The Swedish city’s traffic department will utilise Itron’s Streetlight.Vision smart city management platform to manage streetlights, improve energy efficiency and optimise performance.
The City of Stockholm plans to deploy the Itron smart city central management software, Streetlight.Vision (SLV). The city has signed a contract for the software, which provides asset management, analytics and control capabilities.
Stockholm, which was named as the Smart City of 2019 at the Smart City Expo World Congress event in Barcelona last year, has a goal to become the world’s smartest city by 2040 and one of its key use cases is streetlight management.
Optimising performance
To meet this use case and achieve its goals, Stockholm’s traffic department will utilise SLV to manage streetlights, improve energy efficiency and optimise system performance.
“Through innovation, openness and connectivity, we are making Stockholm more economically, ecologically and socially sustainable," said Maria Holm project manager of the Stockholm smart and connected lighting project.
She added: "Smart streetlighting is a vital component of this strategy because it provides immediate energy savings, helps us achieve our sustainability goals, and lays the groundwork for our future smart city vision.
“Itron will be an important and innovative partner in our work to achieve the goal of becoming the smartest city in the world.”
