LAMPPOST research explored radically new strategies and protocols for the supply of both energy and data communications along existing power transmission lines used by Intelligent Vehicle and Transport Infrastructures (IVTI). In particular, how power line communications (PLC) could be potentially used as a method for data transmission in a large-scale smart sensor networks, where the sensors are embedded in smart street furniture (e.g. lamp posts, buildings both sides of the road etc.). Newcastle supported the development of the integration of data communications (PLC) with the existing “mote” technology developed in the MESSAGE project and to demonstrate the integration in an indoor outdoor Integrated Technology demonstration.
