Route Fifty: Chicago is nearing the point of no return procuring a smart lighting system that will convert about 270,000 high-pressure sodium fixtures across the city to LED streetlights over four years.
The Windy City receives 3.9 million 3-1-1 calls a year, and 40 percent of those service requests are duplicates. Many of them involve broken streetlights.
Placing every LED fixture on a wireless lighting management system will ensure that they last two to three times longer—10 to 15 years each—and the city’s Department of Transportation can quickly respond to issues thanks to real-time outage information.
