Reducing Crime with Street Lighting in New York City

Reducing Crime with Street Lighting in New York City

We find evidence that communities that were assigned more lighting ex- perienced sizable reductions in crime. After accounting for potential spatial spillovers, we find that the provision of street lights led, at a minimum, to a 36 percent reduction in nighttime outdoor index crimes.

Crafting Parking Lot Lighting for Safety and Energy Savings

Crafting Parking Lot Lighting for Safety and Energy Savings

Advanced, or “Smart Lighting” controls provide us with the ability to tailor lighting for continual changes in pedestrian and vehicle traffic, ambient light, seasonality of vegetation, and the surfaces (e.g., concrete or asphalt) being lit.

Most of these elements are constantly changing throughout a day, a month, a season, or year.

Smart Lighting controls, sensors, and advanced software systems enable cities and organizations to automate and optimize their lighting to avoid under-lighting or over-lighting to increase safety AND reduce energy use.

The Use-Case for Smart Street Lighting

The Use-Case for Smart Street Lighting

As Smart Connected Cities grow and develop globally (with climate action and safety initiatives being push forward), new methods for information collection, safety monitoring, and renewable energy use are of great value.

The primary benefits of Smart Street Lighting are to provide lighting adapted to the movements in a city while having a bird’s eye view of the surroundings, connecting streetlights across a city or region.

They provide an optimised lighting services, according to movements and traffic, using electricity more efficiently and collecting data to be used to improve transport networks and traffic safety.

Here we also discuss the value of the Smart City network enabled by Smart Lighting solutions such as those from Tondo.
