With cities responsible for approximately 70% of global energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions, enhancing efficiency in urban lighting plays a critical role in addressing climate change and improving urban living conditions. Rising energy costs, driven by ongoing energy crises, further strain the budgets of city residents and municipalities, underscoring the importance of optimizing energy use within city infrastructure.1
Smart street lighting forms a crucial component of sustainable urban infrastructure, aligning the city’s growth with technological advancements. Unlike traditional lighting, which operates on fixed schedules, smart street lighting systems dynamically adjust based on real-time conditions, thereby reducing energy use by up to 50% without compromising safety.
Optimizing the Urban Environment Through Intelligent Lighting
Smart street lighting represents more than an advanced technology; it is a practical solution tailored to the demands of contemporary urban life. This adaptive model tailors lighting to the actual needs of drivers and pedestrians instead of adhering to rigid schedules. In a smart street lighting system, each lamppost is equipped with sensors that continuously monitor movement and ambient light levels.
