The construction of smart cities is a huge system, involving many products and fields. In terms of urban services, transportation, meteorology, communication, emergency, lighting, broadcasting and so on all need to have specific landing plans, but the complexity of urban management and planning makes the promotion of smart cities slow, unable to form a comprehensive and systematic solution.

In addition, in the process of smart city construction, there are many technologies involved, many departments involved, resources are difficult to unify, and the system is difficult to integrate and linkage. Because of its necessity and strong city share, the intelligent transformation can effectively solve many problems that beset the landing of smart cities. Let's take stock of what a smart light pole can do.

First, intelligent lighting

First of all, the most intelligent light pole should solve the lighting problem, which is its mission and foundation as a light pole, through the improvement of lighting technology, you can introduce power-saving LED lights, combined with automatic control, to achieve automatic induction of lights on and off, you can also combine solar technology in some areas, in urban operations to achieve power saving and intelligent control, so that lighting more intelligent, Reduce city operating costs.

Second, video surveillance

Video surveillance in the application of smart city more and more extensive, video surveillance applications are more and more rich, public safety, traffic management, smart parking, urban management, etc., need to deploy a large number of surveillance cameras on the social road surface, and these cameras need to be installed in the urban space within the specific point, light pole is undoubtedly a good choice.

The bayonet for camera installation can be reserved in the smart light pole, power support, and network environment support, which makes video surveillance landing more convenient. A unified video center can be deployed in the intelligent light pole operation center, such as arranging the video center system, connecting all the cameras installed on the light pole to the control center, and then the control center outputs rich streaming media to each department according to the needs of each department.

Video surveillance console can output SIP, WebRTC, FLV, HLS, RTSP, RTMP and other video streams and a variety of development interfaces, unified output to the benefits of all departments is the smart pole operation center unified management of camera resources, unified maintenance, unified output video capacity resources, convenient operation and management. Users can choose to pay for on-demand applications, reducing the overall installation and deployment costs.

Third, wireless communication

Smart light pole can be used as a carrier of wireless communication, the 4G/5G base station, WIFI base station deployed on the light pole, especially in the future 6G applications, the density of the base station will be further increased, the location of the communication base station will be a big problem, through the intelligent transformation of the light pole, to provide operators with base station installation carrier, is a big application scenario of smart light pole.

4. Public broadcasting

Smart light poles can be used as the carrier of urban public broadcasting, and at present, public broadcasting is also more in the mode of network broadcasting, which brings convenience to the deployment and management of broadcast sound. After the smart light pole provides power and network basic capabilities, it can be very convenient to install broadcast audio, which can be easily landed in environmental music broadcasting, information notification publishing, emergency broadcasting and other applications.

5. Information release

The smart light pole can install the information release screen, through the information release system of the management center, the emergency notice, traffic information, advertising is released to the information screen, the current information screen can use 4G/5G network communication, and the combination of installation and deployment with the light pole only requires power supply, which is very convenient.

6. Emergency help

In terms of urban management, public safety is very important, in some key areas, the installation of some emergency call alarms can effectively deter criminals, improve the communication efficiency of alarm help, combined with IP intercom help terminal, to achieve one-click alarm, video linkage, location push and other richer alarm help capabilities. Through the connection of the smart light pole and the IP intercom system, the alarm help information is received to the subjective department to achieve rapid help feedback.

Seven, Internet of Things base station

The Internet of Things is an essential link in the application of smart city, through the application of the Internet of Things can achieve information management of urban infrastructure, such as manhole cover, water, pipe network and so on. In some special application scenarios, it may be necessary to use a dedicated Internet of Things wireless communication technology to upload data, which requires the deployment of a dedicated Internet of Things base station. If LORA is used for transmission on some occasions, LORA base stations need to be deployed within a certain range to receive sensor data and then upload it, and smart light poles will be a good carrier to provide power and uplink network resources for iot base stations.

Information for the convenience of the people

In some key areas, provide convenient information query for the public, through the deployment of intelligent terminals, citizens can conveniently query nearby information, and even directly complete some recharge, query operations. It is convenient for the elderly and the disabled to take taxi connections, and the data of the convenience information terminal can be connected with business platforms such as taxis, city service organizations, and citizen complaints. To provide citizens with a better urban life experience.

Meteorological/environmental monitoring

Micro-weather stations and environmental monitoring sensors can be installed on smart light poles to form data on meteorological, air quality information, temperature, humidity, wind speed, light and rainfall information in various areas of the city in real time, and pass it back to meteorological environmental management departments, emergency departments, etc., to comprehensively assess urban environmental changes.

10. Intelligent charging

At present, the country vigorously promotes clean energy, electric vehicles and other applications are increasing year by year, charging has become a problem that puzzles people to travel, through the application of smart light poles, combined with intelligent charging equipment, to meet the new energy vehicles, electric bicycles, mobile phones and other convenient charging services. For the one-time transformation of intelligent light pole investment, to achieve the comprehensive improvement of services.

Intelligent transportation and autonomous driving

In intelligent transportation applications, smart light poles will play a role, especially in the field of unmanned driving and automatic driving, the deployment of sensors through the road is also a solution, ubiquitous road light poles, combined with the application of high-density automatic driving sensors, can make automatic driving achieve a more accurate and safe driving experience.

Smart light pole has an important position in smart city applications, at present, the project landing is mainly limited to integration capabilities, how to integrate these capabilities, and can achieve commercial landing, which is the driving force for sustainable development. At present, there are many departments using light poles, but the management of light poles still has many shortcomings in the integration ability of information technology.

The operation mode that can be considered in the event is to independently operate the construction and operation of the light pole, focusing on the information empowerment of the rear platform. The front-end resources will be capitalized and the departments in the smart city will be regarded as customers, and the unified resources will be sold in a variety of models. For example, video surveillance applications can be built through the construction of a unified video center, the front-end camera resources built once can be unified through the platform, and the ability to sell to multiple departments of municipal management for capacity realization.

There are many industrial chains involved in smart light poles, and the market size is huge. How to sweep away various obstacles in terms of project landing, so that smart light poles can truly serve the people and improve the urban happiness index is the goal and basis of the development of smart light poles industry.
