Use Case: Streetlight Wire Theft Detection

“A report has been received regarding the theft of electrical infrastructure at a railway station in the southern part of the country. Two trenches were discovered from which communication cables buried in the ground were removed, totaling approximately 300 meters. This caused significant damage and has disrupted the signaling and traffic management systems of the railway in the southern region.”

Factors Affecting Perceived Safety in Railway Stations

Factors Affecting Perceived Safety in Railway Stations

Feeling safe in public transport is essential for mobility, and fear of crime can be a larger problem for the individual than crime itself.

Among the most important characteristics affecting passengers’ safety are lighting, surveillance, other persons’ behaviour, time of day, and one’s own gender.

Creating safe spaces for railway and public transit facilitates increased use, which has follow-on socio-economic benefits for cities.

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.
