189 Siemens is partnering with the City of Huntington Beach, California, to engineer, install and maintain a new 11,000 energy efficient streetlight system. The technology features LED lighting that aims to reduce energy consumption by over 50 per cent and create clearer illumination to help reduce vehicular accidents and increase safety for city residents.

The new technology is predicted to result in a net savings of more than US$13 million over the 20-year streetlight life expectancy, achieve nearly 3.8 million kWh in annual energy savings and reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 2.4 million pounds per year.

The project is slated for completion by early 2018.

    David Crawford detects a market for European experience. Well-established now in at least three European countries, Hard Shoulder Running (HSR) on motorways is exciting growing interest in the US. A November 2010 Report to Congress by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), on the Efficient Use of Highway Capacity, notes the role of HSR in the European-style Active Traffic Management (ATM) strategies now being recommended for implementation in the US where, until recently, they were virtually unknown.

    New safety technologies could play a major role in reducing the numbers killed on European motorways, according to the European Transport Safety Council (ETSC), in a new report published today. The new analysis of developments in motorway safety shows that, despite recent progress, around 1,900 were killed on motorways in the EU in 2013. The report cites figures from several countries showing that up to 60 per cent of those killed in motorway collisions were not wearing a seatbelt. It calls on the EU to req
