Abstract
The technology described in this document is embodied in a sensor platform that includes an enclosure for housing one or more sensors, the enclosure configured to be deployed between a streetlight and a streetlight controller that manages operations of the streetlight. The sensor platform also includes an electrical receptacle for receiving the streetlight controller in a substantially secure configuration. The sensor platform also includes an electrical connector for connecting the enclosure to the streetlight. The sensor platform also includes at least one pass-through connector disposed within the enclosure to provide an electrical connection between the electrical connector and the electrical receptacle.
Claims30
A configurable sensor platform comprising:
- an enclosure configured to be deployed between a streetlight and a streetlight controller that manages operations of the streetlight;
- a sensor module comprising a plurality of sensor receptacles configured to receive at least a portion of various combinations of sensors;
- a plurality of sensors disposed in the enclosure, wherein individual sensors included in the plurality of sensors are selectable in accordance with a target functionality of the configurable sensor platform, the plurality of sensors being one of the various combinations of sensors;
- one or more processing devices disposed in the enclosure, the one or more processing devices configured to receive data from at least one of the plurality of sensors;
- an electrical receptacle for receiving the streetlight controller in a substantially secure configuration;
- an electrical connector for connecting the enclosure to the streetlight;
- and
- at least one pass-through connector disposed within the enclosure to provide an electrical connection between the electrical connector and the electrical receptacle.
An apparatus comprising:
- a streetlight controller that manages operations of a streetlight;
- and
- a configurable sensor platform comprising:
