Chicago plans to replace 85% of the city's street lights with smart LED street lights

Chicago plans to replace 250,000 smart LED street lights in the nation's largest smart streetlight program. Renewable energy company Ameresco will work with Iron Spring Networks, an Internet of Things (IoT) solution provider, in a four-year infrastructure modernization program to convert approximately 85% of existing Chicago street lights into smart LED street lights.

According to Smart Cities World, this multi-phase infrastructure modernization program will begin in the summer of 2017. The new LED street light is estimated to save 50 to 75% of electricity compared to existing street lights.

Silver Spring's IPv6 platform can control switch street lights remotely according to actual needs, and can also be remotely monitored for active maintenance, and can also speed up maintenance when street lights fail.

At least half of the LED street lights installed in the first year will be assembled at the Chicago plant, and at least 50% of the projects will employ Chicago residents. The first phase will conduct a comprehensive survey of existing streetlights in Chicago. At this stage, at least half of the staff will use graduates of vocational school courses, construction technology training courses, or apprenticeship apprenticeship courses in Chicago public schools.

Silver Spring executive Mike Bell said the Chicago streetlight update program will be one of the largest modernization plans in the United States to date. The promise of Mayor Rahm Emanuel to use the latest IoT technology to improve the living standards of the citizens is extremely encouraging, and I hope that seeing this plan will lay the foundation for the future application of smart cities.

The Smart LED Street Light will be owned and operated by the City of Chicago and will be supported by Silver Spring Networks' Managed Services and its Streetlight.Vision Control and Management System software.

The economic benefits and benefits of an intelligent streetlight network include assisting cities to manage resources prudently and achieve sustainable development goals. The intelligent streetlight infrastructure will be integrated into the Chicago 311 system. The Chicago Public Construction Fund (CIT) will work closely with the Chicago Department of Transportation, the Innovation and Technology Department, and the Chicago Parks office in this procurement program.
