Abstract
A system for detecting localized ground position changes makes use of plurality of lighting units, each fixed to the ground. Each lighting unit comprises a positioning system and a transmitter for transmitting positioning information to a remote central processing unit. The positioning information from the plurality of fixed lighting units is processed to identify local ground position changes. The infrastructure of a networked lighting system in this way enables ground information to be determined, for example for detecting ground movement in response to natural events or man-made activities (such as tunneling, building, extraction of natural resources etc.).
