Tata’s smart city software reduces payback period from LED streetlights

Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) says its new Intelligent Urban Exchange (IUX) intelligent software allow cities to derive 15% to 25% in additional savings from LED lighting by optimising streetlight operation using machine learning and predictive analytics on real-time and historic data. Designed for both LED and conventional streetlights, TCS says the cloud-based IUX enables individual streetlights to respond to real-time events by automatically adjusting city lighting to suit changes in traffic, people

Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) says its new Intelligent Urban Exchange (IUX) intelligent software allow cities to derive 15% to 25% in additional savings from LED lighting by optimising streetlight operation using machine learning and predictive analytics on real-time and historic data.

Designed for both LED and conventional streetlights, TCS says the cloud-based IUX enables individual streetlights to respond to real-time events by automatically adjusting city lighting to suit changes in traffic, people movement, weather and crime patterns.

According to TCS, its connected intelligence platform enables data from transportation, energy, water and other domains to be accessed, exchanged and analysed, making it useful for crisis management and emergency response.

    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

The European Commission's (EC's) new Action Plan for the Deployment of Intelligent Transport Systems in Europe, which was announced as 2008 drew to a close, intends that transport and travel become 'cleaner; more efficient, including energy efficient; and safer and more secure'. At first sight, that wording might be interpreted as marking a significant policy shift within Europe, wit

    David Crawford watches the race to get the world's first PRT system up and running. To paraphrase the old joke about buses bunching, you seem to have to wait several decades for a Personal Rapid Transit (PRT) system, and then half a dozen come along together. Currently, in fact, there are well over that number of schemes for driverless electric passenger-carrying 'pod' networks at various stages of planning, design and implementation around the world. Locations range from a straight-off-the-drawing board ne
