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.

Philips estimatesthat a complete switchto LED street lights can

generate savings of approximately

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.
