Cleveland installs smart streetlight and camera control

Cleveland in Ohio is ramping up a programme to improve management of cameras and lighting.

The US city is using the T-Light Galaxy Network from ST Engineering Wireless to manage 61,000 streetlights.

Cleveland Public Power commissioner Ivan Henderson says the initiative is part of the Safe, Smart CLE Project, which combines the conversion of streetlights to LED with the ST Engineering lighting control system and 1,000 cameras operated by the Cleveland Police Department.

ST Engineering says the T-Light platform allows different light intensity to be set for residential and commercial locations.

Utility company Cleveland Public Power deployed the T-Light Galaxy communications infrastructure in three days.

Henderson insists the system provides Cleveland with the “backbone for more advanced, future-ready smart city applications like the high-definition images and our police department’s remote control of streetlights that can be dimmed or brightened throughout the city”.

For the project, ST Engineering installed three gateways to cover the city’s network of streetlights and plans to install a fourth gateway.

    Connected cars require uninterrupted signals to ensure driving safety. Going underground creates problems – but a trial in Norway suggests that there might be light at the end of the tunnel… As connectivity becomes increasingly important for transportation – in particular for connected and autonomous vehicles (C/AVs) - the problem of ‘blackspots’ and dead zones where signals fail or drop out is a pressing one. But developments early this year suggest that advances in technology might be on the brink of d

    Despite much research and technological promise, progress towards cooperative infrastructure system deployment is still slow. Here, Robert Cone and John Miles take a considered look at how and when it might come about. From a systems engineering viewpoint it looks logical and inevitable that vehicles should be communicating between themselves and with the road infrastructure. But seen from a business viewpoint the case is not proven.
