Smart meters record consumption of utilities (e.g., electricity, water, or gas) and communicate the information for monitoring or billing. Cities can improve the efficiency and reliability of utility networks using utility-grade metering. For example, a city can optimize its distribution network to reduce electrical power outages and brownouts. VALO’s Smart City Platform is well suited for utility metering since it can power smart meters and transmit information.
Sensors connected to VALO’s smart street lights can monitor trash bins to measure fill-levels. Cities can use this information to plan waste collection schedules and routes, saving time and money. VALO’s Smart City platform is ideal for deploying waste management systems.
Sensors or cameras connected to VALO’s street lights can identify if parking spots are vacant or filled. This data could be used to bill drivers, or identify parking infractions and abandoned vehicles. Alternatively, this technology can assist in directing drivers to available parking.
