INTELLIGENT STREET LIGHTING
Future City Glasgow in the UK is an ambitious programme.
Intelligent Street Lighting will be trialled in the pilot projects for the future city. It will demonstrate how technology can make life in the city smarter, safer, and more sustainable.
According to the programme, energy efficient LED lamps will be installed. This will show how the city can use these lamps to carbon emissions, cut power consumption, and increase safety.
Sensors will also be installed on lighting columns. These devices will collect data such as footfall, air and noise pollution levels. This information will feed into the Open Data Platform which, in turn, will make it available to the public.
The system of smart lights will be programmed to increase in brightness if the noise level rises, for example, if there is a disturbance in the city. The pilot project will integrate with the City Operations Centre, which helps staff to monitor the new network of modern cameras to zoom in on any problems.
The LED system will be operated remotely from the Operations Centre. This could allow for increased lighting if there was an event in the area like a concert or street festival.
Intuitive street lights will also be installed on the city’s cycle routes. These tracks for cyclists are mostly unlit. The lights will operate at low brightness rising to maximum when they sense an approaching cyclist. This will help to increase safety in the area and give people more confidence to use the routes after dark.

Audio script:
According to medical research, too much animal fat is bad for our health. For example, American people eat a lot of meat, but they eat only a small amount of grains, fruit and vegetables. Because of their diet, the Americans have high rates of heart disease and cancer. In contrast, people in Japan eat large amount of grains and very little meat. They also have very low rates of heart disease and cancer. The fact is that Japanese people live longer than anyone else in the world. However, when they move to the United States, rates of heart disease and cancer increase as their diet changes. When hamburgers, ice cream, and other fatty foods become popular in certain communities in Japan, rates of heart disease and cancer go up there as well. Today, many people in other countries are also eating more meat and dairy products. This could explain why rates of heart disease in these countries are increasing along with the changes in diet. That is why doctors advise that people should eat more grains and vegetables and eat less meat and dairy products.
