Smart street lighting will become the development point of smart cities

With the continuous development of human society, the future cities will carry more and more people, and the problem of 'urban disease' is still serious, and the development of smart cities has become the key to dealing with urban problems. Smart city is a new way of city development. Now, 95% of cities above the sub-provincial level, 76% of cities above the prefecture level, and a total of more than 500 cities have proposed to build smart cities. However, the smart city is still in its preliminary stage, and the system construction is too complicated, and the urban smart street light project is undoubtedly the best place to go.

　　 In recent years, with the maturity of skills, products, and the spread of related concepts, smart lighting application scenarios have become more abundant, which roughly include commercial/industrial lighting, outdoor lighting, residential lighting, and public lighting; in addition, the country is paying more and more attention Energy-saving and environmental protection work is accompanied by the rapid development of LED semiconductors and new-generation digital communication skills. Smart lighting shopping malls are gradually developing in the construction of smart cities, and bright spots are frequently appearing everywhere.

　　 According to experts, many cities across the country have introduced smart lighting projects. Among them, smart street light poles have become the data collection node and application completion carrier of smart cities. Street lights can not only complete simple lighting, but also control the timing and brightness of the lights according to the weather and the flow of people; lamp posts no longer only support street lights, but can also help people make choices to avoid congestion, and even become a WiFi connection and data transmission. Import...This is the help and convenience that smart lighting brings to people in the field of street lamps. In fact, with the construction of smart cities, from indoors to outdoors, smart lighting is gradually illuminating every corner of urban life, which will complete the revolutionary changes of the city from management to service, from governance to operation, from trivial division to collaboration. .

　　 The prospects are expected to be prioritized in the public and outdoor areas

　　 As far as my country is concerned, three batches of smart city pilot projects have been released, totaling 290 cities; in addition, the construction of smart cities will be an important starting point for my country to promote urbanization during the '13th Five-Year Plan' period.

　　 Thanks to the support of the government and major cities around the world to promote smart city plans, the construction of smart cities is expected to accelerate further in the future. Therefore, the use of smart lighting as an important part of smart cities in the public domain will also be given a priority. .

　　 The smart lighting system can increase the utilization rate of urban energy, bring practical benefits to the city, and has an immediate effect. It can also use lighting equipment to capture more urban roads and spatial information, and open up the 'sky into the earth' data. For street lights with a large share of the city, smart street lights have functions such as automatic brightness adjustment according to traffic flow, remote lighting control, automatic fault alarm, lamp cable anti-theft, remote meter reading, etc., which can greatly save power resources and improve public lighting Management level, saving protection costs. This also explains the growing popularity of smart lighting in urban construction.

　　 Although smart street lights are currently in the early stage of development, smart street lights have been launched in the United States, India, the Middle East, and my country. With the tide of smart city construction, the market space for smart street lights will have unlimited prospects. According to relevant data, outdoor lighting accounted for 11% of the global smart lighting market in 2017.

　　 In addition to smart street lights, smart lighting will gradually penetrate into public places such as stations, airports, subway stations, underground parking lots, schools, libraries, hospitals, stadiums, museums, etc. According to data flashes, public lighting accounted for 6% of the global smart lighting market in 2017.

　　The future of smart lighting Humanization and automation

　　 At that time, the development of smart lighting in my country was still in the preliminary stage of using mobile phones to control light bulbs, change colors, or remotely control. 'The way is greater than the content, the operation process is not convenient, and the user needs are not matched, the standard is inconsistent' and other problems always exist. When the user's initial freshness disappears, some people point out that the vast majority of smart lighting products are actually 'pseudo'. 'Intelligence' is far from real 'intelligence'. Most of the functions of smart hardware are dispensable, and they have not pierced the pain points of customers. It is a big 'dead spot' for smart products to be dealt with urgently.

　　 There is no need to experience lighting control, and home users cannot effectively enjoy the convenience of smart control. The current smart control is actually not much different from the switch control of the early years. If it is only the switch brightness and energy-saving control, the current building control The system can be simply finished, and the light control is the rest.

　　 Obviously, simple dimming and color adjustment can not satisfy the customer's demand for smart lighting. Although most smart lighting products now require networking operations, there is still a long way to go from real smart lighting. Regarding the future direction and development trend of intelligent lighting, the answers given by industry insiders are actually quite different, namely, humanization and automation.

　　 Summary: As an important part of a smart city, smart lighting uses urban sensor networks and power carrier technology to connect street lights in the city to form an 'Internet of Things, To make intelligent response and intelligent decision support for various needs including people's livelihood, environment, public safety, etc., so that urban life lighting can reach the 'smart' situation. Smart lighting has now entered a period of high-speed development, with larger and wider application scenarios. It will become the best location for smart city development in the future, and it is not far away.
