Smart Mobility Ushers in Connectivity Revolution
LAS VEGAS-Wednesday 9 January 2019 [ AETOS Wire ]
(BUSINESS WIRE) --
New technological advancements are turning smart street lights into
AI-empowered traffic controllers! LITE-ON Technology (TWSE:2301)
announced that the company’s AI-enabled smart street light solution has
seen its first implementation in Southeast Asia, where streets
experience high traffic volumes throughout the day and drivers are prone
to traffic violations. Since its debut, the solution has alleviated the
workload related to ticketing for the city. With the average of 3,000
traffic citations issued every day in the region, ticketing used to be
highly labor-intensive. However, the solution “shortens the handling
time from one day to three hours, while drastically improving the
accuracy for identifying violations,” said David Yeh, General Manager of
Leotek, Smart Life and Applications Strategic Business Group, LITE-ON
Technology Corp.
In view of the pressing challenges, LITE-ON exhibits technologies under the theme of “Smart Mobility: The Connectivity Revolution” at CES 2019. The company features innovative solutions in Urban Mobility, Automotive Electronics and Smart IoT, with the AI-instilled smart street light and traffic management solution being the key focus of the first category.
Connected, AI-Powered Street Light Applications Brighten the Future of Traffic Management
To
relieve traffic congestion, many cities in Southeast Asia have adopted a
series of measures over the years, including setting up high-occupancy
and bus-only lanes, but to little avail, David Yeh noted. The jeepneys
that roam the city streets, for instance, constantly pull over at some
random points in the road to compete for passengers, posing risks to
road safety. Integrating with street lights and surveillance cameras,
LITE-ON’s AI-enabled smart street light solution also leverages local
communication and system operators to facilitate the city’s traffic
management. High-violation periods and high-accident zones are
identified to optimize decisions for dispatching patrol officers and
lowering human judgment errors.
The
company will also demonstrate traffic signals that recognize elderly
and infirm pedestrians at CES. Embedded with ultra-precise sensing
technology, these signals discern disabled pedestrians using wheelchairs
and automatically increase the green-light duration without any human
intervention. Also on display will be wireless communication modules
based on LPWAN technology, an essential piece for the IoT, as well as
smart surveillance cameras supporting LoRa, Zigbee, Sigfox or NB-IoT
protocols.
In-House Vertical Integration of Smart Connected Lighting Solution
This
year, LITE-ON has partnered with Taiwan’s top-tier research university
Tsinghua University to implement its first vertically-integrated
connected lighting solution on Tsinghua’s campus. The projects
incorporate in-house Wi-Fi AP, surveillance cameras, light poles and
wireless communication technology.
"Campus
security is at the core of the connected lighting solution's add-on
applications. With the impeccable Wi-Fi performance, image-processing
algorithm and in-house design, LITE-ON’s surveillance cameras can endure
uncertainties of outdoor environment and perform seamlessly by
generating stable videos for analytics use,” said Allen Hsu, General
Manager of Video Surveillance Strategic Business Group, LITE-ON
Technology Corp.
LITE-ON
brings together latest IoT technologies of the group to showcase
solutions that support cloud implementations as well as streamline the
flows of people and information. The company aims to engage with more
businesses and governments and strives to be their essential partner in
the connected era.
