A plan to control the street light using the iPad is started

A plan to make London street lamps controllable from the iPad began. This is a plan to monitor street lights and allow engineers to operate street lights by iPad, crossing the central part of London. Along with the decision at Westminster City Council, it is planned that over 4 years the city lights of 14,000 will be able to be operated with iPad.

The initial investment amount seems to be 3.25 million pounds (about 417 million yen), but it is considered to be recoverable in 7 years due to the reduction of maintenance costs and the power saving effect. Not only can we reduce energy costs annually from 420,000 to 1620 pounds (about 54 million yen), we will be able to illuminate the streets for 24 hours and will also play a role in safety.

This is the first time to electronically manage street lights in the UK. If the light needs to be replaced or the wire breaks, the system will discover it and the engineer will be dispatched immediately. The system can predict the exchange of light beforehand. This also allows engineers to adjust the brightness using iPad's app even from under street lights.
