A light management information system for an outdoor lighting network, comprising: an outdoor lighting network comprising a plurality of outdoor light units (106, 206) each including at least one sensor type (110, 226), where each of the outdoor light units is adapted to communicate with at least one other outdoor light unit (106, 206); at least one user input/output device (122, 239) adapted to communicate with at least one or more of said outdoor light units (106, 206), wherein the at least one user input/output device (122, 239) is adapted to send/receive wireless signals to/from said plurality of outdoor light units (106, 206), said wireless signals including a user identity; a central management system adapted to communicate with said outdoor light units (106, 206), characterized in that said central management system is adapted to receive outdoor light unit status/sensor information from one or more of said outdoor light units (106, 206) or receive user information requests from said at least one user input/output device (122, 239), and adapted to send control commands and/or information to one or more of said outdoor light units (106, 206), in response thereto; said central management system having a user database for storing, based on information on said user identity in said wireless signals, traffic information, including at least one of relative locations, speed and volume information of users relative to a respective outdoor light unit (106, 206); the light management information system further comprising: a resource server adapted to communicate with said central management system, the resource server including resources that are selected from the group consisting of news media & Internet information, public transportation schedules, public safety reports, security reports, regulatory reports, traffic reports, weather reports, cellular telephone traffic reports and road condition reports; wherein the central management system is adapted to use the outdoor light unit status/sensor information and resources from the resource server to provide information to the at least one user input/output device (122, 239), the information relating to the received user information requests from said at least one user input/output device (122, 239). an outdoor lighting network comprising a plurality of outdoor light units (106, 206) each including at least one sensor type (110, 226), where each of the outdoor light units is adapted to communicate with at least one other outdoor light unit (106, 206); at least one user input/output device (122, 239) adapted to communicate with at least one or more of said outdoor light units (106, 206), wherein the at least one user input/output device (122, 239) is adapted to send/receive wireless signals to/from said plurality of outdoor light units (106, 206), said wireless signals including a user identity; a central management system adapted to communicate with said outdoor light units (106, 206), characterized in that said central management system is adapted to receive outdoor light unit status/sensor information from one or more of said outdoor light units (106, 206) or receive user information requests from said at least one user input/output device (122, 239), and adapted to send control commands and/or information to one or more of said outdoor light units (106, 206), in response thereto; said central management system having a user database for storing, based on information on said user identity in said wireless signals, traffic information, including at least one of relative locations, speed and volume information of users relative to a respective outdoor light unit (106, 206); the light management information system further comprising: a resource server adapted to communicate with said central management system, the resource server including resources that are selected from the group consisting of news media & Internet information, public transportation schedules, public safety reports, security reports, regulatory reports, traffic reports, weather reports, cellular telephone traffic reports and road condition reports; wherein the central management system is adapted to use the outdoor light unit status/sensor information and resources from the resource server to provide information to the at least one user input/output device (122, 239), the information relating to the received user information requests from said at least one user input/output device (122, 239). a resource server adapted to communicate with said central management system, the resource server including resources that are selected from the group consisting of news media & Internet information, public transportation schedules, public safety reports, security reports, regulatory reports, traffic reports, weather reports, cellular telephone traffic reports and road condition reports; wherein the central management system is adapted to use the outdoor light unit status/sensor information and resources from the resource server to provide information to the at least one user input/output device (122, 239), the information relating to the received user information requests from said at least one user input/output device (122, 239).
