The growing scale of urban public lighting and outdated public lighting management methods have produced violent contradictions. Problems such as low level of information technology, high operation and maintenance costs, and serious power waste have become increasingly apparent. How to conduct comprehensive scheduling and digital management of public lighting facilities, reduce operation and maintenance costs, improve operation and management, and save energy are development issues that need to be strictly faced and implemented in the lighting industry and even in the process of urban evolution.
The social and economic benefits brought by smart street lights can be analyzed from the following aspects:
1. Smart street lights replace traditional municipal street lights, public security monitoring, traffic signs and other stand-alone independent construction models, greatly improving the appearance of the city and improving the management level of the city.
2. The use of more energy-saving LED street lamps and higher-power high-pressure sodium lamps can reduce the power to less than 50% of the original high-pressure sodium lamp power while maintaining the original road lighting conditions. The result of this is that electricity is saved and electricity bills are lowered.
3. In addition to time control and centralized control, it can also be dynamically controlled remotely based on seasonal and environmental changes to achieve intelligent control. The system sensor device automatically tracks the sunrise and sunset status to reasonably adjust the switch light time. Different weather conditions adopt different lighting strategies, and automatically adjust the lighting voltage according to the illuminance and power supply conditions of the circuits to achieve power saving and energy saving.
4. There are a large number of street light poles, and the management tasks of operation and maintenance personnel are becoming increasingly onerous. Smart street lights rely on the smart street light integrated management platform to remotely monitor and debug street lights, and support fault alarm, fault detection, and fault handling tracking functions, reducing manual inspection work and greatly improving the level of informatization.
5. The commercial operation of smart street lights is also a highlight. LED display for advertising revenue, 5G micro base station rental revenue, charging pile service operation, etc. are all channels for the later recovery of construction costs. In the future, smart street lights will be equipped with more equipment and facilities to provide more services for the people.
