IoT for Streetlighting—Requirements for Modelling of Management Services—Part I

Energy conservation is the effort to reduce the overconsumption of energy by the usage of less energy services. Energy conservation could be user oriented or industry sector oriented. One of these sectors is the streetlighting— major energy consumer in the town—forming nearly 30% of each country’s consumption. Intelligent designed management of streetlighting not only reduces the energy consumption of the town, but also increases the public safety and the wellbeing. The article focuses the management of IoT for streetlighting in smart city. This is the first stage of project “Service management for IoT in streetlighting”. While the basic management principles are efficiency and fairness, the requirements of all actors must be defined. On the base of requirements, the authors synthesize the management functions with selected granularity. The chosen methodology is unified modelling language (UML): use case diagrams. The models are intended to business developers, university professors, and students.
