Swiss border cities install network street lighting to detect traffic

Through the use of sensors to detect traffic flow, the network street lighting device in St Gallen, Switzerland can significantly reduce energy consumption.

Local city engineers can manage all lighting in the pilot area through a Web - based console. The operator can turn on or turn off the light, and it can also be dimmed individually or in the designated group. At the same time, lighting can be controlled according to the time of one day, one day of the week and / or the time of the year.

At the same time, the sensors integrated in the lamps and lanterns provide autonomous control by detecting the traffic in the late night.

The pilot area is the high-tech lighting manufacturer OSRAM and Paraox Engineering SA, a wireless sensor network technology company. They expect that the new lighting device can save 65% more than traditional outdoor lighting.

At present, OSRAM has provided about 60 SL20 lamps and lanterns, which have been installed along the local Oberstrasse street.

These LED lights are connected by the wireless network technology of the Paradox.

Urs Etter, director of public lighting for public utilities in St Gallen, said, "the responsible use of energy and available resources is very important for an innovative city like St Gallen."

"Street lighting has a direct impact on the attractiveness of the city, so on the one hand, saving energy, emissions and money, on the other hand, ensuring the quality of life and public safety, we have been seeking the best balance."

"We have been investing in the LED system for years, and we are proud to be able to use this dynamic intelligent lighting solution, which will further improve our sustainability performance." (Editor: LED network James)
