A smart pole is a software and hardware complex located on street lighting poles.
The functionality of such a complex can be extremely large: analysis of the transport and environmental situation in the city, lighting control, video surveillance, meteorological monitoring. Ultimately, its main goal is the comfort of residents and effective management of the city infrastructure.
Smart poles are being actively implemented in major cities around the world. According to the latest data, the value of the global market for smart poles is $6.45 billion.
Advantages of the system:
- Convenient management and monitoring in a single window mode
- energy-efficient regulation of lighting in dangerous areas on the road (pedestrian crossings, intersections, etc.)
- expansion of the "smart road" functionality: smart traffic lights, smart pedestrian crossings, SOS buttons, traffic sensors, light sensors, eco-monitoring, transport telematics
- no fines for faulty lighting fixtures.
Depending on its purpose, the smart support can be equipped with:
• public Wi-Fi
• information board
• chargers for mobile devices, scooters, electric vehicles
• speaker for the warning system
• emergency call button
• gas analyzer
• payment terminal.
