TL;DR: Internet of Things (IoT) seems a viable way to enable the Smart Cities of the future and among the multiple research activities within iNUIT, two projects are presented: SmartCrowd and OpEc.
Abstract: Internet of Things (IoT) seems a viable way to enable the Smart Cities of the future. iNUIT (Internet of Things for Urban Innovation) is a multi-year research program that aims to create an ecosystem that exploits the variety of data coming from multiple sensors and connected objects installed on the scale of a city, in order to meet specific needs in terms of development of new services (physical security, resource management, etc.). Among the multiple research activities within iNUIT, we present two projects: SmartCrowd and OpEc. SmartCrowd aims at monitoring the crowd’s movement during large events. It focuses on real-time tracking using sensors available in smartphones and on the use of a crowd simulator to detect possible dangerous scenarios. A proof-of-concept of the application has been tested at the Paleo Festival (Switzerland) showing the feasibility of the approach. OpEc (Optimisation de l’Eclairage public) aims at using IoT to implement dynamic street light management and control with the goal of reducing street light energy consumption while guaranteeing the same level of security of traditional illumination. The system has been tested during two months in a street in St-Imier (Switzerland) without interruption, validating its stability and resulting in an overall energy saving of about 56%.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors propose a management system of a street light in which information necessary for the maintenance work such as the installation location of the target street light and type or the like can be easily retrieved by linking the management data of the street lights and the map data, and the breakdown information can be obtained at real time without waiting for notification, and management of this kind of street light can be simplified and made labor-saving.
Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a management system of a street light in which information necessary for the maintenance work such as the installation location of the target street light and type or the like can be easily retrieved by linking the management data of the street light and the map data, and the breakdown information of the street light can be obtained at real time without waiting for the notification, and management of this kind of street light can be simplified and made labor-saving. SOLUTION: By blinking the installation location of the target street light on a map by only inputting the information of the identification number or the like of the street light, or by displaying by picture on the computer of the client by changing the color, the management data of the street light is displayed on the same screen or different screen.
