Smart Street Lighting Solution for Hefei Utility Tunnel Power Supply Monitoring Center

Project Overview

Hefei Utility Tunnel Power Supply Monitoring Center is a government-funded institution built for urban management and operation in Hefei City, Anhui Province, China. From the very beginning of its establishment, the institution proposed a smart city smart street lighting development plan, aiming to combine daily municipal operations with intelligent public infrastructure.

As part of this plan, a smart street lighting solution was deployed at the intersection of Taipinghu Road and Beijing Road in Baohe District, Hefei. The project integrates information display, public surveillance, audio broadcasting and environmental monitoring into the street lighting system, turning ordinary street lights into multi-functional urban management terminals.

Project Location

• City: Hefei, Anhui Province, China
• District: Baohe District
• Location: Intersection of Taipinghu Road and Beijing Road
• Owner: Hefei Utility Tunnel Power Supply Monitoring Center (government-funded urban management and operation institution)

System Configuration

The smart street lighting solution was customized according to the requirements of the monitoring center. The following configurations were applied to the street light poles:

Key Features of the Solution

• Integrated Urban Management: Street lighting poles serve not only as light sources but also as carriers for information display, monitoring, broadcasting and environmental sensing.
• Customized Configuration: The IP audio column and air quality monitoring modules were customized to match the specific needs of the monitoring center.
• Centralized Operation: All intelligent functions are managed through the urban management operation platform, supporting the daily work of the institution.
• Smart City Foundation: The project demonstrates how smart street lighting can support government-funded urban management institutions in building a digital city infrastructure.

Why Smart Street Lighting for Urban Management

For city management and operation institutions, street lighting infrastructure covers every road and district, making it a natural platform for smart city services. By equipping street light poles with LED displays, surveillance cameras, IP audio systems and environmental sensors, municipal authorities can:

• Deliver important notices and emergency information directly to the public in real time.
• Extend public security monitoring coverage across urban road networks.
• Broadcast voice messages for daily services and emergency response.
• Monitor air quality at street level to support environmental decisions.

Conclusion

The Hefei Utility Tunnel Power Supply Monitoring Center project shows a practical path for government-funded urban management institutions to build smart city infrastructure through smart street lighting. By combining LED displays, surveillance cameras, customized IP audio columns, LED modules and customized air quality monitoring at the intersection of Taipinghu Road and Beijing Road, the project provides a multi-functional platform that supports daily urban management and contributes to the long-term development of a smarter city.
