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.

    Do Advanced Driver Assistance Systems represent a positive step forward for safety, or something of a safety risk? Jason Barnes discusses the issue with leading industry figures. Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) are already common. Anti-lock brakes or electronic stability control are well understood and are either fitted as standard or frequently requested by new vehicle buyers. More advanced ADAS features are appearing on many top-end vehicles and the trickle-down has already started. Adaptive

    Geographic Information Systems are a relatively late adopter of cloud computing,but the benefits of host services for geospatial data and analysis are becoming clear. Jason Barnes reports Both the concept and the reality of cloud computing have been around for some time. More and more industry sectors are entrusting external service providers with the provision of their computing services via the internet. However, the Geographic Information System (GIS) industry has been slow to embrace the trend. This is

    November 13, 2012
    Grand plans have been announced for transport investment in India aimed at boosting city economies. India’s Government Secretary for Urban Development Sudhir Krishna explains all to Jason Barnes. There are many reasons for developed countries’ high levels of urbanisation, not least of which is that the types of employment to be found in towns and cities tend to generate relatively greater wealth and so make greater contributions to a country’s economy. That creates the imperative for developing nations to f
