What are some key goals for today s city managers and tomorrow s city planners? Reduce energy costs Embrace green/sustainable technologies Enhance public safety Reduce carbon footprint Generally improve their communities Move toward becoming a Smart City
Compartmentalized Thinking Public Works is concerned with keeping the lights on, and the cost of maintaining vast amounts of equipment. The Office of Sustainability, which may fund the improvements, is often focused only on energy usage, not on the quality of the lighting, or the dramatic reduction in maintenance costs. Police, fire, and emergency services are concerned with getting information quickly, through cameras, gunshot detection and other methods of monitoring. Environmental planners and water resource commissioners deal with water, earth, and air quality.
So How Do We Tackle This? Photo of light bulb, question mark, solutions?
Heard About These Yet? LEDs are the cornerstone of an integrated strategy. Energy and maintenance savings provide payback of initial costs over a reasonable period of time. Energy consumption is immediately reduced by +/- 50%, helping to fund the upfront costs. Long term maintenance costs are dramatically reduced. Directional control and uniformity are improved, while glare should be decreased, providing an environment that is both safer, and more comfortable. Lighting systems that require a fraction of the energy, open the door to using alternative power sources, such as solar and wind.
Wireless Controls and Dimming Further Extend the Advantages of LED Can push energy savings to +/- 70%. Extend the maintenance cycle even longer. These strategies allow resources, both financial & manpower, to be utilized elsewhere, such as needed improvements to infrastructure. Wireless connectivity is the gateway to unified solutions that utilize other tools to both gather and provide information.
Cameras, Call Boxes and Emergency Alarms
The pursuit of separate solutions, thru separate thinking and processes, will tend to produce incompatibility.
So How Do We Bring It All Together? Take, store, and transmit HD images & video WiFi and broadband video communication Proximity sensors Ambient light sensors Magnetometers Gyroscopic sensors Fingerprint scanners Voice recognition software And they can make phone calls
Well, That Wasn t So Hard!

Street lighting offers the ability to incorporate multiple systems into one COP (Common Operating Platform). Funding should be shared by multiple segments of city, county, state, or federal government, all of whom should benefit. Discussions regarding both planning and funding must begin at a high level in order to produce cooperation and synergy.
The Internet of Things Smart Cities are a component of the IoT. Interconnected cities sharing information via a virtual superhighway Based on utilizing cloud storage and hi-speed fiber optic networks Everything from smart parking meters to cameras in the seating area on planes Better information leads to better solutions and improved fiscal efficiencies
On the Horizon V2V is already being implemented Vehicles are evolving into networked computers on wheels, transmitting: Speed, direction, location, road friction, temperature, humidity, ambient light level, and more V2I is next, beginning at intersections, which is where most accidents occur. Designed for better integration to the Smart Grid.
