SMART CITY LAB · SMART STREETLIGHTING

Smart Streetlighting Laboratory

Explore how conventional full-output LEDs, independent local sensors, and network-coordinated adaptive controls respond to the same seeded mix of vehicles, cyclists, and pedestrians. Tune demand, sensor behavior, response times, and electricity tariffs to compare modeled energy use, lighting coverage, and operating costs.

What you can investigate

Compare energy use and estimated savings as you change traffic demand, sensor settings, response delays, road-user lighting coverage, and electricity costs. All three approaches receive the same reproducible seeded arrivals.

Three lighting approaches

This is an educational simulation. It reports modeled estimates, not validated roadway-lighting designs or proof of actual road safety.

Fixed-time LED

Conventional LED streetlights operate continuously at full output, regardless of nearby road users. This is the experiment's benchmark.

Local sensors

Each streetlight detects nearby road users and independently adjusts its brightness in response.

Connected adaptive

Network-coordinated streetlights anticipate approaching road users and adjust illumination proactively.

Interpretation: Results are modeled estimates for an illustrative 600-meter street. Illumination values are commanded output, not measured lux or regulatory compliance. Road-user coverage thresholds are illustrative and do not demonstrate real-world safety.
