In recent years, large and small urban road traffic accidents have occurred frequently, and a large part of them occur in urban road monitoring blind areas. If only relying on limited traffic monitoring at intersections, it is impossible to supervise illegal activities well and it is difficult to provide enough for handling accidents. evidence of.

Therefore, the high density and large number of street lamps in the city have become the focus of attention in the industry. The construction of smart cities just needs a large amount of sensing equipment to collect the information resources that the city always breeds. The streetlights that insight into the city information quickly become smart city information resources. Collection entrance.

Smart street lights plus city security

After integrating a large number of IoT sensing devices such as smart cameras, smart information large screens, sensors, etc., smart street lights have become a unified bearing platform for urban road infrastructure.

Smart street light has natural carrying capacity, can fully utilize the smart face lamp integrated face recognition camera, WIFI probe, emergency alarm and other functions, integrated surveillance camera, widely used in safe city, face recognition, snow engineering, intelligent transportation, wisdom Smart city applications such as parking.

In addition, the emergency alarm module can be integrated to quickly transmit the alarm to the management center. The management center can observe the scene through video, and can communicate with the alarm person through real-time intercom to timely deal with sudden and malicious incidents and prevent dangerous expansion. Effectively solve public security problems.

It is predicted that by 2021, the market size of various hardware and services with smart street lamps as the entrance will be 3.7 trillion yuan, accounting for 20% of the total size of the smart city market.

A number of cities at home and abroad have started smart streetlight construction plans

Under the street lamp, the electric car is being charged in a dedicated parking space, and the street lamp is also monitoring the roadside situation and releasing city information at any time. This is the research and development of the Internet of Things by the Chongqing Optoelectronic Information Research Institute with the "light pole as the carrier". Soon, it will be widely promoted and demonstrated in key sections of Chongqing.

In addition, Taiwan"s Taipei and Taoyuan City successively promoted the smart streetlight introduction plan in 2019: Taoyuan planned Qingpu as a smart city test site, while Taipei adopted a smart streetlight pilot to introduce the streetlight network as a powerful IoT platform. Intelligent lighting, safety warnings, traffic flow and flow count, parking space vacancy monitoring and other functions. According to the plan, Taipei will build 12,600 smart street lamps in 5 administrative districts in 2019. It is expected to gradually expand to Taipei throughout the next three years, and build more than 110,000 smart street lamps.

In addition to Chongqing, Taipei, and Taoyuan, there are already a number of cities, such as New York, which already have replacement plans. In the future, the public will see “smart street lights” on the city roads and gradually light up the road to a safe city.

Conclusion: Of course, although the industry generally believes that artificial intelligence, edge computing, IoT platform, 5G communication and super gateway will be the development direction of smart street lamps in the future, but who is the leader of the current smart streetlights, who will aggregate technology, who will come The three major challenges of the camp are unresolved, and it is worthwhile to think about when to fully open the market.
