Re: Big Brother
The audio can be used, for example, to sense gun shots for crime prevention. Video has many uses such as emergency vehicles knowing ahead of time where the choke points are...Not all of the applications are explained in the article because I had to work within the 1000 word limit.

Re: Many Smart City Applications
The street lights are the source of the data which is aggregated to determine the overall flow and the timing of the stop lights. Sorry, if it was not clear enough. Each street light is able to sense how much traffic is flowing across the street and its pace. The data is sent to a central point to determine when to change the stop lights to minimize congestion.

<The replacement of aging street lights with LED lights not only created an opportunity to significantly lower energy costs but also to gather data by making them aware of their surroundings with audio, video and environmental sensors>

I love the idea of smarter traffic lights, but the thing that always pops into my mind when I read stuff like "audio and video sensors" is, "Who is using those?" Or rather, who could use them and for what purposes.

Re: Exciting!!
@elizabethv I am with you it is an exciting prospect as I too have wasted too much of my life at red lights. Still, I have my reservations...

Exciting!!
Am I the only one that finds this prospect ridiculously exiting? Efficiency is a HUGE deal for me, and one of the biggest wasters of my time is sitting in traffic. I can't stand red lights when there is no cross traffic. I would hope AI being used at intersections would also have the ability to at least shorten the change time when there is no one going in that direction. I know some already seem to have that ability, when the lights change really quickly. But this needs to be city-wide. Before we moved to Denver, my husband would brag about the timed lights down Broadway and how if you went exactly the speed limit you could hit every light on green. I personally still haven't experienced this five years later, but I'd imagine it worked out for him at least a time or two to have influenced the story. Lol.

Re: Many Smart City Applications
@vnewman - correct. He means traffic lights. It might have been the verbage used by the person being interviewed.

Re: Many Smart City Applications
I keep thinking the author means "stop/traffic lights" not "street lights" since street lights don't "change."  Is that correct?

Many Smart City Applications
It's very interesting about the street lights; I wonder what they would do mabe having mini camera in the lights or and automated monitor that tells you to stop go etc. So Smart city is mainly a plus for me but there may be some negatives to it.
