Abstract
A light fixture for a public transportation train system powers an antenna used for train signaling. The antenna can provide to the train a location marker associated with the location of the antenna. The antenna can provide to the train other data communicated to the light fixture through the light fixture communication system.
Claims13
A light fixture assembly for use in a public transportation train system;
- the light fixture comprising:
- a light;
- a power supply for the light;
- a battery backup system adapted to power the light during a power failure;
- the battery backup system having a self-testing and reporting system that includes a communications device that transmits information related to the self-testing and reporting system to a remote location;
- a sensor port;
- a sensor that generates data in response to a condition;
- the sensor being connected to and powered from the sensor port;
- the data from the sensor being transmitted to a remote location by the communications device of the self-testing and reporting system;
- and
- a signaling antenna powered by the power supply;
- the signaling antenna communicating with the trains of the public transportation system.
