Ultimate goal of smart street light poles in the IoT

To operate an IoT city, a large number of sensors are needed to collect data, and streetlights on every street in a city are the best carriers. Hundreds of millions of streetlights scattered across cities worldwide are being transformed into data collection points for smart city IoT.

Smart street light poles are equipped with weather instruments, high-definition cameras, intelligent lighting (LED lights + individual light controllers + sensors), charging stations, one-button calling, wireless Wi-Fi, micro base stations, and more. For example, cameras can be used to monitor vacant parking spaces, weather instruments can measure urban air quality, and sound sensors can detect unusual noises.

Experiencing Energy Saving in a Different Way

How to let the public feel the charm of technology and personally experience the “smartness” of a smart city is also something that smart city construction has been working on. Using individual light control combined with infrared sensing to control LED lights can achieve humanized and intelligent functional lighting. For example, when you walk on a quiet, dark street, the streetlights are staggered and emit a faint light. Only when a person approaches the streetlights will they turn on, gradually reaching maximum illumination. If you leave the streetlights, they will gradually dim and then turn off or automatically adjust to a dim light as you move away.

Experiencing the Convenience of Modern Technology

In our daily urban lives, finding parking spaces and traffic congestion are very troublesome, resulting in a very unpleasant experience.

Most streetlights are located next to parking spaces, so high-definition cameras using artificial intelligence algorithms can determine whether parking spaces are vacant and transmit the actual situation to drivers looking for parking spaces through an application. Furthermore, the backend system can also manage vehicle parking, including charging and timing.

From a long-term perspective, smart street light poles utilize data collected by visual sensors, such as parking space vacancy, road icing, and street conditions. This data helps city managers improve urban services. One crucial aspect is the ability of visual sensors to track pedestrian and vehicle traffic patterns. Combined with traffic lights, the system can autonomously adjust traffic light timings based on actual traffic conditions, effectively alleviating congestion. In the not-too-distant future, traffic lights might even be eliminated altogether.

TIANXIANG welcomes new and existing customers to customize smart street light poles. With years of experience in the outdoor lighting industry, we can create multi-functional smart street light poles integrating intelligent lighting, 5G base stations, video surveillance, environmental monitoring, emergency call systems, and charging stations.

Our smart street light poles are made of high-strength steel, treated with hot-dip galvanizing and powder coating for double corrosion protection, suitable for various scenarios including urban main roads, parks, scenic areas, and rural roads. Depending on the installation environment, we can customize the pole height, diameter, wall thickness, and flange dimensions.

TIANXIANG has a skilled technical staff that can offer one-on-one solution optimization, closely monitoring the production process to guarantee that product quality satisfies requirements and delivery time is manageable. Selecting us will help advance the development of smart cities by providing you with an affordable, personalized solution and thorough post-purchase assistance!
