SYSTEM AND METHOD OF COMMUNICATION AND DATA MANAGEMENT BASED ON A

PUBLIC LIGHTING NETWORK

The present invention relates to a communication and data management system, configured to be installed on a public lighting network. The present invention also relates to a method of operation of such a system.

As is known, a public lighting network is configured to illuminate urbanized contexts and areas subject to vehicle traffic and / or pedestrian transit by means of a plurality of lighting poles each carrying one or more light sources, which light sources they are configured to emit at least one light beam into the surrounding space, for example towards the surface from which each public lighting pole stands.

A traditional public lighting network generally includes:

- at least a plurality of lighting poles, installed in a determined geographical area;

- at least one electrical substation for transforming the electrical voltage from medium to low voltage, which is electrically connected, by means of a suitable distribution line, to each pole of the plurality of lighting poles and is also configured to supply it with the necessary voltage supply the operation of the light source or light sources carried by it, e

- at least one operations center, located remotely with respect to the at least one electrical substation and to the latter operatively connected to control the operation of the lighting system.

On the basis of such a traditional public lighting network, numerous communication and data management systems have now been created for the surveillance and / or control of a geographical area. For example, systems configured to detect and transmit to a remote location, images of the area surrounding one or more of the aforementioned lighting poles or to measure environmental parameters such as the level of fine dust, CO2 or pollutants possibly present in the air.

However, these communication and data management systems for the surveillance and / or control of a geographical area suffer from several drawbacks.

First of all, to be implemented, these systems require the complete replacement of the lighting poles of a pre-existing public lighting network, with so-called "intelligent" lighting poles, which entails high implementation costs as well as both environmental and aesthetic impact. , not always compatible with particular needs such as those foreseen for example in cities of art.

Secondly, these communication and data management systems for the surveillance and / or control of a geographical area derive from proprietary solutions, i.e. non-standard and non-open, in the sense that they do not always allow their simple integration with other systems of different manufacturers and this clearly determines a high degree of complexity and high costs as regards maintenance in the field, given that operators must take into account the installation and operation and / or management methods (different for each manufacturer) of the various systems installed in a certain geographical area for the execution of ordinary and extraordinary maintenance operations of the public lighting network and of the surveillance and / or control systems / equipment.

The communication and data management systems for traditional surveillance and / or control, based on the public lighting network, therefore implement solutions that are not very modular and with services traditionally addressed to specific users (for example dedicated only to video surveillance, only to environmental monitoring, etc.) which therefore require specific programming / management software and specific interfacing systems.

Therefore, there is a need to improve the state of the art in the sector of communication and data management systems based on public lighting network and the main purpose of the present invention is to provide a communication and data management system based on public lighting network , which allows, in a simple, reliable and efficient way, to manage the service information relating to the public lighting network and which, at the same time, can be used for surveillance and / or environmental control and / or for the provision of services by the manager of the public lighting network and / or by third parties.

The present invention will now be described, for illustrative but not limitative purposes, according to its preferred embodiments, with particular reference to the Figures of the attached drawings, in which:

Figure 1 shows a schematic view of a portion of a communication and data management system based on a public lighting network according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention;

Figure 2 illustrates a block diagram of the main components of a communication and data management system according to the present invention;

Figure 3 shows another schematic representation of a particular communication configuration between other components of the communication and data management system according to the invention; And

Figure 4 shows a block diagram of the method according to the invention. In the accompanying Figures, identical reference numbers will be used for similar elements.

Before entering into the merits, it should be noted that in the description and in the following figures, see in particular Figure 1, reference will be made to a public lighting network comprising, in addition to a plurality of lighting poles, a single electrical substation for their power supply and a single operations center. In any case, as it will be easily understood, the present invention can be applied in a simple and direct way also to more complex public lighting networks, for example equipped with several electrical substations, each connected to a respective operating center or to the same operating center, each electrical substation being designed to power a respective plurality of lighting poles, installed in a respective geographic area. The present invention can also be advantageously applied to public lighting networks equipped with several electrical substations, each of which is responsible for supplying a respective plurality of lighting poles installed in a respective geographical area, in which the electrical substations can be connected between them, for remote control purposes, by means of a cable, for example comprising an optical fiber, or by means of a radio communication on a specific service communication channel different from that traditionally used for communication with an operations center. In this second configuration, one of the aforementioned electrical substations is in turn connected to the operations center.

It should also be noted that in the present description and in the following claims, the term "interface group" means at least a set of physical and / or logical components that allow two or more devices to exchange information (signals) with each other.

Furthermore, it is specified that in the traditional public lighting network, for the purposes of the present invention and as will be read below, the term "primary pole" is intended to indicate the lighting pole or more lighting poles of the nearest public lighting network to the electrical substation that powers them, or in any case easier to connect to this (typically being at a distance from the electrical substation less than or equal to a few tens of meters, optionally not exceeding 60 m, even more optionally not exceeding 40 m). The term "secondary pole" instead refers to each lighting pole of the lighting network, present in the same geographical area and powered by the same electrical substation as above, which is however at a greater distance from this than a respective " primary pole ”, or which can be connected to the secondary substation in a more uncomfortable way than a“ primary pole ”.

With reference now to Figures 1 to 4, it will be noted how a communication and data management system according to the present invention is generically indicated with the reference number 1 and is in particular configured to be applied to a public lighting network comprising: at least a primary pole P1 and at least one secondary pole P2, as well as at least one electrical substation EC configured to power each lighting pole (P1, P2) of the public lighting network, by means of a suitable distribution line L.

The EC electrical substation used to power the traditional public lighting network, as is known, is configured to detect at least one parameter relating to its operation (also referred to as the pEC operating parameter). The traditional public lighting network, to which the system 1 according to the invention can be applied, also includes at least one OC operating center, located remotely with respect to the at least one EC electrical substation and the lighting poles powered by it.

The system 1 of the present invention comprises at least a first apparatus 10, each configured to be mounted on a respective primary pole P1 of the lighting network, comprising at least a first detection group 11 in turn configured to detect at least a first parameter p1, of which will be explained better in the following. Each first apparatus 10 further comprises at least a first interfacing group 12, configured to put the first apparatus 10 in communication with the outside world and to transmit at least this first parameter p1 on at least one communication network, which will also be described in greater detail hereinafter. .

The system of the present invention comprises at least a second apparatus 20, configured to be mounted on at least one secondary pole P2 and comprising at least a second detection unit 21, which is in turn configured to detect at least one second parameter p2, of which he will say better in the following. Each second apparatus 20 also comprises at least a second interfacing group 22, configured to put the second apparatus 20 in communication with the outside world and to transmit at least this second parameter p2 on at least another communication network, which will also be better described below.

Advantageously, the system 1 of the present invention comprises at least a third apparatus 30 (only one in the figures), configured to be operationally connected to the at least one electrical substation EC and comprising at least a third interfacing unit 32. The third interfacing group 32 is configured to put the electrical substation EC in communication with at least a first apparatus 10, by means of its first interfacing group 12, on such at least one communication network, as well as to transmit, on such at least one communication network. communication, at least one of its operating parameters pEC.

The system 1 of the present invention also comprises at least a fourth apparatus 40 (only one in the Figures) configured to be operationally connected to the at least one operating center OC and comprising at least a fourth interface group 42. The fourth interfacing group 42 is configured to put the operations center OC in communication with each first apparatus 10 and with each second apparatus 20, by means of the respective interfacing groups 12, 22, on at least one of the respective aforesaid communication networks.

More specifically, with reference to the at least one communication network of the first apparatus 10, the first group 12 for interfacing each first apparatus 10 is configured to put each first apparatus 10 in communication: - with the electrical substation EC, on at least one first communication network N1, by means of the third interfacing group 32 operatively connected to it,

- with at least a second apparatus 20, on at least a second communication network N2, by means of the second interfacing unit 22 thereof, and

- with the operations center OC, on at least a third communication network N3, by means of the fourth interface group 42 operatively connected to it.

Similarly, with reference to at least one other communication network of the second apparatus 20, the second group 22 interfacing each second apparatus 20 is configured to put each second apparatus 20 in communication:

- with at least a first apparatus 10, on the second communication network N2, by means of the first interface group 12 thereof, and

- with the operations center OC, on at least a fourth communication network N4, by means of the fourth interface group 42 operatively connected to it.

Clearly, the third group 32 for interfacing each third apparatus 30 is configured to put in communication the electrical substation EC operatively connected thereto with at least one first apparatus 10, on the aforementioned first communication network N1, by means of the first group 12 of interfacing of this, and the fourth group 42 for interfacing each fourth apparatus 40 is configured to put in communication the operational center OC operatively connected to it:

- with each first apparatus 10, on the aforementioned third communication network N3, by means of the first interface group 12 thereof, and

- with each second apparatus 20, on the aforementioned fourth communication network N4, by means of the second group 22 for interfacing it.

With such an architecture of the system 1 of the present invention, represented for example in Figures 1, 2 and 3, it is possible to advantageously transmit to the operating center OC, on the third communication network N3:

- at least a first parameter p1, when detected by the detection unit 11 of a first apparatus 10; and / or

- at least a second parameter p2, when detected by the detection unit 21 of a second apparatus 20 and after said second parameter p2 has been transmitted to at least a first apparatus 10, through at least a second communication network N2; and / or

- at least one operating parameter pEC, when detected by at least one electrical substation EC and after said operating parameter pEC has been transmitted to at least one first apparatus 10 through said at least one first communication network N1.

Advantageously, the first communication network N1 is a wired network comprising at least one copper cable. In this case, the first interfacing group 12 of the first apparatus 10 comprises, for example, at least one input-output port, optionally comprising at least one RJ45 connector connected to a network ethernet card and, correspondingly, the third interfacing group 32 , operatively connected to the electrical substation EC, comprises at least one corresponding input-output port, optionally comprising at least one RJ45 connector connected to a corresponding network ethernet card. Clearly, the person skilled in the art will have no difficulty in understanding how other configurations of the interfacing groups 12 and 32 are possible, as long as they allow the operational coupling between the first apparatus 10 and the electrical substation EC by means of the aforementioned copper cable.

According to a particularly advantageous aspect of the invention, the second communication network N2 is instead a wireless network, for example of the LoRaWAN type and / or a network of the WM-bus type, optionally at a frequency of about 868 MHz or at a frequency of about 169MHz or about 433MHz, in any case, at a so-called "unlicensed" frequency, so that the first interface group 12 of each first device 10 can also comprise at least one corresponding gateway module, for example LoRaWAN, and / or at least one module WM-bus receiver-transmitter optionally single-channel at the corresponding frequency indicated above (equal to about 868 MHz or about 169MHz or about 433MHz), while each second interface group 22 of each second apparatus 20 can comprise, for example, at least one receiver module - radio transmitter at the aforementioned corresponding frequency (for example 868MHz, or 169MHz or 433MHZ), operationally connected to at least one antenna, optionally integrated on the electronic board. Clearly, also in this case, the person skilled in the art will have no difficulty in understanding how other configurations of the first interfacing group 12 and of the second interfacing group 22 are possible, provided that they allow the operative coupling between the first apparatus 10 and the second apparatus 20 on a corresponding wireless communication network.

The LoRaWAN gateway module on each first apparatus 10 advantageously allows the first apparatus 10 to implement the LoRaWAN gateway functionality. In this way each second device 20, as well as any standard LoRaWAN sensors present in the area, for example located near a primary pole on which a first device 10 is mounted - therefore for example installed on a neighboring building, in a parking lot, on a 'sign nearby, etc. -, they can be put in contact, through the second communication network N2 with the first apparatus 10 of the system 1 and, for example, through the third communication network N3, with the fourth apparatus 40 operatively connected in turn to the operations center OC, for the provision of services to other operators.

As regards the WM-bus receiver-transmitter module, it allows the first apparatus 10 to implement data collection functions from corresponding WM-bus sensors present in its proximity, for example included in the second detection group 21 of each second apparatus 20 or , as in the case of the LoRaWAN gateway module, located near a primary pole on which a first device 10 is mounted - therefore installed for example on a neighboring building, a parking lot, a nearby sign, etc.

The third communication network N3 that can be used by the system 1 of the present invention is a communication network, for example radio, optionally of the 4G type, whereby each first interface group 12 of each first apparatus 10 can further comprise at least one corresponding modem module, optionally 4G, and each fourth group 42 interfacing the fourth apparatus 40 can comprise at least one corresponding transceiver device connected to at least one network server 43, optionally of the LoRaWAN type. Clearly, the person skilled in the art will have no difficulty in understanding how other types of networks could be implemented for the third communication network N3, for example a public as well as private communication network, for example also in optical fiber, which allows operative coupling between the first interfacing group 12 and the fourth interfacing group 42. Clearly, based on the type of the third communication network N3 and the corresponding technology implemented, other configurations of the first interface group 12 and of the fourth interface group 42 can also be used, provided that they allow operational coupling between the first apparatus 10 and the OC operations center on the third communication network N3.

The fourth communication network N4, usable by the system 1 of the invention, can be a radio network, for example of the NB-IoT or LTE M1 type, whereby each second group 22 for interfacing each second apparatus 20 can also comprise at least one corresponding modem, optionally NB-IoT or LTE M1, and each fourth group 42 for interfacing the fourth apparatus 40 can also comprise at least one corresponding receiver-transmitter device connected to at least one web server or http server 44. Also in this case, the person skilled in the art will have no difficulty in understanding how other types of radio network could be implemented for the fourth communication network N4, for example a public as well as private communication network, of a type suitable for allowing operational coupling between the second interfacing group 22 and fourth interfacing group 42. Clearly, based on the type of fourth communication network N4 and the corresponding radio technology implemented, other configurations of the second interfacing group 22 and of the fourth interfacing group 42 can also be used, provided that they allow operational coupling between the second apparatus 20 and the OC operations center on the fourth N4 radio communication network.

With reference to the communication networks indicated above, it should be borne in mind that they advantageously allow to disengage from a single communication technology between the various components of the system 1 of the invention, so that the possibility of effectively communicating and managing data between them increases. exchanged.

In fact, for example, each second apparatus 20 can simultaneously integrate two or more communication technologies that are completely different from each other both in terms of the supplying subject and in terms of architecture. According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, in fact, the communications at the frequency for example of 868 MHz on the second communication network N2 take place in free band and the entire infrastructure of the communication network could be under direct management of the applicant of the present application. patent, while the NB-IoT / LTE M1 communication technology implemented by the fourth communication network N4 is a nascent service that will be provided by telephone operators with proprietary networks on licensed frequencies (in Figure 1, as can be seen, the fourth communication N4, as well as the third communication network N3, are supported by an RS relay station of a telephone operator).

A further advantage due to the particular configuration of each first apparatus 10 and of each second apparatus 20 of the system 1 of the invention, which allows to transmit information (i.e. at least the first parameter p2) on a LoRaWAN type network, is the possibility of providing access to this network, if necessary or desirable, also to third parties for the implementation of specific applications such as surveillance and / or environmental monitoring.

The advantages of LoRaWAN transmission technology compared to the use of WM-bus technology are, for example, that: the LoRaWAN modulation, while remaining in the same frequency, for example of 868 MHz of communication, compared to WM-bus connections, allows Long Range connections. By way of illustration, for example, an open field comparison could be that with a WM-bus type network a signal can be transmitted at a maximum distance of a few hundred meters, while with the LoRaWAN communication technology the transmission can take place over a maximum distance of a few kilometers. This translates, in the city, into greater penetration and the ability to overcome obstacles and reduce interference by LoRaWAN technology compared to WM-bus during the transmission of information between the components of the system 1 of the invention.

Furthermore, the WM-bus communication protocol is a protocol dedicated exclusively to the metering of meters (for example, gas, water, light) while the LoRaWAN technology is based on a protocol dedicated to generic IoT areas, completely configurable and customizable based on the intended use.

In any case, based on the architecture of the system 1, it remains possible to implement and / or use devices with both WM-bus - LoRaWAN technologies for cases in which the probability of a second device is to be increased 20 to be able to communicate with the first closest apparatus 10, on a second communication network N2, for example for the transmission to it of a second detected parameter p2.

According to a further variant of the system 1 of the invention, the radio transceiver module of a second apparatus 20 can natively support, at the hardware level, LoRaWAN modulation and / or WM-bus modulation.

According to an advantageous aspect of the invention, the interfacing unit 22 of each second apparatus 20 can be a configurable system whose entire firmware / software or optionally part of it can be updated or replaced by means of a remote communication, by the operations center. OC. In fact, as can be seen in particular from Figure 2, the communication networks N3, N2 and N4 allow, obviously for the person skilled in the art, the transmission of at least a third configuration / update parameter (p3), from the operations center. OC up to each second apparatus 20, for configuring / updating its firmware or for configuring / updating each of its components.

Similarly, the first group 12 for interfacing each first apparatus 10 can be a configurable system whose entire firmware / software or optionally part of it can be updated or replaced by means of a remote communication, outgoing for example from the operating center OC. In fact, the communication network N3 allows, in an obvious way for the person skilled in the art, the transmission of at least a fourth configuration / update parameter (p4), from the OC operations center to each first device 10, for configuration / update of its firmware or for the configuration / update of each of its components.

Thus again, the third group 32 for interfacing each third apparatus 30 can be a configurable system whose entire firmware / software or optionally part of it can be updated or replaced by means of a remote communication, output for example from the operating center OC. In fact, as can be seen in particular from Figure 2, the communication networks N3 and N1 allow, obviously for the person skilled in the art, the transmission of at least a fifth configuration / update parameter (p5), from the operational center OC to to each third device 30, for the configuration / update of its firmware or for the configuration / update of each of its components.

In light of this, it is quite clear that the architecture of the system 1 of the present invention, as represented for example in Figures 1, 2 and 3, advantageously allows the OC operations center to transmit:

- at least a third configuration / update parameter p3, to a second apparatus 20, on the third communication network N3 and therefore on the second communication network N2 or directly on the fourth communication network N4; and / or

- at least a fourth configuration / update parameter p4, to a first apparatus 10, on the third communication network N3; and / or

- at least a fifth configuration / update parameter p5, to a third apparatus 30, on the third communication network N3 and therefore on the first communication network N1.

According to a particularly advantageous aspect of the invention, each first apparatus 10 is configured to be powered by a dedicated power supply line, derived directly from the electrical substation EC and separated from the traditional distribution line L of the public lighting system. Figure 1 illustrates for this purpose, purely as an example but not of limitation, an electrical branch L1 that leads directly from the electrical substation to a pit A1, positioned at the base of the corresponding primary pole P1 and in which a dedicated power supply is housed, optionally a optionally watertight industrial power supply, for powering a first apparatus 10, which power supply A1 is in turn connected by means of another branch L2 to a control panel A2 of the dedicated power supply, and by means of a further branch L3 to the 'apparatus 10.

In the system 1 of the present invention, unlike each first apparatus 10, each second apparatus 20 is configured to be powered by the electrical substation EC, by means of the traditional distribution line L, optionally in parallel with respect to or coinciding with the power supply line of the light source or light sources carried by the secondary pole P2, on which it can be mounted. In this case, each second apparatus 20 of the system 1 of the invention comprises at least one battery (not shown in the drawings), optionally of the rechargeable type, configured to guarantee the power supply of the second apparatus 20 when the distribution line L is inactive, for example example during the day, when the respective secondary lighting pole P2 is not powered or in the event of a fault in the distribution line L.

According to a variant of the present invention, the third group 32 for interfacing the third apparatus 30 can also be configured to put the respective electrical substation EC directly in communication with the operating center OC, by means of the fourth group 42 for interfacing the fourth apparatus 40 to it. in turn operationally connected, on at least one fifth communication network N5. The fifth communication network N5 is optionally a wireless network, optionally of the 4G type or a wired network, optionally a fiber optic communication network, so that on this fifth communication network N5 it is possible to transmit to the OC operations center:

- at least one first parameter p1, when detected by at least one first apparatus 10, after this at least one first parameter p1 has been transmitted to the electrical substation EC via the first communication network N1; and / or

- at least one second parameter p2, when detected by at least one second apparatus 20, after this at least one second parameter p2 has been transmitted to the electrical substation EC via the second communication network N2 and the first communication network N1; and / or

- at least one pEC operating parameter, when detected by the electrical substation EC.

Furthermore, it is quite clear that this variant of the architecture of the system 1 of the present invention advantageously allows the OC operations center to transmit:

- at least a third configuration / update parameter p3, to a second apparatus 20, on the fifth communication network N5, then on the first communication network N1 and subsequently on the second communication network N2 or directly on the fourth communication network N4; and / or

- at least a fourth configuration / update parameter p4, to a first apparatus 10, on the fifth communication network N5 and therefore on the first communication network N1; and / or

- at least a fifth configuration / update parameter p5, to a third device 30, directly on the fifth communication network N5.

As regards the fourth group 42 interfacing the fourth apparatus 40, it comprises (see Figure 3), as already mentioned in part: - at least one first network server 43, optionally of the LoRaWAN type, configured to communicate with each first group 12 for interfacing each first apparatus 10, on the third communication network N3;

- at least a second web server or http server 44, configured to communicate with each second interface group 22 of each second apparatus 20, on the fourth communication network N4; and

- at least one application server 46, connected to said at least one first network server 43 and to said at least one second web server or http server 44, optionally through at least one other MQTT (MQ Telemetry Transport) server 45, configured to receive and process information (i.e. at least the parameter p1 and / or p2 and / or pEC) forwarded by these servers and to transmit the configuration / update parameters (p3, p4 and p5) intended for the first device 10, the second device 20 and the third device 30 .

The fourth interfacing group 42 is also connected to at least one database server 47 included in the operational center OC, which is connected to said at least one application server 46.

According to a particularly advantageous aspect of the invention, and as represented in Figure 4, the information (i.e. at least the parameter p1 and / or p2 and / or pEC) passes through an MQTT server before arriving at the application server 46.

According to a variant of the present invention, the fourth interface group 42 could comprise the second web server or http server 44 integrated on the application server 46 and in this way only the data flow (i.e. (at least the parameter p1 and / or p2 and / o pEC) coming from the first network server 43 would benefit from MQTT services. In this scenario, an architectural separation would be obtained between the third and fourth communication network, allowing greater compartmentalization between the communications of the first 10 and second 20 devices with the OC operations center Naturally, the possibility of using the MQTT functionalities for communications arriving through the web server or http server 46 would be lost.

According to a particularly advantageous aspect of the invention, each first detection group 11 can comprise at least one sensor, for example at least one or more of:

- at least one presence sensor, optionally of the type configured to detect microwaves;

- at least one sensor of the illumination produced by the respective primary lighting pole, optionally at least one luxmeter;

- at least one presence sensor, optionally of the type configured to detect microwaves;

- at least one sensor of the illumination produced by the respective secondary lighting pole, optionally at least one luxmeter;

- at least one motion sensor, optionally a 6-axis gyroscope;

- at least one environmental temperature sensor;

- at least one environmental humidity sensor;
