Idea: Connected City Experience | Smart Poles Co-creation
 

Along with its partners, Ericsson, Campbell Scientific Canada, Q-Free and SLS Lighting, Philips is proposing...

The installation of a Philips smart pole network will serve as connected LED light source which can be remotely managed, provides real-time energy usages, houses technology to improve public safety, and nightlife. In addition to the above functionality, it will include third-party Internet-of-Things technology to create a full suite of smart city solution utilizing existing footprint of street lighting.

The inclusion of Ericsson’s Small Cell technology will allow the smart pole network to deliver ubiquitous wireless network coverage for multiple carriers that blends into the cityscape without occupying extra space. By integrating Campbell Scientific Canada’s smart city sensors and WeatherBrain environmental intelligence platform, you turn your street lighting into a network for monitoring road, sidewalk, and path conditions, as well as measuring precipitation levels with flood warning analytics and alarms.

Air quality sensors proactively monitor and measure particulate matters (PM). Integrated Smart Poles will serve as a beacon to inform residents about weather conditions. Q-Free’s sensors detect and monitor cyclist or pedestrian traffic, and will give priority to certain road users at the signalized junction while proving actual usage counts. The journey time monitoring system mounted on Smart Pole will accurately measure vehicle and pedestrian journey times using low-power, non- intrusive technology.
