Switzerland's border cities are connected with street lighting to check traffic volume.

By using sensors to detect traffic flow, the Internet street lighting system in St Gallen, Switzerland can significantly reduce energy consumption.

Local urban engineers can manage all the lighting facilities in the pilot area through a Web based console. The operator can turn on the lights or turn off the lights, or adjust the lights individually or in a designated group. At the same time, lighting can be controlled according to the time of day, the day of a week and / or the time of the year.

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

Responsible for the pilot area are high-tech lighting manufacturers OSRAM and wireless sensor network technology company Paraox Engineering SA. They expect that the new lighting system will save 65% of energy compared with traditional outdoor lighting technology.

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

These LED lights are connected through the wireless mesh technology of Paradox.

"Responsible use of energy and available resources is very important for an innovative city like St Gallen," says Urs Etter, head of public lighting in St Gallen's urban utilities.

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

"Over the years, we have been investing in the LED system, and we are proud to adopt this dynamic intelligent lighting solution, which will further enhance our sustainability performance." (Editor: LED net James)
