The role of smart street lights in future smart cities

Last year, the 15 “smart street light” poles that were piloted in the first batch were unveiled on Dagu Road. It has eight functions such as smart lighting, charging electric vehicles, free WIFI, and one-key calling. When smart street lamps are the standard equipment of smart cities, they are connected to the collection and distribution of smart city information, which means that the original common street lamps will change from quantity to qualitative, and are no longer limited to charging. After nearly a year of trial, various functions have been widely praised.

It can be seen that in the future evolution mode of smart street lights, in addition to basic lighting, energy saving and various intelligent controls, in the future it will no longer be a street light pole in the traditional sense, but will evolve into urban objects. The collection end of the connected sensor network, the open carrier of outdoor convenience measures, has become an important part of data collection and monitoring for smart city construction. After the street lights are transformed from traditional street lights to smart street lights in the future, car owners can use smart street lights to check road conditions and traffic congestion while charging, monitor the rain and snow ahead, and even if they are in danger, smart street lights can achieve all-round and three-dimensional monitor.
