LEDLIGHTS
Switching to LED technology alone will not be enough to meet cities’ energy consumption and cost reduction targets. Adaptable, networked lighting solutions are required to bring savings to the next level

One third of the world’s roads are still lit by technology dating back to the 1960s. These street lights are expensive, typically consuming approximately 40% of a city’s overall electricity costs.

THE FUTUREOF STREETLIGHTING
STAGE 1: LIGHT EMITTING DIODE (LED) LIGHTING
STAGE 2: NETWORKED STREET LIGHTS
STAGE 2: NEW SERVICE DEVELOPMENT
NEW SERVICES
Integrating sensors such as air quality, noise, motion and weather sensors on lampposts reduces cost of deployment and enables researchers to collect, monitor, analyse and make decisions based on granular, real-time information.

As cities around the world adopt intelligent street lighting systems, they are beginning to see the wider potential of the humble streetlight. Networked ‘smart’ streetlights have the potential to act as a smart city platform, enabling a range of other smart city applications through the integration of data collection devices such as sensors and cameras.

ENVIRONMENTALMONITORING
Cities are using street lighting infrastructure to host Wi-Fi networks for public use or to enable the deployment of Internet of Things (IoT) devices. Other cities are using lampposts to host small cell technology in order to improve mobile connectivity in dense urban areas and to generate a new revenue stream for the city through renting the small cell capacity to network operators.
PUBLIC WI-FI ANDINTERNET PROVISION
Mounting data collection devices such as CCTV cameras and sensors into
lighting infrastructure reduces deployment costs and enables the delivery of new services. American cities are using lamppost mounted
noise sensors to triangulate gunshots, while others are using networked CCTV
cameras to recommend safe walking routes based on pedestrian activity.
PUBLIC SAFETY
Deploying cameras and sensors on street lights enables a range of smart
parking and traf�c optimisation solutions. Smart lighting enabled
parking solutions can provide parking guidance for citizens and reduce the
cost of parking enforcement for authorities. Traf�c optimisation
solutions provide real-time traf�c monitoring, incident detection and
management capabilities.
TRANSPORTOPTIMISATION
Networked smart lighting infrastructure is being used to host digital signage applications as the existing connectivity allows information to be updated in real-time. This allows dynamic digital signs to be used for way�nding, traf�c management and public communication purposes. The digital signs can also be used for advertising purposes, generating additional revenue for the city.
DIGITAL SIGNAGE& PUBLICCOMMUNICATION
Cities are integrating electric vehicle charging sockets into lampposts in order to provide charging points for EV owners without off-street parking in urban areas. This reduces the need to designate EV-only parking spaces, and aims to increase adoption of EVs in dense urban areas.
