Canadian company 903 Streetlight Intelligence, a leading developer of adaptive street light control and monitoring technology, and the 5589 National Semiconductor Corporation have entered into a non-binding memorandum of understanding (MOU) to integrate SLQ's Lumen IQ adaptive street light control systems and National Semiconductor's LED driver technology and assess further business opportunities that may arise. The companies' intentions are to develop and promote future integrated LED driver and intelligent control and monitoring solutions for street lighting, as well as enhance SLQ's existing intelligent control and monitoring product for high intensity discharge (HID) street lights.

"We anticipate marketing products to LED street light manufacturers that are feature rich while offering a major cost advantage over current options, which could potentially have a dramatic effect on the overall adoption of LED-based adaptive street lighting," states Vince Krynski, CEO of SLQ. "By working closely with National, our ultimate objective is to increase the use of intelligent street lighting controls, reduce the cost of production and ease the cost of installation."

The two companies initially expect to collaborate on integrating SLQ's control system with National's LED driver solution for street lighting. They will also evaluate development possibilities for the next generation of hardware for the Lumen IQ adaptive street light management system, including a spatial redesign of the Lumen IQ controller to fully integrate inside all styles of street light fixtures.

    The growing impact of heavy commercial vehicles on urban and interurban highway infrastructures around the world is driving the need for reliable route access restriction and monitoring. The support role of enforcement is proving fertile ground for ITS development. Bridges are especially vulnerable – and critical in terms of travel delays. The US state of Oregon’s Department of Transportation (ODOT) operates what it claims is one of the country’s most aggressive truck route restriction enforcement programme
