Description
Based on meeting road lighting requirements, this smart light pole is equipped with various devices (sensors) to achieve multiple functions and possesses smart capabilities. In practical applications, the multi‑function smart lighting pole functions as a landing pad for drones (unmanned aerial vehicles / UAVs). This solution is a smart street light pole with a drone landing platform, including a base and a light sensor. Auxiliary brackets are provided on both left and right sides of the base, and a controller is mounted on the outer surface of the base. On the left side of the pole, a drone landing platform is equipped with a wireless charging plate inside. Below the landing platform is a wind sensor, above is a protective cover, and on the upper surface is a deceleration strip. Inside the smart light pole, a light sensor is installed; to its right is a lamp cover, inside which is a light fixture, and below the fixture is a camera. This smart light pole with a drone landing platform uses the deceleration strip to slow down the drone when it lands, preventing impact damage from excessive speed.

Intelligent Features of the Drone Smart Light Pole
The drone takes off slowly, the top of the drone platform opens, and the drone lands precisely – all of this can be seen on the LED display screen of the Sanqian Smart Light Pole System Management Platform at the command center, using data collected by the high‑definition spherical camera mounted on the smart light pole beneath the drone platform. Unlike traditional street lights, the smart light pole integrates hardware such as surveillance cameras, 5G micro base stations, and security alarms. Through information sensing and big data interaction technologies, it enables smart lighting, smart traffic, information release, and other functions. The smart light pole can automatically adjust brightness according to traffic flow, and also features fault alarms, remote meter reading, etc., significantly saving power resources and reducing maintenance costs. The combination of smart light poles and drones is essential for future smart transportation, helping people quickly grasp vehicle and road conditions, optimize travel plans, and reduce waste of public resources.
If a traffic accident occurs in the area, the smart light pole performs intelligent computation, immediately takes photos for evidence, sends an alarm message from the backend, simultaneously notifies staff via SMS, and the drone quickly flies to the scene for real‑time monitoring and remote guidance – providing “from far to near, from sky to ground” comprehensive support for daily management, congestion control, emergency command, and road network maintenance.

Sanqian Smart Cloud Control Management Platform for Drones
Whether it is data collected by drones or images captured by the spherical cameras mounted on the smart light pole, none of it can function without the coordinated operation of the Sanqian Smart Cloud Control Management Platform, flight control management platform, artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms, and data analysis platform. This coordination is a critical part of the Sanqian smart light pole and drone airport system. With the high‑density integration of the Sanqian Cloud Control Platform and AI algorithms, the system plays a huge role in urban appearance order management, municipal facility maintenance, static control of motor vehicles, scenic area management, illegal construction investigation, construction waste management, and more. Using cutting‑edge technologies such as big data, cloud computing, blockchain, and AI to innovate urban management methods, models, and concepts – moving from digital to intelligent to smart – making cities smarter and more intelligent is the only way to modernize urban governance systems and capabilities.
