LonMark, the open

Smart Streetlight Platform

Save energy and enhance maintenance efficiency
on your streetlight network

Frdric Caillet, Lumiville 30 Mai 2013

Streetlighting: Critical but Expensive City Assets

300 MILLION STREETLIGHTS IN THE WORLD

60 million in Asia/Oceania
90 million in Europe
63 million in North America

EACH STREETLIGHT EMIT 300 KGs OF CO

330 Kg of CO per year per streetlight
World-wide average

EACH STREETLIGHT COST 120 USD PER YEAR

Of which 65 USD electricity and 55 USD maintenance
Night patrols (visual identification of lamp failures)
Lamp replacement every 3 years for HPS
Trucks and service cars
Maintenance teams
Incoming calls
Installation, maintenance, and retrofit

90 MILLION
TONS OF CO

Importance of Interoperability
Need for flexibility and choice
Technologies Power line, wireless or wired
Vendors sole-source proprietary versus open system
Future proof leverage common infrastructure

Requirements for Interoperability

International standards-based communication protocol

Standard Media choices powerline, wireless, wired
Compliance testing and verification Industry standards (LonMark.org)
User Interface Options IT model of best of breed apps, GUI

Importance of Interoperability
Competitive Bid Cost Control
Open specifications compliance and cooperation
No vendor Lock-in initial bid and long term service

Reliability, Security, Serviceability

Access control limiting, tampering prevention
Up-time, serviceability, reduce customer complaints
Predictive maintenance: solve problems before they happen

The solution is proven, open and capable of supporting

many applications, which gives us the ability to deploy
streetlight controllers from multiple manufactures as well as
different light technologies over time.

Who is LonMark ?
Mission:
The mission of LonMark International is to allow an easy integration of

systems based on LONWORKS networks using products from different

manufacturers and from different applications.

Definition of Interoperability:
The condition has been met as long as several products of the network
from the same or from different manufacturers can be integrated into
the same system without the need of using a third party gateway or a
development tool

www.lonmark.org

Traditionnal closed system

Only one supplier

High cost for jobs and upgrades of the

system

Limited extension possibilities

The number of specialists will be smaller

Interoperability with other suppliers will be

non existing

Very little choice or non existing

Isolate the automation function

The user is attached for the whole life of the system!
