumption system although it is indispensable part of the basic facilities of a city. So it is important for many scientific researchers to provide many solutions to save energy efficiently. In this paper, we design a simulation platform named PKU-STRAW-L that evaluates the energy consumption based on famous Java simulator JiST/STRAW. We also design a test bed system that intelligently controls the street lamp based on Peking University STRAW. The intelligent lamp control system is based on the VANET´s DSRC communication and focuses on some lamp-lighting strategies when vehicle drives on cross road, straight road and pre-lighting. By using this platform we can evaluate the power-saving rate of this intelligent street lamp system.
