UK council upgrades street lighting maintenance

Peterborough City Council’s ambitious plans to minimise maintenance costs will be aided by street lighting asset management software from 188 Mayrise Systems which will also work in tandem with the UK council’s central management system.
 
Mayrise Street lighting is a complete asset management system designed to simplify and improve the management of asset records. It provides fast online access to inventory, contractor and customer records and incorporates instant mapping to pinpoint asset or fault locations. Handling cyclic maintenance, fault management, electrical testing and financial control. Mayrise street lighting also links to corporate GIS and portable computers for field data entry and mapping.

The asset database links to the council’s Telensa system which allows for the remote control and monitoring of lighting units. Wireless technology lighting units are fitted with a small radio aerial. The unit transmits information, such as energy consumption, burning hours, temperature and mains supply voltage, and can also be used to determine if a lamp has failed. Operating times can be controlled and the lighting level of the unit varied in those devices that have a dimming module installed.

“The installation of the Mayrise street lighting system has helped us to create and maintain a detailed street lighting inventory which has been integral to our improvement plans,” commented Sally Savage, a senior officer at Peterborough City Council. “The Mayrise system integrates with our remote control and monitoring system and our maintenance contractors can access the system remotely.”

So when Ride-On, the public transportation system in Maryland’s Montgomery County, was moving one of its three depots into a bigger and purpose-built facility, connectivity was a key consideration.

    EdgeVis removes bandwidth barriers to mobile streamed video
    A new generation of video compression can lower transmission costs of data and make streaming from mobile and body-worn cameras a reality, as Colin Sowman discovers. Bandwidth limitations have long been the bottleneck restricting the expanded use of video streaming for ITS, monitoring and surveillance purposes. Recent years have seen this countered to some degree by the introduction of ‘edge processing’ whereby ANPR, incident detection and other image processing is moved into (or close to) the camera, so
