Smart Street Post Enhancement for Sustainable Campuses and Cities

The urban and rural landscapes are rapidly changing and the modification of the existing ordinary street posts presents an opportunity to create smarter, more sustainable localities and campuses. The proposed enhancements in this work include the integration of smart lighting systems, harnessing renewable energy from available resources, environmental sensors for monitoring air quality and environmental conditions. Furthermore, to enhance public safety and security, this work incorporates an emergency call service box on the street post. The monitored environmental data are displayed in real-time using the digital display. The provision of device charging ports is an added advantage. This work throws light on how ordinary street posts can be enhanced using Internet of Things (IoT)technology to create more sustainable living environments and campuses.
