Design of Network and Pole for Meeting Lighting, Communication, and Energy Needs from a Single Source in Disasters

Abstract

After disasters, survivors face numerous needs beyond immediate material and medical aid. However, in densely populated cities, post-disaster response times are prolonged. Growing urbanization and population increase the impact of disasters and complicate response plans. Therefore, cities should be equipped to meet essential post-disaster needs, such as lighting, communication, and energy, autonomously. Addressing lighting, communication, and energy needs from a single source in disasters requires a multidisciplinary approach that involves energy efficiency and robust infrastructure solutions. The swift and effective management of post-disaster processes depends on the uninterrupted continuation of these services. In this study, following a systematic literature review, a multifunctional pole design was developed using engineering design methods, and the system's capacity and other parameters were evaluated through mathematical modeling. This hybrid pole provides a network structure offering integrated lighting, energy, and communication services during and after disasters. The pole incorporates various energy generation methods, data transmission options, wireless access points, mobile charging stations, sensors, and IoT devices. This design is expected to play a crucial role in meeting the basic needs of disaster survivors both during and after a disaster.

Afetlerde Aydınlatma, Haberleşme ve Enerji İhtiyacının Tek Noktadan Karşılanması için Şebeke ve Direk Tasarımı

Abstract

Afetlerin ardından, afetzedeler acil maddi ve tıbbi yardımın ötesine geçen çok sayıda ihtiyaçla karşı karşıyadır. Bununla birlikte nüfus yoğunluğunun fazla olduğu şehirlerde afet sonrası müdahale süresi uzamaktadır. Artan nüfus ve kentleşme, afetlerin etkilerini daha da artırmakta ve müdahale planlarının daha karmaşık hale gelmesine neden olmaktadır. Bu sebeple kentler afet sonrası aydınlatma, haberleşme, enerji gibi temel gereksinimleri kendi kendilerine karşılayabilecekleri şekilde donatılmalıdır. Afetlerde aydınlatma, haberleşme ve enerji ihtiyaçlarının tek bir kaynaktan karşılanması, enerji verimliliği ve sağlam altyapı çözümleri gerektiren çok disiplinli bir yaklaşıma dayanır. Afet sonrası süreçlerin hızla ve etkili bir şekilde yürütülebilmesi, bu hizmetlerin kesintisiz devamına bağlıdır. Bu çalışmada, sistematik bir literatür taraması sonucunda, mühendislik tasarımı yöntemi ile çok fonksiyonlu bir direk tasarımı geliştirilmiş ve matematiksel modelleme ile sistemin kapasite ve diğer parametreleri değerlendirilmiştir. Bu hibrit direk, afetlerde aydınlatma, enerji ve haberleşme hizmetlerini bir arada sunan bir ağ yapısına sahiptir. Direk, farklı enerji üretim yöntemleri, veri aktarım seçenekleri, kablosuz erişim noktası, mobil şarj noktaları, sensörler ve IoT cihazları gibi donanımları entegre eder. Bu tasarımın, afet anında ve sonrasında afetzedelerin temel ihtiyaçlarını karşılamada önemli bir rol oynaması beklenmektedir.
