Taoyuan City, a bustling municipality adjacent to New Taipei City in Taiwan, completes an innovative journey to transform its urban landscape. With over 160,000 streetlights, the city took a significant step towards energy conservation and carbon reduction by replacing traditional streetlights with intelligent, energy-efficient LED streetlights from LEOTEK. This initiative was part of Taoyuan City’s broader commitment to improving streetlight maintenance efficiency and enhancing road lighting quality.

Intelligent Streetlight Management for Enhanced Efficiency

A key feature of this transformation was the smart streetlight management system. This advanced system automatically reports luminaire faults to the control center, streamlining maintenance processes. This automation not only reduces the labor costs associated with night inspections and public fault reporting but also significantly improves the service quality and maintenance response time for streetlights.

Innovative Lighting System for Improved Road Safety

Part of Taoyuan City’s project included a groundbreaking concept for a lighting system that detects and adjusts to the reflection state of the road surface. By automatically changing the luminaire’s configuration based on weather conditions, the system ensures optimal lighting performance. This adaptive lighting is crucial for improving road safety, reducing traffic accident rates, and ensuring the safety of drivers and passengers.

Recognition and Collaboration

The project’s success and innovation was recognized with a 2020 Gold Award by the Architecture Lighting Institute of Taiwan. This prestigious award underscores the collaborative efforts of Far EasTone (FET), a leader in telecommunications, Liteon Corporation, and the Taoyuan municipal government in creating a new vision of a ‘smart city’.

FET’s Role in Taoyuan’s Intelligent Street Lighting

FET played a pivotal role in the implementation of Taoyuan City’s intelligent streetlight project. As a key member of the initiative, FET was responsible for the construction, maintenance, and operation of streetlights in Taoyuan City’s North District. The company assisted the municipal government in controlling streetlight scheduling through a real-time remote monitoring and automatic fault reporting system, providing an optimal lighting and road use environment for the public.

Future of Smart Street Lighting in Taoyuan

The LED human intelligent street lighting system in Taoyuan City represents a leap forward in using technology for public welfare. The intelligent networking streetlights are designed to actively monitor energy consumption and quickly rectify faults, contributing to energy savings and improved road safety. Looking ahead, these smart streetlights are set to incorporate Internet of Things (IoT) technology, big data, and artificial intelligence for various applications, including passenger flow analysis, image recognition, and air quality detection. They can also be customized to provide multiple services such as electric power transmission for electric vehicle charging, expansion into micro weather stations, and 5G base stations, paving the way for a comprehensive smart city solution that meets local demands.

Through this ambitious project, Taoyuan City is not only enhancing its infrastructure but also setting a benchmark in the creation of smart, sustainable urban environments.

IP Ratings: A Comprehensive Guide to Ingress Protection for Electrical Enclosures

What is an IP Rating? An IP Rating is a standardized way to measure the effectiveness of an enclosure’s protection against the intrusion of foreign bodies such as dust, moisture, and accidental contact. Governed by the international standard EN 60529 (British BS EN 60529:1992 and European IEC 60509:1989), IP ratings provide a clear and concise indication of an enclosure’s resistance to solids and liquids.
