Sensor Street Lighting Solution for Smart Cities
As cities evolve into smarter, more sustainable ecosystems, the spotlight is turning — literally — towards smarter street lighting. In urban landscapes, streetlights are often overlooked elements of infrastructure. Yet they consume enormous amounts of electricity and require substantial resources to maintain. Traditional lighting systems operate on static schedules, burning energy even when streets are empty. In contrast, sensor-based street lighting, powered by intelligent control systems such as CCMS, is emerging as a game changer.
At TRUEiSENSE, our mission is to create lighting solutions that reduce electricity consumption, lower carbon emissions, and support the planet. Our presence sensor street lighting systems, paired with CCMS (Centralized Control and Monitoring System) dashboard connectivity, are designed to help smart cities move toward a cleaner, more efficient future.
The Problem with Traditional Street Lighting
Most conventional streetlights are either switched on or off at fixed times, irrespective of actual usage. This model wastes electricity and increases wear and tear due to constant operation. Additionally:
- There is no dynamic control — lights stay on even if there’s no movement on the road.
- Maintenance is reactive, not proactive — issues are usually discovered only when a complaint is made.
- It leads to high operational costs for municipalities.
- Contributes to unnecessary carbon emissions and light pollution.
In a time when climate goals are becoming non-negotiable, smart lighting is no longer a luxury — it’s a necessity.
What is a Sensor-Based Street Lighting Solution?
Sensor-based lighting uses presence sensors that detect motion — whether of a pedestrian, cyclist, or vehicle — and adjusts the brightness accordingly. These systems intelligently dim or brighten lights based on real-time movement, resulting in major energy savings.
Here’s how it works:
- When no movement is detected, the light remains dim or off.
- When someone approaches, the sensor detects motion and increases brightness.
- After a set time of inactivity, the light returns to its energy-saving state.
Unlike basic motion sensors, TRUEiSENSE presence sensors offer more accurate detection, reducing false triggers and ensuring consistent safety and performance. This approach not only saves energy but also reduces unnecessary exposure to artificial light, an important step in minimizing light pollution in urban environments.
The Role of CCMS in Smart Street Lighting
A Centralized Control and Monitoring System (CCMS) acts as the digital brain behind the lighting network. It connects every sensor-equipped streetlight to a cloud-based or local dashboard, offering remote control and deep insights.
With TRUEiSENSE’s CCMS-enabled solutions, city operators can:
- Monitor the real-time status of every streetlight.
- Schedule automatic dimming or switch-off routines.
- Receive instant fault alerts for broken or malfunctioning units.
- Track energy usage and savings on a granular level.
- Generate reports for sustainability audits and urban planning.
The CCMS dashboard is intuitive, customizable, and scalable — ideal for both small towns and large metropolitan areas.
Benefits of TRUEiSENSE Sensor Lighting with CCMS Dashboard
TRUEiSENSE’s smart lighting solution is more than just a set of intelligent streetlamps. It’s a fully integrated platform that delivers significant advantages:
Up to 90% Reduction in Energy Consumption
Lights only operate when needed, minimising electricity use without compromising safety.
Lower Carbon Emissions
Reduced power usage leads directly to fewer emissions, contributing to greener, cleaner cities.
Smarter Maintenance
Real-time fault detection allows quick fixes and minimizes downtime, reducing field inspections and manual labour.
Safety Meets Sustainability
Streets stay well-lit when people are present, deterring crime and ensuring pedestrian and vehicle safety.
Operational Cost Savings
Municipalities save not only on power but also on manpower and maintenance budgets.
Data-Driven Decision-Making
Analytics help urban planners optimise lighting zones, adjust schedules, and prioritise upgrades.
Scalability & Customization
From smart poles to neighbourhood-level solutions, our platform grows with your city.
Use Case: TRUEiSENSE Smart Streetlight in Action
Imagine a mid-sized smart city rolling out TRUEiSENSE’s presence sensor streetlights along a 10-kilometre stretch of roadway. Within the first 90 days:
- Energy usage dropped by 85%
- Fault detection improved response times by 60%
- Streetlight uptime reached 99.5%
- Resident satisfaction increased due to safer, more responsive lighting
The city’s engineers used the CCMS dashboard to adjust lighting based on traffic patterns, dim lights during off-peak hours, and schedule maintenance automatically — all from a single platform. What once took weeks of on-ground surveys could now be achieved with a few clicks.
Environmental Impact and Future-Readiness
TRUEiSENSE’s sensor lighting aligns with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDG 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities). Beyond energy efficiency, our systems contribute to:
- Climate action by reducing carbon footprints.
- Improved urban liveability through reduced light pollution.
- Integration-readiness for future systems like electric vehicle (EV) charging, AI-based traffic optimisation, and more.
Our products are designed to evolve with emerging technologies and smart city frameworks.
