GPS-BASED STREETLIGHT WIRELESS COMMAND AND CONTROL SYSTEM

摘要

A method and apparatus for controlling a streetlight is provided. GPS data is required from a GPS coupled to a process of the streetlight. A geographic location of the streetlight is determined from the received GPS data. A real local time is determined from the GPS data and a sunrise and sunset time associated with the geographic location can then be determined. The on and off state of one or more LED lighting modules of the streetlight can then be controlled upon the determined sunrise and sunset times.
