ABSTRACT: In order to solve the problem of waste of power and human resources in the
traditional street lamp control system, this paper designs a smart street lamp centralized control
system based on STM32 and LoRa technology. The centralized control system consists of a
centralized control device and multiple single lamp control devices. The STM32F103 is the
MCU of the centralized control device. The system uses the characteristics of low
communication cost and long transmission distance of LoRa technology to realize the
communication between the centralized control device and the single lamp control device. The
centralized control device uses the Modbus RTU protocol to communicate with the sensor
module, and adjusts according to environmental factors. The brightness of the street lamp
realizes the "on-demand lighting" of the street lamp, and an adaptive rate algorithm is proposed
to optimize the communication of the LoRa network and improve the working efficiency of the
system. This centralized control system combines embedded and wireless communication
technology and has advantages in cost, reliability, energy saving and intelligent control. It can
be applied to street lamp lighting control in various environments. It has a high degree of
intelligence and has a strong market potential.

1.Introduction
With the continuous development of social economy, the efficient use and sustainable development of
energy has become an issue of increasing concern.[1] With the advancement of smart city construction,
the combination of intelligence and energy saving has become a research focus. The lighting of street
lamps is an important aspect of urban infrastructure and urban image construction, but the management
and monitoring methods of street lamps in most cities in China are relatively backward.[2] Most cities
still use manual control or set fixed time to control the state of street lamps. In terms of daily street lamp
management, due to the lack of street lamp management and control platforms and remote monitoring
functions, street lamps can only be maintained and managed by means of manual inspections.[3] This
relatively simple, low-efficiency, and resource-wasting street lamp lighting management method has
been unable to meet the needs of intelligent lighting management and the requirements of energy saving
and emission reduction.
In order to overcome the shortcomings of traditional street lamp control, Jinshan cheng[4] et al.
proposed a street lamp system control communication method that combines ZigBee and GPRS, through
ZigBee to issue online commands and strategies to realize local street lamp network management. At

the same time, GPRS is used as a long-distance wireless communication method to realize wireless
communication between a remote terminal and a centralized controller. This method proposes a solution
for the intelligent control of street lamps, and facilitates the management of urban street lamp lighting
systems. However, because the cost of ZigBee communication is relatively expensive, especially when
the number of street lamps is huge, the capital investment is large, and because the road environment is
complex, the anti-interference ability of ZigBee communication is poor, so its communication quality
is difficult to guarantee. Lecces[5] et al. designed a street lamp control system with ambient lighting as a
reference factor. Compared with the traditional street lamp control system, it makes the street lamp
system easier to manage and has a certain degree of intelligence. However, the system is extremely
susceptible to interference from factors such as automobile lighting, tree occlusion, air particles, etc.,
and is not suitable for complex and diversified road environments.
This article comprehensively uses the Internet of Things and other technical means to research and
design a smart street lamp centralized control system based on STM32 and LoRa. STM32 is used as the
control host and combined with various environmental monitoring modules to achieve a fully
controllable "on-demand lighting" operation mode, while centralized. The control device communicates
with the control platform through a computer network to realize remote control and management of
street lights. LoRa is an unlicensed spectrum, and it will not cause excessive economic burden when the
street lamp communication data continues to increase. This centralized control system can improve the
management level of urban intelligent street lighting system, reduce management, operation and
maintenance costs, and avoid the waste of lighting energy, save resources, and promote related lighting
without reducing urban lighting design standards and affecting lighting equipment. The functional
transformation and management innovation of the department create favorable conditions for urban
reform and development.

module, LED display and power supply module, The STM32 control host is built with STM32 series
ARM microcontrollers as the core supplemented by LCD display screens and peripheral circuits. The
Modbus RTU communication protocol is used between the control host and each sensor module to
collect the information of each monitoring module in turn. According to the collected environmental
data, the control strategy algorithm is used to calculate and output the command to adjust the brightness
of the street lamp, so as to achieve reasonable results by referring to the environmental data. "Lighting

of the real environment. The control host is connected with the LoRa communication module for
wireless communication with the single-lamp control device to realize remote control of the single-lamp

control host is connected to the network switch through the network module to access the computer
network, sends display information to the LED display screen connected to the network switch, and
communicates remotely with the remote Web management platform through the computer network.

Cortex-M3 is a low-power processor, originally designed to meet the requirements of fast interrupt
response embedded applications, so its interrupt latency is excellent in similar products. At the same
time, it adopts SWD/JTAG debugging mode, which reduces the system overhead of debugging.[6] At
the same time, the centralized controller in this control system adopts the μC/OS-III operating system,[7]
which is convenient for the management of system resources, shortens the development cycle of the
system, and makes the system more reliable and stable. In short, in addition to rich peripherals for people
to use, this controller also has many advantages such as strong performance, higher code density, bit-
band operation, nestable terminals, low cost, and low power consumption. Its overall performance can
fully meet the requirements of centralized street lamp controllers in any environment.

3.2.Communication module
Commonly used communication methods for street lamp control systems in the market mainly include
power carrier, ZigBee, GPRS, LoRa, NB-IoT and so on.[8] Considering that LoRa communication
technology has the following four characteristics: ①The transmission distance is long, and its effective
transmission distance can reach 20KM in theory. ②LoRa is an authorization-free spectrum, and the
communication cost has advantages over other wireless communication technologies. ③Low power
consumption, further reducing the resource consumption of the entire control system. ④ There are many
nodes in the network, and the network mode is more flexible. Therefore, the local communication
method of this system adopts LoRa wireless communication technology.
The LoRa communication module in this system uses the RS232/485-LORA of AMSAMOTION,
which supports RS485/RS232 serial communication and adopts half-duplex transmission mode. The
transmission distance in the actual environment can reach 7km, in an unobstructed open environment
Up to 10km, if a signal amplifier is added, the communication distance can be increased by another 2km.
Its communication frequency range is 137-525MHZ, with a high sensitivity of -148dBm and a power
amplifier of +20dBm. This LoRa module not only has the characteristics of small size, high sensitivity,
low power consumption and other common modules, but also has the following characteristics: ①Adopt
advanced modulation technology and have the characteristics of long-distance anti-interference.
②Multiple wireless power and multiple serial port baud rates can make communication more flexible.
③Data can be encrypted during communication to ensure the security of data transmission. ④ It has
two communication methods, point-to-point and point-to-many, to meet the control requirements of the
system. Figure 4 shows the working model of the LoRa module in this system.

-40℃~80℃, the humidity measurement range is 0~100%RH, and the working voltage range is: 10~30
DC. The sensor adopts RS485 data transmission and is composed of an inductive dry and wet element
and a high-performance CMOS microprocessor connection. It has the advantages of ultra-fast response,
high accuracy, strong anti-interference, safety and reliability.
②The light monitoring module adopts GHHB-002-485, which can directly output the numbers
through the 16batAD converter, omitting the complicated calculation process. By setting the threshold,
when the ambient lighting around the street lamp changes, it will be converted to output high and low
levels. The circuit diagram is shown in Figure 5 below. This type of sensor has the characteristics of low
power consumption, high precision, high sensitivity, and high stability, which meets the requirements
of centralized control systems.

③The particle monitoring module adopts GHHB-008-485, which can obtain the value of
PM2.5/PM10 in the environment where the equipment is located. The laser scattering principle is
adopted to ensure that the detectable range is 0-999μg/m3. GHHB-008-485 has the following
characteristics: ①Long life, can work continuously for 16000h under normal temperature and pressure.

④The vehicle flow monitoring module adopts K-LC6 and adopts a narrow beam angle K-band with
VCO radar sensor. The detectable distance for vehicles can usually be greater than 62 meters, and its
characteristics of stability and low power consumption can meet the needs of system functions.
⑤The GPS positioning module adopts ATGM332D-5N. Figure 6 below is the functional diagram
of this module. ATGM332D-5N based on Zhongke Micro's fourth-generation low-power GNSS SOC
single chip AT6558 supports single-system positioning of BDS/GPS/GLONASS satellite navigation
systems, as well as any combination of multi-system joint positioning receiver modules, and built-in
antenna detection The circuit realizes the antenna short-circuit protection function. The external antenna
carried by this module adopts an environmentally-friendly ABS shell, which can achieve waterproof,
flame-retardant and high temperature resistance, and adapt to extreme environments. At the same time,
a 4mm ceramic substrate is used internally, and the surface is plated with silver, which can effectively
resist oxidation and increase the service life of the module. The chip uses a two-stage amplifying and
filtering circuit, which can achieve rapid positioning while ensuring the strength of the signal and the
stability of the transmission. The outer layer of the chip adopts tinplate shielding cover, which makes

3.4.Single lamp controller

The single lamp controller uses CY-485-dim. The single lamp controller is directly connected to the
LED driver, and is connected to the LoRa communication module through the RS485 interface to
wirelessly receive and process the control commands sent by the concentrator, and can feedback the
control results or current status to the concentrator to realize the monitoring and control of the street
lights. Each single lamp controller has a fixed physical address (UID), which is convenient for
addressing operation in the lamp network. The main functions realized are: timing switch, brightness
adjustment, current and voltage measurement, power factor calculation and fault alarm, etc. The single-
lamp controller uses a dedicated power calculation technology, so the measurement of electrical
parameters such as voltage, current and power can be accurate to 1%. Figure 7 below shows the wiring

3.5.Power module and PC terminal

The power supply module is mainly responsible for providing power support for each module. In order
to meet the voltage requirements of different modules, the power supply module can output 3v, 5V, 12V
and 220V voltage, which can meet the power supply requirements of the control host module, sensor
module, communication module and so on. Figure 8 is the physical diagram of the power module.

Figure 8: Physical Picture of Power Module

The PC terminal can view the data sent by the centralized controller on the Web platform through
the host computer, so that it can remotely monitor the working status of the street lights, and can also
observe the relevant data of the road environment, fault alarms, etc. in real time. The PC terminal is
convenient for the staff to find the faults of the street lights in time and accurately, avoiding the waste
of resources and lag caused by manpower inspections. The staff can also adjust the specific control
strategy of the street light through the PC according to the actual needs, or directly send a command to
the single light controller to change the specific working state of the street light.

4.System implementation

4.1.The functional design of the system

This system uses the Modbus bus to transmit the temperature and humidity, light intensity, latitude and
longitude and other data collected by each sensor module to the centralized controller. The centralized
controller calculates an appropriate brightness value based on the received information and the preset
control strategy coefficient. The centralized control converts the brightness coefficient into a specific
single-lamp control command, and sends the specific command through the LoRa communication
module. When the single-lamp controller receives a control command, it will actively output a 0-10v
dimming voltage to control the working state of the street lamp. Each control host will be equipped with
a complete environmental monitoring device, and each centralized controller can manage no more than
100 single-lamp controllers at the same time. At the same time, the centralized controller is connected
to the computer network through the network switch, so that the detected environmental data and the
specific log files generated by the equipment can be uploaded to the system Web management platform.
Similarly, the staff can also remotely view the operating parameters of the street lights and the status of
the reverse control street lights on the Web platform, so as to find faulty street lights in time, and to
adjust the status of the street lights in time according to the actual environment. Figure 9 is a flowchart
of the main program of the centralized control system.

4.2.Data collection and transmission

This system is connected to each other through Modbus bus and STM32 serial port 3 to realize the
communication between each monitoring module and the main control system. The centralized
controller will sequentially and mutually exclusive send detection commands to each module. After the
sensor module receives the command from the centralized controller, it will send back data according
to the command. For example, for a particulate matter monitoring sensor, the specific format of the
Modbus RTU communication protocol adopted is as follows: the initial structure is not less than 4 bytes,
the address code is 1 byte, the function code is 1 byte, the data area is N bytes, and the error check is
16-bit CRC code, the end structure is not less than 4 bytes. Address code: the address of the transmitter,
which is unique in the communication network (factory default 0x01). Function code: The command
function prompt sent by the host, function code 0x03 (read memory data). Data area: The data area is
the specific communication data area (16bits data high byte first).
After the centralized control receives the response frame, it first determines whether the received
data format is correct. If it is wrong, the response frame will be lost. If it is correct, the value in the
response frame will be intercepted and converted. Therefore, the centralized controller can communicate
with the sensor module to obtain the environmental parameters collected by the sensor module.

4.3.System control strategy

The specific state of the street lights in this system is determined by the single-lamp controller, and the
single-lamp controller is determined by the control commands issued by the centralized controller. The
remote terminal can also select the specific control strategy algorithm of the centralized controller
according to actual needs. The design of this centralized control system has built-in traditional street
lamp control methods: interval lighting control method, time control method, light control method and
manual control method, and integrated control method is also built-in. The comprehensive control
method is different from the traditional single control method. This method integrates a variety of factors
that affect the brightness of the street lamp, and comprehensively calculates the final suitable street lamp
brightness. On the one hand, it can meet the needs of citizens for lighting, and on the other hand, it can
also ensure save resources to the greatest extent. Figure 10 below is the flow chart of the integrated
control algorithm.

Under the integrated control strategy, the centralized controller first collects GPS module data,
converts the received latitude and longitude into specific sunrise and sunset times, and uses them as the
basic conditions for street lamp control to avoid prematurely lighting or delayed lighting caused by fixed
switching lights. At the same time, the threshold of light and the threshold of particles are set, so that
the street lamp can work in time when encountering extreme weather. Secondly, when the street lamp
is in working condition, the centralized controller will adjust the brightness level of the street lamp in
time to ensure the reasonableness of the lighting brightness when the light intensity, traffic flow and
particle concentration change. The centralized controller also uploads the system's operation log and the
working status of street lights to the cloud every day, and analyzes the working status of the street lights
in the cloud, and continuously optimizes the coefficients of the algorithm to enhance the intelligence of
the street light control algorithm.

4.4.LoRa-based adaptive rate algorithm

Although LoRa has a strong anti-interference advantage over other wireless communication methods,
due to the diversity and complexity of the road environment and weather conditions, the LoRa wireless
signal is also susceptible to interference during data transmission. Therefore, if only a single rate and
signal strength are used for information data transmission, there is a high probability that the
transmission requirements of each communication node cannot be met.[9] But when the strength of the
transmission signal is blindly strengthened, the rate will be reduced, resulting in a waste of resources.
Conversely, although signal weakening will increase the transmission rate, the data transmission may
not be stable enough, resulting in a higher packet loss rate. In order to measure the performance of the
communication system, this article introduces a commonly used parameter index, throughput.
Throughput refers to the number of requests processed by the system in a unit time, which represents
the performance of the entire system. [10] Under the theoretical conditions, the calculation formula of the
throughput of the communication network is shown in formula (1):

9
ICRICA-2021 IOP Publishing
Journal of Physics: Conference Series 2216 (2022) 012045 doi:10.1088/1742-6596/2216/1/012045

8   L data - IPheader - UDPheader  (1)

Throuthput m ax 
Tdifs  CW  Tdata  Tsifs  Tack  

Where Throuthput is the throughput, Ldata is the length of the data frame, IPheader is the header of the
IP datagram, UDPheader is the header of the UDP message, Tdifs is the gap between short frames, Tsifs is
the gap between general frames, and Tack represents the confirmation time ,  represents the average
delay of the data frame. It can be seen from the above formula that the throughput of the entire network
actually represents the relationship between the bit error rate and the rate. Therefore, dynamically
selecting the appropriate transmission rate according to the actual specific environmental conditions
combined with the technical characteristics of LoRa, while meeting the requirements for communication
rate and communication quality, is of great significance to the reduction of power consumption and
work efficiency of the entire system.[11]
This paper proposes an adaptive rate algorithm based on LoRa, the core of which is to obtain the
real-time changing state of the wireless channel (CSI). Generally, there are two methods for obtaining
status information: closed-loop type (direct measurement of channel information) and open-loop type
(based on statistical information). Considering that the open-loop algorithm is based on the parameter
statistics (throughput, frame error rate, confirmation frame) of the data transmitted in a certain period of
time in the wireless channel as the basis for calculating the status information, it has a certain hysteresis.
However, the LoRa data transmission rate is low, and the communication time is short, and the open-
loop algorithm cannot be used to accurately analyze the current channel situation. So what this design
adopts is based on the closed-loop method, namely through the current channel state parameters to
directly evaluate and select the appropriate transmission rate. At the same time, combined with the
technical characteristics of LoRa, the communication rate can be automatically selected according to
different environments. This algorithm uses the handshake mechanism (RTS/CTS). First, the receiver
will calculate the signal strength value (RSSI) of the channel at the moment. The calculation method is
shown in formula (2).
Rssi  PacketRssi  PacketSnr  0 .25  164 (2)
Where Rssi is the signal strength value, PacketRssi is the noise ratio of the data packet received by the
node, PacketSnr is the signal strength of a single data packet, and -164 is the compensation value. After
calculating q, select the most suitable rate according to the pre-set signal strength and rate
correspondence table, and tell this to the sender as the best rate, and the sender and receiver will transmit
data at this rate. This algorithm optimizes the LoRa network to ensure communication efficiency while
reducing the power consumption of the entire system. The process diagram of the algorithm is shown in
Figure 11 below:
① In the initial state, A sends a connection request
packet to B at a specified rate

② B receives the request, calculates the current channel

strength, matches the best rate, and sends this rate
to A. At this time, end B is set to the best rate.
Sender A Receiver B
③ End A sends data at the optimal rate,
and both ends start communication.

④The B end sends an ACK to confirm that the data is

received, the communication between the two parties
ends, and the rate is reset to the original specified rate.

lamp control strategies, and adjusting the status of regional street lamps. As shown in Figure 12 below,
the background management system consists of three parts.

Figure 12: Web platform management interface

The left menu bar can choose to implement functions such as street lamp monitoring, strategy
management, fault alarm, historical data management, lamp management and so on, which can meet the
functional needs of most users. The middle part will show the specific distribution location of street
lights, which can help the administrator understand the working status of the street lights in the whole
area. The right side of the interface displays street lamp alarm information, including street lamp location,
alarm time, fault type, etc., combined with the map display, you can quickly find the location of the
damaged street lamp, which is convenient for timely maintenance.

5.Conclusion
This article focuses on the smart street lamp centralized control system based on STMF103 and LoRa,
which mainly combines the design of the Internet of Things technology and wireless communication
technology. Compared with the traditional street lamp control method, this design mainly has the
following four points: (1) This centralized control system uses the longitude and latitude of the street
lamp as the basic condition for switching the lamp in terms of controlling the street lamp, and combines
geographical location, traffic flow, environmental brightness, changes in parameters such as particulate
matter automatically adjust the brightness of street lights to achieve "on-demand lighting" and save a lot
of power resources. (2) The centralized controller is connected with the remote Web platform, and the
working status and fault alarm information of street lights can be viewed remotely.
(3) The LoRa communication method is adopted between the centralized controller and the single
lamp controller. Compared with other communication methods, this method has the characteristics of
low power consumption, long communication distance, strong anti-interference, and low cost. Therefore,
this communication method is very suitable for A scene with a huge number of street lights. (4) A variety
of control strategies are provided, and the administrator can freely choose the street lamp control strategy
algorithm according to the actual needs, which is more in line with the actual needs. The system has
four control strategies to choose from, and the system executes a comprehensive control strategy by
default.
Generally speaking, the centralized control system has reasonable structure and complete functions,
can meet the needs of any environment, and has actual commercial value and application value.
