Under the wave of smart city construction, the smart upgrade of street lights is now also ushered in. New smart street lights have appeared on the streets of Shanghai, Shenzhen, Chengdu, Qingdao, Harbin and other cities one after another. After the smart upgrade, they will carry a more profound “mission” than urban public lighting-smart city information collection and convenient service terminals. Become an important entry point for smart city information collection. IoT gateway
Smart street lights are actually equipped with various sensors and sensing devices other than lighting equipment on the street light poles, such as charging piles, LED information release screens, high-definition cameras, emergency alarms, 5G base stations equipped with networks, parking detection, environmental perception, manhole covers and Sekisui monitoring, network audio and video, etc., make use of the Internet of Things and Internet technology to make street lights become smart city information collection terminals and convenience service terminals.
Traditional street lamps mainly play the role of urban public lighting equipment, but street lamps themselves have natural geographic coordinate properties. Due to their wide coverage and regular distribution, this geographic coordinate advantage also allows them to become a public service terminal carrier. Such as 5G base stations, monitoring components, urban broadcasting systems and even charging piles.
In the context of the development of smart cities, urban public infrastructure is generally becoming informatized and networked, including smart street lights, as well as products such as Internet of Things manhole covers, electronic water gauges, etc., which have been expanded between cities. The pilot application is expected to be popularized on a large scale in the country in the future, forming a large-scale urban information collection terminal, helping various functional departments to carry out their work based on data in an orderly manner, improving quality and efficiency.
Smart street light
Take Qingdao, Shandong as an example. There are more than 80,000 video surveillance points for public security, traffic, monitoring, and inspection systems, more than 100,000 street lamp poles and other lighting facilities, 13,000 mobile communication base stations, and even more power towers. As amazing. In order to solve this problem, the management department proposed a “multi-pole-in-one” model, which integrates communication base stations, street lights, environmental monitoring, public security video surveillance, LED advertising, charging piles, WiFi and other functions on one pole, effectively promoting The efficient and intensive use of resources.
Take the Chengdu smart street light project as an example. The smart street light system not only improves operation and maintenance efficiency, but also reduces maintenance costs and expenses. After adopting the smart street light system, operation and maintenance costs are reduced by 56% a year.
Smart street lights can deliver a steady stream of private information resources for the construction of smart cities, which is an incomparable advantage of traditional manual on-site inspections. The comprehensive integration of urban infrastructure such as 4G/5G micro base stations, WiFi equipment, sensors, video surveillance, RFID, public broadcasting, smart lighting, information release, charging piles, etc., makes smart street lights like the nerve endings of the city can fully perform information Collect, publish, and transmit to form a smart perception network. Through deep integration of multiple types of resources, the “sharing, intensive, and overall planning” of resources can be realized, which greatly reduces the cost of city construction and improves the efficiency of city operation and maintenance, which brings benefits to the construction of smart cities. It has multiple benefits.
