Public lamp posts represent one of the major carriers of modern technologies in the city, enabling collect data related to the city operation and its environment. We start with the pilot project on Karlínské Square, which thus acquired a new, more modern lighting system. The objective is to reduce electric energy consumption and, at the same time, furnishing the posts with other functionalities by the means of newly installed measuring sensors. The modernized public lighting posts may also increase the safety of people at the given location.
Sensors monitor motion in their surroundings, measure temperature, CO2 pollution, meteorological parameters and noise. Data are archived in a data platform and processed for further application. In the future, lamp posts could also provide data on neighbouring buildings, benches, smart waste containers, parking meters, etc.
Part of the project involving 92 lights and a sensory network has been successfully completed and evaluated.
The Smart Lighting project also includes a pilot modernization of 5 lamps (lamp posts respectively). It complements the smart functions as an AC charging station for electric vehicles placed on the bottom of the lamp post. The device will be equipped with sensors for air pollution monitoring and with meteosensors. This part of the pilot project (5 EV charging stations) was not implemented within this pilot project.
