Smart Lighting for Bicycle Paths
Empowering sustainable travel with responsive lighting
Encouraging cycling is central to modern urban planning, but cycle paths often pass through parks or isolated corridors where darkness compromises safety. Lighting these paths at 100% all night is a waste of energy, harmful to nature, but leaving them dark is not an option.
TVILIGHT provides the ideal solution for active travel. Our smart technology ensures that bicycle roads are brightly lit the moment a cyclist is detected, while staying at a low, eco-friendly level when the path is empty. We make green mobility safer and more attractive, ensuring the path is always ready for the rider.
Responsive Lighting
Adaptable illumination that supports safety without trading off energy savings.
- The ‘follow-light’ experience. When a cyclist is detected, the system instantly triggers the next set of lights ahead, creating a “wave of light” that anticipates the rider’s speed.
- Zero light lag. The high-speed RF mesh network ensures lights brighten instantly, providing a seamless and comfortable riding experience without visual delays.
- Dynamic occupancy sensing. Paths remain at a minimal energy-saving glow until sensors detect movement, ensuring light is only present when the track is in use.
- Wayfinding and perception. By keeping the rider in a safe “circle of light,” we improve the visibility of the track, potential obstacles, and other path users.
One Platform for Whole Bicycle Network
Manage remote cycle highways and green corridors from a single screen.
- Unified mobility dashboard. Monitor every light point across remote or urban bike paths from one centralised CityManager interface.
- Proactive maintenance. Receive instant alerts for lamp failures on secluded paths, ensuring repairs are carried out swiftly to keep the route safe.
- Asset lifecycle tracking. Digitally track the performance and burning hours of every luminaire to plan efficient maintenance cycles and avoid unnecessary site visits.
- Usage intelligence. Gain deep insights into how and when your cycle paths are being used through integrated sensor data and occupancy reporting.
Built for Bicycle Road Environments
Solutions designed for isolated paths and ecological harmony.
- Bio-friendly illumination. Adaptive dimming protects local flora and fauna by minimising light pollution in the green belts where bike paths often run.
- Dark Sky compliance. Precise controls eliminate unnecessary “Sky Glow,” preserving the natural beauty of the environment while supporting “Dark Sky” initiatives.
- 3-level fail-safe. In an unlikely case of system error, lamps return to 100% brightness automatically, ensuring cyclists are never left in the dark.
Open and Future-Ready
A standardised foundation that integrates with existing and upcoming green infrastructure.
- Any luminaire, any generation: Works with Zhaga Book 18 (D4i), NEMA 7-Pin and 5-Pin, DALI DT6 / DT7 / DT8 and 0–10V / 1–10V — allowing for a quick upgrade of existing or new path fixtures.
- Open standards: Our TALQ-certified platform shares data effortlessly with third-party smart city or mobility management systems.
- Hybrid connectivity. Support for both self-healing RF mesh and Cellular networks provides the flexibility to cover urban bike lanes or remote forest trails.
- Smart-path foundation. Lighting poles can host weather stations, emergency call buttons, or air quality sensors to enhance the rider’s environment.
