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.

    Colin Sowman gets the global view on how ITS has shaped the way we travel today and what will shape the way we travel tomorrow. Over the past two decades the scope and spread of intelligent transport systems has grown and diversified to encompass all modes of travel while at the same time integrating and consolidating. Two decades ago the idea of detecting cyclists or pedestrians may have been considered impossible and why would you want to do that anyway? Today cyclists can account for a significant propor

    Cubic’s Chris Bax looks at the challenges and benefits of implementing transport as a service. Imagine paying for travel in exactly the same way you buy your phone service. For example, you would pay a set amount in exchange for a monthly travel package covering up to 100km of free taxi journeys in your home city (including a guaranteed 15 minute pickup) and public transport usage within a 1,500km radius of your home. Not only would this option be cheaper than owning and maintaining your own car, you would

    The UK’s Alan Turing Institute and the Toyota Mobility Foundation are partnering in an 18-month project which they say is intended to modernise traffic management. They will collaborate with data providers and government managers to look at the way cities could run in future. Potential outcomes include the integration of an artificial intelligence (AI) system for traffic control, a platform for interactive data manipulation to monitor traffic behaviour and developing mechanisms for fleet operators and ci
