More than 60,000 street lights in Chengdu have "ID cards"

In 2021, Chengdu will start the intelligent transformation of urban lighting facilities. It is planned to replace all sodium lamp light sources in Chengdu's municipal functional lighting facilities with LED light sources within three years.

One year after the transformation, the special census of lighting facilities in the main urban area of Chengdu was also launched simultaneously. This time, applying for "ID cards" for street lamps has become the key.

The "ID card" contains all the information of the light pole, providing precise positioning for street light maintenance and citizen repairs. At the same time, through digital twin technology, the street light is connected to the "network" to achieve precise control of each street light.

Up to now, Chengdu has completed the "ID card" processing work for more than 64,000 street lamps.

The maintenance workers put a white sign on a gray background at a place 1.8 meters above the ground on each light pole, which printed the name of the road section where the light pole is located, the name of the maintenance unit, the QR code, the number of the light pole, and the telephone number for repairs, etc. information, just like a street light "ID card".

"The signboard we installed is made of engineering-grade EGP prism reflective material, and the back glue is permanent glue, which can not fade, fall off, or pulverize within 5 years, and has excellent waterproof and anti-ultraviolet properties.” The on-site staff said that different lighting facilities correspond to different “ID cards”.

In addition to light poles, lighting facilities such as power distribution cabinets and transformers in the main urban area are also designed with exclusive "ID cards".
