Hernando Barragán (born 1974) [citation needed] is a Colombian interdisciplinary artist, designer, and academic known for creating the Wiring development platform as his 2003 Master’s thesis project at the Interaction Design Institute Ivrea (IDII) in Italy.
Street lights can be made intelligent by placing cameras or other sensors on them, which enables them to detect movement (e.g. Sensity's Light Sensory Network, GE's "Currents", Tvilight's CitySense). [5] [6] Additional technology enables the street lights to communicate with one another. Different companies have different variations to this ...
However, LED street lighting is not as efficient as low-pressure sodium (SOX) street lighting in the United Kingdom. [clarification needed] An LED street light based on a 901-milliwatt output LED can normally produce the same amount of (or higher) luminance as a traditional light, but requires only half of the power consumption.
Smart traffic lights or Intelligent traffic lights are a vehicle traffic control system that combines traditional traffic lights with an array of sensors and artificial intelligence to intelligently route vehicle and pedestrian traffic. [1] They can form part of a bigger intelligent transport system.
Lights are timed in such a way that motorists can drive through without stopping if their speed is lower than a given limit, mostly 50 km/h (30 mph) in urban areas. This system is known as "grüne Welle" in German, "vague verte" in French, or "groene golf" in Dutch (English: "green wave"). Such systems were commonly used in urban areas of the ...
In New Orleans, arc lamps were used for street lighting starting in 1881. In 1882, the New Orleans Brush Lighting Company installed one hundred 2,000-candlepower arc lamps along five miles of wharf and riverfront; by 1885, New Orleans had 655 arc lights. [1] In Chicago, arc lamps were used in public street lighting starting in 1887. [1]
Two arches on the 6th Street Viaduct were not lighted on Dec. 21. Now all the lights on the bridge's 10 sets of arches are completely out due to copper wire theft.
A number of street light control systems have been developed to control and reduce energy consumption of a town's public lighting system. These range from controlling a circuit of street lights and/or individual lights with specific ballasts and network operating protocols.
