Road Users Cherish Better Lighting at Major Roundabouts

Solution

Smart Motion Sensor Solar Street Lights

NIF chose grid-independent solar LED street lights from our partner Hofeka. These solar street lights were paired with Tvilight’s industrial street light motion sensors and outdoor luminaire controllers. The overall system, including the storage capacity, has been designed to cover the streetlight energy needs every day of the year. Including winters, when daylight hours are minimal.

With smart street lighting control system in place, the street lights at the Andornaktálya roundabout illuminate to an adequate level only when needed. With street lights brightening automatically in human presence, the safety perception of the road user increases significantly. And when there is no activity in the area, the street lights remain to a preset dim level, reducing energy waste and light pollution.

Tvilight also delivered smart street light management system, CityManager, to help the operator monitor and manage individual street light remotely from a centralized location. The system provides automatic alerts and notifications. This helps the operator to quickly identify and locate faults, and enables them to take swift corrective actions. This approach turns reactive maintenance to pro-active maintenance – keeping the lighting infrastructure up-to-date.

CityManager platform is Open, Interoperable and TALQ certified. Thanks to this, it was easy to integrate Tvilight smart street lights with the HDMR Smart City system, organized by Magyar, the company responsible for the operation and maintenance of all the national roads across Hungary.
