NeuroCity

The NeuroCity project aims to develop luminaries for street lighting with high energy efficiency, high color efficiency and intelligent monitoring and control capabilities. The intelligent features allow not only making large savings due the use of LED technology but also allow to create an efficiency and intelligent public lighting system, which self-regulate according to the pedestrian and road activities without putting comfort and safety of citizens at risk. Thanks to the long lifetime of LED technology, we can reduce significantly the maintenance costs and security problems connected to any unforeseen breakdown. The main expected results are: - Implementation of innovative algorithms for automatic detection and classification of events, based on visual and auditory information. Implementation of public lighting strategies based on the cooperative perception performed by the intelligent luminaries; - Design and development of a LED drivers with high performance (>95%). Optimization of the driver reliability in order to achieve more than 50.000 hours in a street environment; - Project for optimized luminaries to ensure high optical and thermal performance and minimization of maintenance needs; - Implementation and demonstration of intelligent luminary prototypes integrating the previous results.
