ISUAV-Woman Security: Intelligent Woman Security Using Streetlight and Auto Run Unmanned Aerial Vehicle UsinglOT- Based Technology
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
Our Invention "ISUAV-Woman Security" is related to Intelligent Women Security using Street Light and Auto Run Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Using IoT based Technology.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Lighting systems have been in use for years. Typically, lighting systems include LEDs or other types of light source technologies, such as fluorescent, halogen, high intensity discharge lamps, or sodium vapor. However, conventional lighting systems lack advanced control over light sources to direct and rotate light panels to vary the beam angles of the light panels horizontally and vertically, to vary intensity of light panels, and to vary color of lighting panels within a light fixture. Conventional lighting also lacks an ability to control light panels in selected light fixtures or in selected groups of an array of light fixtures.
Additionally, conventional lighting systems lack a plurality of light panels with servo motors, stepper motors, other motors, solenoids, gears, and/or similar mechanisms to direct light in varying forward and peripheral directions to shine light forward from a light fixture, through the peripheral sides, or to the back of a light fixture. Similarly, such conventional lighting systems fail to include light panel rotation of between 180 degrees and 360 degrees to allow light panels to shine light forward, through the peripheral sides, or towards the back of a light fixture.
Existing products do not allow a user to save different light intensities, light panel rotation, direction of illumination, monochromatic color for illumination, multicolor light panel illumination configurations, and/or duration of illumination from a light source in memory that can later be scrolled through, recalled and utilized. Additionally, existing products do not allow a user to rotate light panels to a desired position for illumination, settings relating to such being savable in memory that can later be scrolled through, recalled, and utilized.
Additionally, existing products cannot allow changing color emanating from one or more multicolor light panels within a light fixture, program shining a desired color frequency where and when desired, saving different colors in memory along with a duration for displaying each color, using a timing circuit for when the colors may change, how long each color may be displayed, and to have the ability to step through saved settings and cycles to allow a light fixture or light panel to shine a desired color for a saved time interval. Existing products also lack stepping through to subsequent saved colors and profile for a time interval until all saved colors and time intervals have been completed with an optional repeat cycle that can continue or terminate on a number of repeat cycles or time and date.
Conventional lighting systems have been in use for years. Typically, lighting systems are designed for various applications such as street lights, parking lot lights, building and warehouse lighting, outside lot lighting, retail lot lighting, grocery lots, car dealer lots, gas or electric recharge stations, dock lighting, security or surveillance, pathway lighting making use of various types of lighting sources. A problem with conventional lighting systems is that most lighting fixtures are not sufficiently energy efficient due to obsolete light sources.
Existing products lack the intelligent control ability to direct light as might be desired through advanced logic and circuitry making use of stepper motors, servo motors, solenoids, programmable controls, mechanisms and assemblies. Additionally, existing products lack the ability to intelligently direct the position of lighting panels through default, programmed and/or through user-defined settings. Moreover, existing products lack the ability to intelligently fine tune lighting direction and intensity through programmed and user-defined settings.
While existing devices may be suitable for the particular purpose to which they address, they are not as suitable for providing stepper motor assisted advanced intelligent lighting systems where light sources are integrated in electromechanically pivotal-rotatable light panels in a fixture to provide light with a wide field of coverage with advanced default, and user defined, selected, and/or programmed directional and intensity settings.
Further, existing devices do not provide sufficiently advanced control over light sources and light fixtures to direct and rotate light panels within one or more light fixtures, vary beam angles of the light panels horizontally and vertically, vary the intensity of light panels, and vary the color of lighting panels with various advanced controllers to create different lighting systems including wired and wireless lighting systems and their respective controls, including computer controlled lighting systems and lighting systems controlled from mobile phones, remotes, or other digital devices for a wide variety of applications. The systems can use a variety of light source technologies, such as light emitting diode (LED) technology.
Aerial surveillance and tracking includes the use of unmanned air vehicles. Currently, human operators remotely control UAVs. The operators must steer both the UAV and the camera/surveillance payload in order to maintain tracking and positive identification of a moving target. Positive identification may require no interruptions or obstructions in visual observation of the target.
This practice is labor intensive, and therefore expensive. Usually two operators track a single target, enabling one operator to control flight and the other operator to control camera pointing, focus, zoom, etc. And in military applications involving high value targets, such as known terrorists, usually two UAVs are dedicated to the target, thus requiring four operators. Remotely controlling UAVs with human operators is also prone to loss of positive identification due to bad vehicle position or bad camera angle. Current methods also do not adequately support real time collection of target attribute data. In addition, the operators must pay special attention to no fly zones, restricted airspace and obstructions, further increasing the difficulty of maintaining an uninterrupted track.
In order to improve UAV navigation, a UAV may be configured with data representing at least one flight corridor and at least one flight path. A first flight plan may be calculated to avoid the flight corridor and the flight path by navigating around, over or under the locations of these items. During the course of the UAV's operation of the first flight plan, the UAV may detect, for example via a camera, an obstacle within the UAV's flight plan or in the vicinity of the UAV's flight plan. Consequently, a second flight plan may be calculated to avoid the obstacle as well as flight corridors and flight paths.
The UAV may also use acoustic input to detect nearby unknown aircraft and respond by calculating a new flight plan to avoid the detected unknown aircraft. Additionally, the UAV may receive transmissions from a friendly UAV or manned vehicle that indicate the location and/or vector of an obstacle. The UAV may respond by calculating a new flight plan to avoid the obstacle. These UAV navigation mechanisms may be performed autonomously by the UAV or in conjunction with input from one or more ground control stations.
In general, the UAV may utilize multiple input modes (e.g., manual, optical, acoustic, thermal, and/or electronic means) to make flight plan calculations and adjustments. This multi-modal navigation logic may be pre-configured in the UAV, or may be dynamically uploaded to the UAV.
These and other aspects and advantages will become apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art by reading the following detailed description, with reference where appropriate to the accompanying drawings. Further, it should be understood that the foregoing overview is merely exemplary and is not intended to limit the scope of the invention as claimed.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The stepper assisted intelligent lighting systems, according to an embodiment of the present invention substantially departs from the conventional concepts and designs of the existing technologies, and in so doing provides an apparatus primarily developed for providing stepper motor assisted advanced intelligent lighting systems. The light sources can be integrated in one or more electromechanically pivotal-rotatable light panels in a fixture to provide light with a wide field of coverage with advanced default, user defined, selected, and/or programmed directional and intensity settings.
The invention relates generally to a servo/stepper assisted lighting technology system. The servo/stepper assisted lighting technology system may be referred to throughout this disclosure in the shorthand "S.A.L.T." without limitation. More specifically the present invention relates to S.A.L.T. systems for providing advanced control over light sources and light fixtures to direct and rotate one or more light panels, having one or more light sources per panel, within one or more light fixtures. The S.A.L.T. system may vary beam angles of the light panels horizontally and vertically, intensity of a plurality of light panels, and color of one or more lighting panels configured with various advanced controllers, options, parts and accessories of the system to create various lighting systems and lighting product lines. These systems may include wired and wireless controlled lighting systems and their respective controls, including lighting systems controlled from computers, mobile phones, remotes, or other digital devices. The systems can use a variety of light source technologies, such as light emitting diode (LED).
The invention also relates generally to intelligent lighting systems and more specifically a stepper assisted advanced intelligent lighting system. The present invention may include a stepper motor to control light sources integrated in electromechanically pivotal rotatable light panels to provide light with a narrow, intermediate, or wide field of coverage. The system may use advanced default, and user defined, selected, and/or programmed directional and intensity settings.
In view of the foregoing disadvantages inherent in the known types of lighting systems of the existing technologies, the present invention provides a new servo/stepper assisted lighting technology system construction for providing advanced control over light sources and light fixtures to direct and rotate a plurality of light panels within one or more light fixtures. The system may vary beam angles of the light panels horizontally and vertically, intensity of a plurality of light panels, and color of the lighting panels via advanced controllers. The system may operate wired and wirelessly. The lighting systems may be controlled from computers, mobile phones, remotes, or other digital devices. The systems can use a variety of light source technologies, such as, light emitting diode (LED) technology.
The general purpose of the present invention, which will be described subsequently in greater detail, is to provide a new servo/stepper assisted lighting technology system with advantages over existing designs and many novel features that result in new servo/stepper assisted lighting technology systems which is not anticipated, rendered obvious, suggested, or even implied by any of existing technologies lighting systems, either alone or in any combination thereof.
The invention generally may include LEDs or other light source technologies of various lumen values mountable on movable light panels to produce stepper or servo controlled light fixture models. The fixture models may include servo or stepper motors, ball-screw devices, worm or other gears, solenoids, other motors, mechanisms, and/or other motion devices to affect movement of light panels. The invention may include infrared light sources, such as for surveillance and security, camera(s), lenses/filters of various colors and transparencies, secondary optics including bullet resistant lens/filter models, and/or reflectors.
The embodiments of the present system and methods for autonomous tracking and surveillance have several features, no single one of which is solely responsible for their desirable attributes. Without limiting the scope of the present embodiments as expressed by the claims that follow, their more prominent features now will be discussed briefly. After considering this discussion, and particularly after reading the section entitled "Detailed Description", one will understand how the features of the present embodiments provide advantages, which include a reduction in the number of human operators needed to operate the system, which in turn translates into cost savings, a reduction in the likelihood that tracked targets will be lost, a decrease in the risk that UAVs will be lost due to crashes/collisions, and a decrease in the risk that UAVs will enter no fly zones.
One aspect of the present system and methods for autonomous tracking and surveillance includes the realization that current systems for tracking and surveillance are heavily dependent upon human operators. This dependence upon humans is costly, and subject to losses of target/track data due to bad vehicle position or bad camera angle. Human error is frequently to blame for these losses. Accordingly, a system and methods for automating surveillance, targeting and tracking functions would save costs and reduce errors.
One aspect of the includes a method of protecting an asset using at least one unmanned vehicle. The method includes establishing a plurality of boundaries around the asset. The boundaries define edges of zones. The method further includes observing a target in a first one of the zones. The method further includes deploying the unmanned vehicle to a location in a vicinity of the asset and tasking the vehicle to perform a first defensive measure as long as the target remains in the first zone. If the target crosses a boundary from the first zone into a second one of the zones, where the second zone is more proximate to the asset than the first zone, the method further includes tasking the vehicle to perform a second defensive measure.
A method of providing communication between a first individual or group and a second individual or group, where the first individual or group and the second individual or group cannot communicate directly with one another. The method includes deploying an unmanned vehicle to a location in a vicinity of both the first individual or group and the second individual or group, such that the first individual or group is capable of communicating directly with the vehicle and the second individual or group is capable of communicating directly with the vehicle, but the first individual or group and the second individual or group cannot communicate directly with one another.
The method further includes relaying communications between the first individual or group and the second individual or group through the vehicle. The method further includes the vehicle autonomously tracking the first individual or group to maintain a desired distance between the vehicle and the first individual or group. Autonomously tracking includes generating a travel path for the vehicle based on predicted future states of the vehicle and the first individual or group.
A method of securing an area prior to a vehicle entering the area in order to protect the vehicle and persons within the vehicle or within the area. The method includes controlling an unmanned vehicle from the vehicle. The method further includes commanding the unmanned vehicle to enter the area prior to the vehicle's arrival. The method further includes commanding the unmanned vehicle to surveil the area and locate targets, if any targets are present in the area. If targets are present in the area, the method further includes commanding the unmanned vehicle to determine whether the targets pose a threat to the vehicle. If the targets pose a threat to the vehicle, the method further includes commanding the unmanned vehicle to neutralize the threat.
A UAV is a remotely piloted or self-piloted aircraft that can carry cameras, sensors, communications equipment, or other payloads, is capable of controlled, sustained, level flight, and is usually powered by an engine. A self-piloted UAV may fly autonomously based on pre-programmed flight plans.
UAVs are becoming increasingly used for various missions where manned flight vehicles are not appropriate or not feasible. These missions may include military situations, such as surveillance, reconnaissance, target acquisition, data acquisition, communications relay, decoy, harassment, or supply flights. UAVs are also used for a growing number of civilian missions where a human observer would be at risk, such as firefighting, natural disaster reconnaissance, police observation of civil disturbances or crime scenes, and scientific research. An example of the latter would be observation of weather formations or of a volcano.
As miniaturization technology has improved, it is now possible to manufacture very small UAVs (sometimes referred to as micro-aerial vehicles, or MAVs). For examples of UAV and MAV design and operation, see U.S. patent application serial nos. 11/752497,11/753017,and12/187172,all of which are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety herein.
A UAV can be designed to use a ducted fan for propulsion, and may fly like a helicopter, using a propeller that draws in air through a duct to provide lift. The UAV propeller is preferably enclosed in the duct and is generally driven by a gasoline engine. The UAV may be controlled using micro-electrical mechanical systems (MEMS) electronic sensor technology.
Traditional aircraft may utilize a dihedral wing design, in which the wings exhibit an upward angle from lengthwise axis of the aircraft when the wings are viewed from the front or rear of this axis. A ducted fan UAV may lack a dihedral wing design and, therefore, it may be challenging to determine which direction a ducted fan UAV is flying. Consequently, it can be difficult for both manned and unmanned vehicles to avoid collisions with such a UAV. As UAVs are more widely deployed, the airspace will become more crowded. Thus, there is an increasing need to improve UAV collision avoidance systems.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
FIG. 1: an illustrative basic model of the Servo/Stepper Assisted Lighting Technology (S.A.L.T.) system includes an array of lights that allow control of intensity and direction. The basic model may have a configuration of multiple LED light panels in a single fixture arranged in a linear array. The features in this model include: 1) a wide field of coverage, 2) movable light panels for variable coverage, 3) factory assigned defaults for programming intensity and motion control, and 4) various mounting capabilities and lighting configurations.
The narrow/wide field may be created by using LED panels that have narrow/wide angle coverage and having three panels per fixture in linear formation. Light sources can vary in total angular coverage, with the electronics being modified to rotate panels as described throughout this disclosure. The default intensity is manually controlled by an ergonomic interface. The intensity and position of light panels may be pre-programmed to a number of specifications. The panel default positions can be pre-programmed for any number (e.g., seven) motion modes, including reset forward positioning. A plurality of panels may be provided depending upon the application. The mechanical and electrical properties described herein can be designed for any number of panels in a fixture. The fixtures may be designed to allow various mounting capabilities.
Panels may by selected by the user via a user interface, such as a keypad, touch screen, or other ergonomic user interface, which may be used with the controller. A keypad may be discussed as the user interface throughout this disclosure in the interest of clearly disclosing the invention and without limitation. The keypad may include a button for each panel that allows selecting that panel for intensity adjustment. The keypad will be discussed in detail below. Once the keypad input is received, a decoder may send the state to the enable pin of the selected panels. The state diagram for possible selections of the "mode" for this illustrative configuration is given in the table 2200 of FIG. 7. The signals from the mode selection decoder may be input to the full selector circuit 100 shown in FIG. 1, which may be performed via the DE multiplexer 110.
An illustrative adjustability of the LED intensity in the S.A.L.T. system is provided in block diagram 200 of FIG. 2. Light levels may be continuously adjustable from off to high intensity levels. Intensities can be controlled for each panel or a combination of panels separately. In one example, only selected panels may change intensity, while others remain at their former intensity. The intensity of the selected panels may be adjusted by a sliding finger control to about continuously adjust the intensity from off to the highest level. When the lights are turned off, the intensity may remain at the last setting for when they are turned on the next time. Enabling a "Reset Brightness" setting can return the intensity to a default mode (mid-intensity). There is also a manual mode.
The movement system will now be discussed. The motion system may include one or more motors, such as servo or stepper motors to affect movement of the light panels. The motion system may additionally include ball-screw devices, worm or other gears, solenoids, other motors, and/or other motion devices to cause movement of lighting panels.
Once the selection code is input to the controller, the appropriate rotational circuit is activated. This can be done with the AND gates in FIG. 3. Each timing circuit may be connected to the Enable input to the stepper driver for the panels. The specific design for an illustrative embodiment of the timing circuit is explained below. In one example, an Allegro A4983 Quad Driver may be chosen as the stepper driver, although equivalent micro-controllers can be used. In the A4983 driver, each of four Drivers may be connected to the select portion of the Rotational Control Circuit (AND gate outputs) that go to Enable that Driver. The timing output of the Rotational Control Circuit may be attached to the Step input of the Driver.
A block diagram 500 of the stepper driver controller is shown in FIG. 5. The details of each circuit are explained with the embodiments below. The A4983 Quad Stepper Driver may control the stepper motors for rotating panels in the SALT design. Quoted logic levels for this example are from 3-5 V and may be controlled by a controller circuit or computer. The controller logic inputs to the driver include, without limitation:
Step: Step input is pulled HIGH with a 2 k resistor and is rising edge triggered. Minimum 1 ps pulse time and 50% duty cycle, maintaining the frequency to 500 kHz. The step input circuits of the present embodiment may include, without limitation, timing for the rotation rate of the panels and a step enable signal to turn the rotation mode on. The enable input may come from a momentary "push and hold" switch connected to a +5 V source, which goes into a 2-input AND gate with the second input connected to the output of a 555 timer configured as an astable multivibrator. The multivibrator elements may deliver a duty cycle=(ON time)/(TOTAL time)=%, with a frequency of 25 Hz.
The frequency may be set to match a rotational rate of 1.8 degrees per step for a total time of 2 seconds for a full 90-degree rotation. This may be achieved by setting the two input resistors for the 555 timer equal to about 19 k and the input capacitor to 1.0 tf. Thus, when the enable button is pressed, the chosen panel may rotate until the user lifts the button, whereby the motion stops.
As an example using a preferred embodiment, assume that the left and right panels in the sixth fixture of a nine fixture array should be rotated in the -x direction (CCW) by 30 degrees. The nine fixtures typically require four bits to specify. The left and right panel selection code is 101 and the -30-degree rotation is coded by CCW direction (1) and angle (30 degrees is seventeen 1.8 degree increments) having a code 010000. The overall resulting code may be 0101-101-1-010000. Here, the labeling of position for fixtures in an array starts with 0000. Note that alternative angular divisions are possible. Once the particular panel is chosen, the control logic is enabled to rotate the panels in a particular direction at a chosen angle. The controller circuit design is discussed in detail above.
Note that most functions presented using electronic control circuits can be implemented in software code using any of a variety of languages. The circuits presented in this section to operate the motion driver can be modified or replaced by software codes that operate the driver as described. The language and code design may depend upon which driver is used in a given application.
The user interface will now be discussed, which may be included with a controller. There are various types of user interface controllers and displays, for example: one keypad controller and display that controls an individual light fixture, a master keypad controller and display that controls a plurality of light fixtures or separate groups of light fixtures from a central control room location, and a computer interface with software that allows light unit fixtures to be connected to a computer system for control and to receive alert operations.
The keypad controllers and fixture control circuits provide complete control of the lighting system by including a numeric portion, a directional control unit, a brightness control interface, software control, and sufficient displays to provide information about the system status Skilled artisans will appreciate keypads and controller interfaces after having the benefit of this disclosure.
At least one or a plurality of wireless sound transmitters can send sound wirelessly to one addressable selected light socket intercom system or to many wireless sound receiving addressable selected light socket intercom light screw sockets that are configured to receive sound. It is further contemplated that each transmitter and sound receiving circuit can be configured to work across a selectable variety of frequencies to avoid external frequency interference and to operate using either analog or digital communication to allow one to send secure communication packets to communicate in a secure fashion. The wireless screw-socket intercom light system communication variation is illustrated by diagram 2300 of FIG.7.
Further optional versions of the wireless screw-socket intercom communication light system include a configuration to create a screw-socket intercom communication multicolor light system (shown by block diagram 2500 of FIG.9) with multicolor light source capabilities and control circuits with specialized controllers. These systems would have an option to screw in a multicolor capable light source that can be selectively turned on through wireless or through wired controllers remotely where a user through the use of a remote controller can select a targeted multicolor light source in a particular targeted and addressable screw-socket intercom light system, change the color as desired, and/or alternatively select a group of alternating colors to be displayed through the attached multicolor light source.
The colors may be chosen by the user operating the controller, are saved in memory in the controller. The control signal outputs may make the multicolor light source change to the desired color or colors are received by the targeted screw-socket intercom light system to change the color of the light source as desired by a color control receiving logic circuit built into the screw-socket intercom light system. The time each color is displayed can be set or be programmed by the controller, and the sequence of each color being displayed by the multicolor light source can be selected.
The colors can be set to alternate from one color to the next saved in memory in a repeat cycle by the controller to repeatedly alternate from one color to another in a continuous fashion until the color alternating color-changing transmission mode is canceled by a cancel button on the controller. Virtually any color or group of colors can also be chosen to flash or turn on at a programmed, date schedule, or at a selectable rate of speed as well through control buttons on the remote wired or wireless controller. Brightness can be adjusted by the remote wireless or wired controller or by a user varying a control switch or knob physically located or built into the screw-socket intercom multicolor light system.
An intercom system built into the luminaire can also have a voice mail box where through a transmitter, a person can leave a message at a particular addressable luminaire and a person at the luminaire can later securely listen to the message that was sent through head phones or through the luminaire's speaker(s), perfect for leaving a message to a worker at their office, say if you stepped in and wanted to leave them a note at their luminaire, or if you want to leave a message to one or more of your family members. It is also understood that multiple messages can be saved and deleted from the memory banks, there is also an option to make the message secure, or to allow public access.
It is contemplated that at least one or a plurality of wireless sound transmitters can send sound wirelessly to one or to many wireless sound-receiving intercom wall plug-in units that are configured to receive sound. It is further contemplated that each transmitter and sound receiving circuit can be configured to work across a selectable variety of frequencies to avoid external frequency interference and to operate using either analog or digital communication to allow one to send secure communication packets to communicate in a secure fashion. The wireless wall plug-in intercom communication variation is illustrated in diagram 2400 of FIG. 8.
Further, a variation of the three-panel servo/stepper assisted lighting technology systems can also include the option to control multicolor light sources placed on the light panels that can be selectively turned on through wireless or through wired controllers remotely where a user through the use of a remote controller can select a targeted multicolor light source in a particular three-panel servo/stepper assisted lighting technology system, change the color as desired, and/or alternatively select a group of alternating colors to be displayed by the three-panel servo/stepper assisted lighting technology system.
The colors may be chosen by the user operating the controller, are saved in memory in the controller, and the control signal outputs to make the multicolor light source change to the desired color or colors are received by the three-panel servo/stepper assisted lighting technology system to change the color of the light source as desired by a color control receiving logic circuit built into the three-panel servo/stepper assisted lighting technology system.
The time each color is displayed can be set or be programmed by the controller, and the sequence of each color being displayed by the three-panel servo/stepper assisted lighting technology system having multicolor light sources can also be selected. The colors can be set to alternate from one color to the next saved in memory in a repeat cycle by the controller to repeatedly alternate from one color to another in a continuous fashion until the color alternating color-changing transmission mode is canceled by a cancel button on the controller. Virtually any color or group of colors can also be chosen to flash at a programmed or at a selectable rate of speed as well through control buttons on the remote wired or wireless controller. Brightness can be adjusted by the remote wireless or wired controller.
These multicolor features allow companies to use the three-panel servo/stepper assisted lighting technology system to enforce and to better control office, business, and/or industrial productivity where companies can assign meanings to particular colors, color sequences, to flashing colors, and duration of colors to have employees or managers respond to color codes for particular business processes, conditions, or for alerting employees that an important email has been sent to them, or for other targeted events and conditions that might merit attention as to the corporate rules that might be set up in relation to color codes that the screw-socket intercom multicolor light system can provide.
The invention, the lighting system may be used to intelligently control light emitted by street lights in an emergency situation. Referring to diagram 4900 of FIG. 10, an emergency vehicle 4902 may be traveling down a road. The light ahead of the emergency vehicle 4910 may change to an emergency color, indicating that caution or emergency action is required. The lights behind the emergency vehicle 4920 may change to a cautionary or safe color, indicating that emergency action is not required.
Additional applications for the color changing features may include remote control lighting GPS/ID location triggering for first responders; two-way communications through password enabled remote devices given to emergency agencies; police vehicle communication through 2-way lighting intercom systems; lighting units including GPS/ID identification to assist first responders; public-city communication through 2-way public address intercom systems; city protection grids; traffic congestion routing technology; and environmental and hazard detection in emergency. The color change may occur via change in spectrum, oscillation, flash, and change in brightness.
Yellow and red may indicate caution and warning, respectively. White or other colors may indicate safe or clear status. Skilled artisans will appreciate other colors may be used. Other colors may be used as well as selecting multicolor RGB light sources, such as multicolor LEDs or multicolor RGB LEDs, where one light source can provide multiple colors and where each light source can change to a particular color desired.
The system may be used to direct buses, taxis, limousines, parking lot vehicles, and other vehicles. The system may provide train arrival light situational color change. Here, the system may change train boarding areas to yellow when boarding begins or flashing red when boarding is about to end. The system may also affect street lights, parking lot light systems changing to amber if there are weather conditions of fog, rain, sleet, snow, or other weather patterns to increase visibility.
The invention, the enclosure may be adapted to perform street lighting functions. Referring to the views 5000 of FIG.11, the lighting system may be included in an enclosure 5002. The system may include a wireless communication antenna 5010, sensors dome 5020, sensors 5030, 5050, and light panels 5030. The light sources 5030 maybe rotatable as discussed in detail above.
View 5000 shows one version of the proposed lighting system with four (4) rotating light panels 5030 of an eyeball-type configuration, a sensor dome 5020 being positioned on one end of the luminaire, with antennae 5010 for data communications, sensor reporting, status and control operations, with microphones, speaker, and sensors being placed in the fixture at various locations including on the rotating eyeballs, within the sensor dome, and optionally at the microphone 5050 or speaker 5040 location. It is further contemplated that the sensor dome 5020 can wrap itself around the entire periphery of the light fixture enclosure 5002, or be added in segments to different sections of the light fixture to provide a sensor or an array of sensors on every side of the lighting fixture enclosure wherever desired.
