5SYNAPSE STREET LIGHTING AND CITY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM 4/

SMART STREET LIGHTING
The fundamental functionality of SYNAPSE is to act as a smart street lighting control
system. It allows you to control and monitor every luminaire in your street lighting
installation with ease either manually or using schedules, as individual devices or
in zones. This alone can provide immense energy savings and reduce maintenance
significantly. It can also greatly improve urban safety by ensuring light is provided
where, when, and to the degree needed no matter what.
URBAN & ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING
SYNAPSE, however, is so much more than a smart street lighting control system.
By placing devices, such as sensors, on the existing lighting infrastructure or any
other place in the city, you can create a tight mesh of urban and environmental data
collectors that let you know what is happening anytime, any place. From measuring
air quality and waste build-up to traffic monitoring and helping citizens find parking
spaces, SYNAPSE enables you to take full advantage of the possibilities.
ANALYSIS & DECISION-MAKING
So many sensors provide a lot of data. But to make data useful, you must turn it
into actionable information. The advanced SYNASPE ANALYTICS software does just
that. It not only records data and presents it as diagrams, tables, and reports for
immediate use, it can tell you about what happened in the past and use that to
put current data in context. Basically, it develops with your city, town, or village to
ensure you have all the information you need to optimise city management.
FUTUREPROOF SMART CITY PLATFORM
SYNAPSE is built around the open LoRaWAN™
specification so that the system
can be adapted and updated as needed and easily incorporated with other asset
management systems and unrelated sensors and systems using non-proprietary
hardware and software with bi-directional API connectivity. Many sensors and other
devices are battery-powered with a lifetime of up to 20 years, meaning they do not
need to be fed by the electrical grid, and all communicate wirelessly. This makes it
easier than you may think to build a truly unique and expandable Smart City platform
that can do whatever you need it to, even things we maybe haven't thought of yet.

INVESTMENT-CONSCIOUS
SYNAPSE operates wirelessly, making
the whole installation cost effective as
there is no need for the reconstruction or
installation of wiring infrastructure.
ADAPTABLE & FLEXIBLE
SYNAPSE is built to adapt to your needs
as everything is easily incorporated into
the existing structured or unstructured
electrical grid and can function even over
difficult terrains. And the whole project
doesn't need to be done at once. You can
start with one street or zone and continue
seamlessly from there.
SEAMLESS INTEGRATION
Street lighting represents an existing
infrastructural grid that covers our
entire urban landscape. The utilisation
of that grid for lighting control, smart
city management, and environmental
monitoring offers cost-conscious, and
effective options for now and the future.
REDUCE ENERGY USE BY 80 %
The combination of LED light sources
and smart control technologies provides
up to an 80 % decrease in the energy
consumption of the street lighting system.
REDUCE MAINTENANCE BY 70 %
& FURTHER CUT OPERATIONAL
COSTS BY 42 %
System-wide device status enables
effective monitoring of every component
In the system, so issues and faults are easily
and immediately found, and maintenance
faster and more cost-effective.
INCREASE SAFETY BY 20 %
SYNAPSE allows each luminaire to adapt
in real-time to provide the light needed,
where and when needed. Higher
illumination levels in certain places and at
certain times can lower crimes rates, while
the reduction of light output during times
of low activity such as the early morning
can greatly reduce energy consumption
without compromising safety.
PROVIDE UP TO 90 % OF
ENVIRONMENTAL DATA
SYNAPSE can also incorporate a network
of environmental sensors to deliver data
and actionable information about CO2
,
NOX
, fine dust, UV, ambient temperature,
humidity, noise, radioactivity, and more.
URBAN MANAGEMENT
It is also possible to add sensors that
manage urban activity. It will be easy
to assess the movement and activity of
people and real-time traffic flow to aid
traffic management, as well as to measure
utilities, manage waste and water, and
support citizens with parking information.

Functionality
FULL SYSTEM AWARENESS
SYNAPSE provides in-depth information about everything happening is the system
including real-time feedback of any changes and detailed electrical parameters for
each luminaire: Wh, WARh, V, W, A, WAR, PF, and frequency. The harvested data is
transformed into actionable information through the SYNAPSE ANALYTICS software
and presented as notifications, tables, diagrams, and reports.
REMOTE ON / OFF CONTROL
Any street luminaire can be controlled by SYNAPSE using manual or scheduled
individual or group control, and even adaptive control based on the use of ambient
lighting, motion detection, and other sensors.
DIMMING
SYNAPSE supports DALI dimming of the street lighting. This means the lighting can
adapt to real-time or expected needs according to the day or time of day. During
times of low traffic and urban activity, lighting can be safety dimmed to a desired
level, which greatly contributes to energy savings and reductions in CO2
emissions
as well as extending the lifetime of the light sources. Also, dimming the lighting
reduces light pollution and other environmental effects.
SMART SCHEDULES
Luminaires included in a SYNAPSE smart street lighting system operate autonomously
based on astronomical clocks, photocells, or motion sensors. However, the lighting
can always be adapted to meet the needs of special events as SYNAPSE supports
time-limited schedule overriding and real-time operator commands.
REPORTING & MAINTENANCE SCHEDULES
SYNAPSE ANALYTICS receives, prioritises, and compiles data from across the system
into actional information. The software provides advanced analytical tools, and
customisable maintenance and spare parts planning, all to improve the reliability,
and functionality of the street lighting.
AUTOMATIC ADDRESSING OF DEVICES
SYNAPSE is built around a system of devices (Nodes). They can be integrated directly
within a luminaire, attached to it, or located anywhere else in the city as long as it is
within communication range of a SYNAPSE Gateway. Each Node is identifiable based
on GPS coordination and requires no manual setup before use. Engineers can easily
locate a specific device on the move via the SYNAPSE software and GPS tracking.

IN ADDITION TO BEING A SMART LIGHTING CONTROL
SYSTEM, SYNAPSE CAN BE USED AS THE BACKBONE
OF A COMPREHENSIVE URBAN AND ENVIRONMENTAL
MONITORING SYSTEM.
SYNAPSE ALLOWS FOR THE CONNECTIONS OF A WIDE
RANGE OF NON-LIGHTING RELATED SENSORS SUCH AS
THOSE MEASURING AIR AND NOISE POLLUTION OR TRAFFIC
FLOW. THIS MEANS THAT EVERY CITY CAN BE MONITORED
IN A WAY THAT PERFECTLY MEETS ITS CURRENT AND FUTURE
NEEDS. THE POSSIBILITIES ARE REALLY ONLY LIMITED BY
YOUR IMAGINATION.
URBAN AND
ENVIRONMENTAL
MONITORING

TRAFFIC FLOW
Traffic is an issue in every city, town, and village. Especially in more dense urban
areas, the number of vehicles on the road can prove to be rather difficult to manage.
SYNAPSE enables the incorporation of traffic sensors that detect real-time traffic
volume, road occupancy, and average travel speed of vehicles by road or lane. The
sensors can also categorise vehicles by size and speed. The collected data can help
cities manage road capacity and urban access as well as enable citizens to plan
journeys based on current traffic conditions.
PARKING MADE EASY
Finding a parking space can be frustrating and results in a higher expenditure of fuel
and, therefore, more pollution. SYNAPSE smart parking sensors are installed directly
on the surface of parking spaces to detect the presence of vehicles using magnetic
sensing. They provide real-time data about which parking spaces are full and which are
empty. This data, used in conjunction with a smart parking app, allows drivers to locate
empty spaces easily and quickly, saving time, reducing stress, and minimising pollution.
URBAN MANAGEMENT
SYNAPSE also allows for the incorporation of sensors that measure things other than
what is happening on the road. Core to the development of Smart Cities is the ability
to easily and intelligently manage day-to-day activities like resource consumption
and waste control. SYNAPSE provides a perfect platform for inclusion of smart utility
metering such as the measuring of industrial, commercial, and domestic electricity,
water, and gas usage. Sensors can also be used that measure when dumpsters are
full to notify the waste removal services.
AIR QUALITY
Approximately 80 % of our cities have higher levels of air pollution than acceptable
and air pollution is now considered the single biggest environmental health risk.
Air pollution consists of various things such as car and industrial fumes, and dust
(particle matter). SYNAPSE can incorporate air quality sensors that measure carbon
monoxide and dioxide, ozone, nitric oxides, sulphuric gases, ammonia, methane and
other combustible gases, hydrogen and hydrocarbons, chlorine, and particle matter.
NOISE POLLUTION
Urban noise pollution is caused by traffic, industry, commercial activity, social
events, construction, and households. It negatively affects health, personal and
social wellbeing, and wildlife in various ways. SYNAPSE enables the incorporation
of noise sensors anywhere along the lighting infrastructure, thanks to which the
city can have more in-depth and easily accessible real-time data that highlights
areas of concern, based upon which effective noise reduction strategies and public
information initiatives can be put in place.
WEATHER
The weather has a profound effect on the day-to-day running of our lives and our
urban environments. SYNAPSE helps you stay on top of the elements by knowing
what is happening where, and aids in planning for what is coming. Select from sensors
that measure ambient temperature, humidity, wind, and atmospheric pressure.
WATER QUALITY
SYNAPSE allows for the connection of sensors that harvest information also
about water quality across industrial and utility networks. The collected data can
be integrated with geographical data about topography, public infrastructure,
and population. Sensors can measure pH, dissolved oxygen, oxidation-reduction
potential, conductivity (salinity), turbidity, temperature, as well as a comprehensive
range of dissolved ions.
SOIL QUALITY
Why not add to your repetoire soil management, whether for urban gardens and
parks, agricultural use, or regulation of private properties such as golf courses.
SYNAPSE connects with sensors that harvest data about soil moisture levels and
temperature, ambient temperature, humidity, atmospheric pressure, and wind.
HAZARDS & EMERGENCIES
SYNAPSE helps you prepare for the unexpected using a range of sensors to
measure electromaganetic radiation, snow levels, water levels, gas leaks, and the
structural integrity of buildings. There are also sensors for more extreme cases
including fire, the presence of explosive or hazardous gases, radiation, and even
seismic activity.
Sensing the city

NOW YOU HAVE THE SYSTEM SET UP, YOU NEED TO DO
SOMETHING WITH ALL THAT COLLECTED DATA. THE KEY IS
THE ABILITY TO ANALYSE AND RESPOND TO IT, AND THAT
IS WHERE CLOUD-BASED SOFTWARE COMES INTO PLAY.

ANALYTICS
software
SYNAPSE ANALYTICS
The SYNAPSE ANALYTICS software is built to manage street lighting systems
comprised of a virtually unlimited number of luminaires. The graphical user interface
(GUI) is intuitive and interactive and provides powerful management and reporting
tools covering device status, real-time error reporting, and advanced maintenance
scheduling. It is possible to group, adjust, and update actions through a "bulk
operation" interface, which makes it incredibly easy to manage large numbers of
luminaires, luminaire groups, schedules, and actions.
SYNAPSE ANALYTICS can connect with and control a wide variety of open protocol
sensors and actuators from any manufacturer, making it an ideal platform for Smart
City management.

INTEROPERABLE
SYNAPSE is built around the open LoRa™
protocol not only because it is the most
flexible, effective, and cost-conscious communication method available, but also
because it allows for easy integration with other city management and asset
management systems using non-proprietary hardware. SYNAPSE ANALYTICS is
compatible with various communication technologies and offers dedicated API for
connection to existing city management platforms.
ALWAYS ACCESSIBLE
The SYNAPSE software is cloud-based, meaning it can be securely accessed from any
smart device using robust authentification. This allows for both centralised control
as well as access by engineers and administrators on the move.
SECURE & BACKED UP
SYNAPSE understands that as we become more connected, we also become more
vulnerable. As SYNAPSE exists in the cloud, it isn't anywhere but everywhere, and
the city administrator always has full control of the software and hardware with
advanced, multi-level AES 128-bit SSL encryption keys and dedicated high-security
memory microchips for their storage. What's more, SYNAPSE automatically backs
up data so nothing is ever lost. In the event of a problem, data and functionality are
restored easily and quickly.
A WEALTH OF INFORMATION
SYNAPSE ANALYTICS effectively gathers and analyses as much information as you
choose to connect it to. No matter how many sensors you wish to use, the software
can adapt and grow to meet your needs.
CREATE YOUR OWN IoT INFRASTRUCTURE
You can choose to use an existing LoRaWAN™
providers or develop your own RF
infrastructure. Having your own dedicated LoRaWAN™
infrastructure for street
lighting control gives you the possibility to easily use it for many other long range,
low power IoT applications.

MAP & DEVICE SELECTION
The top level of the software can be shown as a satellite
map of the whole system or as a map/dashboard for
a selected luminaire, lighting panel, or node (shown
right) within which there can be an infinite number
of tabs. The dashboard can be customised by the
organisation and even by individual users in order to
provide the best and most effective user experience.
The information box on the right of the map allows
for the execution of commands and offers information
about the selected device.
The left side of the screen shows a menu divided into
three parts: groups, lighting panels, and notifications.
DEVICE PARAMETERS
Based on custom configuration, the system can send
instant or automated information about device status,
last given command, and various electrical paramters:
W, V, current, PF, apparent energy, apparent power, on
time, and others.
DEVICE OVERVIEW
When a particular luminaire is selected, a number
of tabs appear. The first is the Overview tab, which
displays information about the device and several
basic device readings.
In addition to the Overview tab are several other tabs
showing device notifications and providing access
to charts, reports, and configuration and scheduling
options.
DEVICE ENERGY CONSUMPTION
The real-time energy parameters of each device can
be visualised as easy-to-understand charts. It is also
possible to select relevant data from the past and to
create reports covering a defined span of time.
DEVICE PROPERTIES
When selecting the Properties tab for a selected
luminaire, you can see real-time information about the
properties and configuation of the device. Access to
the the configuration is password protected.
SCHEDULE EVENT LIST
Each LoRa™
device may act according to an individually
configured schedule containing a series of time-
specific events. If the device belongs to a group, it will
act acording to group-defined schedule events.
Each schedule can be named. Selection of the named
schedules provides a history of scheduled commands.

* LoRa™
is a long range, low power radio frequency communication platform. It's robustness and spectrum
spread features are supported by easy interoperability and advanced security.

NODES
Acting as the neurons of the city's central nervous system, Nodes are incorporated
into individual light points to harvest data about the luminaires (real-time power
consumption, temperature, device status) and the environment (air quality, ambient
conditions, traffic and parking, utilities consumption, waste status, and more). The
data harvested by the Nodes is used for local, precision control of the lighting ac-
cording to real-time need.
SYNAPSE LIGHTING PANEL CONTROL & MONITORING MODULE
The SYNAPSE Lighting Panel Control & Monitoring Module serves as a Node on the
electrical grid to monitor and control its basic parameters and functions. It is installed
in distribution boxes and carries out autonomous measurement and analysis of
various parameters including periodical load curve and energy consumption reports.
Thanks to these measurements and their analysis, all device errors and malfunctions
are reported to SYNAPSE ANALYTICS in real-time.
GATEWAY
Data harvested by the Nodes is sent to the SYNAPSE Gateway. Here the data is collated
into packages and sent to the SYNAPSE Network Server and SYNAPSE ANALYTICS.
SYNAPSE NETWORK SERVER
The SYNAPSE Network Server manages every element of the network (Nodes and
Gateways) for optimised, failsafe operation. It allows for integration with other
applications and solutions while securing and protecting the network integrity.
SYNAPSE ANALYTICS SOFTWARE
Located on the SYNAPSE Network Server, SYNAPSE ANALYTICS receives all data and
transforms it into useful information. What's so special about SYNAPSE ANALYTICS
is that it learns and adapts to your city by recognising short-term and long-term
trends in activity and action, which it uses to fine-tune its control of the lighting and
other functions. It also recognises new devices and updates its software automati-
cally, meaning it is always ready for action.

SYNAPSE STREET LIGHTING AND CITY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM 32/33

CUSTOMISABLE OPEN PLATFORM
SYNAPSE is built on an open networking platform that means it can be connected
easily to other systems and bodies such as the emergency services for automatic
alerting when unusual activity is detected, or waste disposal services for removal of
waste and garbage as needed. In this way, you not only respond to your city, your
city responds to you.
SMART CITY IoT PLATFORM
Almost 6.5 billion Internet of Things devices were already connected by the end of
2015, and 50 billion are estimated to be connected by the end of 2020. LoRaWAN™
uses license-free RF frequency ranges and is capable of connecting thousands of
devices over long range, making the building of local, regional, and even global IoT
networks easier and more cost-efficient than ever.
WORLDWIDE COMPATIBILITY
Combined with the new roaming protocols, LoRaWAN™
uses a wide spectrum of
radio frequencies – 433MHz, 868MHz, 915MHz, 923MHz – to guarantee worldwide
compatibility for LoRaWAN™
networks and applications.
SMART METERING & UTILITIES
Electricity, water, and gas suppliers can benefit from real-time knowledge of the
network’s parameters. This supports the reduction of repair times and maintenance
costs by enabling more efficient response to malfunctions, tampering, or other
events. Automatic meter reading and customer invoicing, and remote supply flow
control minimise grid losses and so further decrease operational costs. The result is
better service to customers.
PERSONAL SAFETY
Smart Cities can use LoRaWAN™
to connect any LoRa™
device, whether it be part
of a bicycle or car, or even part of a medical device. This makes it possible to do
everything from tracking stolen vehicles to advanced medical monitoring and remote
diagnostics. LoRa™
devices are battery operated and can connect and send data for
up to 10 years without battery replacement.
VENDOR-FREE INTEGRATION
LoRaWAN™
allows for unrestricted and vendor-free integration of sensors, actuators,
and applications. It is possible to install any compatible Node within a SYNAPSE
