Signify and Upciti Announce Intent to Partner

Signify announced their intent to partner with Upciti to help cities and utilities across the United States and Canada get added value, well beyond illumination, from their lighting infrastructure.

By leveraging Signify’s road and street LED luminaires and Interact IoT connected lighting system and Upciti’s “privacy by design” edge computing image analysis sensors, cities can:  
 
Improve services like parking. Sensors can detect open spaces, communicate availability to drivers and assist them with navigation, reducing traffic congestion, supporting economic activity and even generating direct parking revenue.

Support public safety. Sensors can help identify potential situations and alert emergency services in the event they are needed.

Identify vehicle queue sizing on streets and understand public transportation and bike lane usage. With this data, the traffic flow can be adjusted and optimized in real time to reduce congestion and its contribution to carbon emissions.
