Forget the lights and paved roads, we don't have any of those here in India. On the upside, you get free Off-road experience to your destination everytime.
You do not need street lights outside the city. Those street lights are so bright that even in dim state it seems like day. For example low class road in Czech Republic. Easy to see road far away without street lights. (ignore dangerous driving) ua-cam.com/video/0o0u3voDS3Y/v-deo.html
yeah i have to agree, the idea might make sense for walkways and maybe in low traffic city streets but why would you ever light a highway, huge waste of energy and its debatable if it makes it safer.
We had a similar system a number of years ago here in Qc Canada, but the technology was poor and they didn't function well. I'm pleased to see they've been improved.
Bjørn - Yes, I have a license, but in the semi-rural UK where I live, we have nowhere near that many lights on roads like that. It just seems a bit over the top / wasteful.
Sweden does the same with no street lights for a lot of larger roads, except at intersections, and at least for me personally, it feels at lot more tiring to drive without street lights in pitch dark, with the road only illuminated by your headlights. Having a constant level of illumination on the road no matter how far ahead of the car you look, is a lot more comfortable for the eyes and means you can react a lot sooner to things in the road.
well jools2323 if there was more darkness in a day in uk than light (about 6 mohnts) there might be more lights in there too sun comes out between 8,00-10,00 and darkness comes 16,00-18,00 and that road coud be very busy those times
Fascinating. As others have commented, it is rare in the U.S. to have many or any street lights on rural roads except at intersections. But Norway has very long nights for much of the year, and apparently electricity is relatively inexpensive. Thanks for showing us this.
Live in a small town called Blackstone, we got street lights on one side of road on middle of town and some further parts of main street where i live. even town next door that is smaller has some street lights at least half mile from intersection.
Technology put to great use! Thanks for sharing. BTW I like your videos. They are natural and entertaining. Need to mention the "Off-roading on an ice-covered woods in Tesla M X" and "What happens when your Tesla runs out of juice" videos. I guess those videos would have helped many Tesla owners.
At no additional cost you could make this even one notch cooler... If the motion sensors detect a vehicle stopped in a traffic lane, it could flash the street lights a hundred meters on either side as an advance alert to oncoming drivers. On a divided highway, they could flash in response to a wrong-way driver. Once you start brainstorming the possibilities go on and on.
A couple of the lights did not turn on before you got to it, but for the most part they were not noticeable. I would think this would be great for rural areas needing extra lights
That's a really cool idea and seems to work well. It also warns other roads users in advance that a vehicle is coming. Perhaps someone who may be walking or cycling (some people do this at night) this could warn them that a car is coming. Or would the lights get brighter for a person walking or a bicycle? Interesting.
Reminds me of an old PC-game from the early 90's where you'd pilot a space ship thru the city, and when you got close to light poles (like these ones) they lit up and gave you energy (to travel further). It was hard, but cool. Can't remember the name, have it on CD somewhere.
They look plenty bright enough even at the lower lighting level. Why do they need so many street lights in such a secluded area? Around here, there are usually only street lights at intersections.
Who could thumbs down this video?? Great quality video of said title, more information than expected explained by an engineer, good quality sound, no stupid intro and even if his music didn't suit my taste it was perfectly non-intrusive. This guy is a modest pro. I don't own a Tesla, and most likely never will but I'm subscribing. Good work
Usual US attitude thinking you are at the top. Nordic EU countries by their living standards are way above you, Norway even tops USA in GDP per capita. There is nothing unnecessary about this tech like is highlighted by the video. About infrastructure, even your president multiple times during his campaign said your infra is poor.
It's a pilot project. Of course we have people calculating on this stuff before installing it but it's still just a pilot to see if real world data and usage lives up to it's promise. Scandinavian counties haven't gotten to were they are by being comfortable with how things always been. We are making progress and improving because we try to come up with new and better things. You know all 5 Scandinavian countries are in top10 highest standards of living in the world while US sitting on place 19. We are not really having US as our role model.
Awesome video, nice to see these kinds of smart infrastructure projects becoming more widespread, although I think they should dim to 10%, 20% still seems pretty bright. In the future, with vehicle to infrastructure technologies hopefully smart street lights will be more common. As other people have said, please tell us which songs you used... It would be nice if you always credited the music you use by the way :)
@Bjorn, great segment! Would love to see more clips like this and the EV ferry! After the ferry episode, I checked it out and turns out it has a Western Canada connection! Is there any more information on a site somewhere, would really like to forward it to our Transportation ministry. Would be great here too!
The company behind the batteries of the ferry is from Richmond, British Columbia. Living in the same province, I had never heard of the company or their technically.
Desde Venezuela, el país con las mayores reservas petroleras, pero con una pésima calidad de vida. Al ver estos avances en otros países, no me queda más que decir, que ustedes han sido bendecidos con las personas que hacen posible este tipo de bienestar.
I have not driven there, but I think maby 5-10 lamp posts should light upat the same time in front of the car so that you can see a lot furter infront of the car. And then it does not need to be radars on every light post just a receiver and they save even more money i think. And great video as allways Bjørn!
You have a good point Niklas. From this angle it looks like it only lights up just in front of the car. From above we would see it lights up more than 100 meters before the car, which is good when travelling at 60km/h. For roads with higher speed limits more lamps are lit ahead.
This is awesome. I would like them to turn off a couple of seconds faster. More savings and still safe enough in my opinion. We have this in Finland too, although only on some bike lanes. :)
They should not use radar, but just regular proximity sensors on nearby posts: so, when post 1 detects traffic, it sends a signal to a couple of poles ahead, so they can start incnreasingn light strength. That way they should be able to use cheaper hardware. Also would be good if the light adjustment was smoother.
My knee-jerk is that this is a good idea in theory, but an impractical, potentially more costly idea in practice. More complexity necessarily introduces more chance for failure (public safety at risk, which equals social cost) as well as more cost and time to maintain (these require specialized knowledge, creates vendor lock-in for more difficult to manufacture parts, etc.). All that has to be weighed against the upsides (energy savings, less light-pollution).
I mean with the lights placed so close together with such an even spread they could probably be left at 20% power all the time. I could see systems like this having a far more dramatic effect on roads with less lights.
In germany they installed a solar powerd street light. This light is only for pedestrians and bicycles but the idea is great. The light operates with low energy and when the radar detects someone, it goes full power. Also there is a solar panel and some batteries to function autonom. Not everywhere you can install a energy cable or it costs to much. For someone who understans german, here the video: ua-cam.com/video/3s93WSXIsFY/v-deo.html
It only saves energy if doing that doesn't burn out the ballasts in the lamps after a few months. I worked in an office where they did that, got new energy saving lights with motion sensors and set the lights to 5 minute intervals and most of the ballasts burnt out within a year because they were going on and off all the time. The best thing to do is just to turn them off between 10PM and 6AM. Its what some local authorities have started doing in England. Its a waste to run all these street lights at night. Cars have headlights.
That's pretty cool. I knew it was likely that some places did this but this is the first time I've actually seen it. Ever since my town in MA replaced the sodium vapor lamps with LEDs some people have been complaining that the light coming into their homes is brighter. This could be a problem if your house is somehow really close to a street light. I'm sure a lot of energy has been saved and hopefully light pollution has gone done a little bit because the lamps now face completely downward. But I wonder if the potential decrease in light pollution may not be as large because of the extra illumination being reflected off the ground, especially when there's snow on the ground during the winter. A simple solution would be to have the lights turn on only when a vehicle is coming, or have them very dim most of the time and get brighter when a vehicle drives by. I've been wondering how this would be implemented, and it seems radar is the most likely.
Comlight reduces the output to 20% when there is no traffic. If you turn LEDs off completelly for each car the life expectancy of lamps reduces drastically.
Pedestrians down to 2 km/h shall be detected as long as they pass through the detection area. The Detection area is covering from one side of the road to the other, but not all the space between the poles.
Fabio Im beh non ho letto, ho pensato che il radar può essere calibrato proprio come si calibrano i sensori antifurto. La tecnologia è simile. Penso che sia poco applicabile in Italia poiché la densità abitativa è più elevata rispetto alla Norvegia e quindi i risultati possono essere minimi. Una soluzione è il solo passaggio ai led.
The last music, it can't possibly be very short. Unless you edited it to be that short. And if you do, the editing was perfect. Please give me the name of the audio tracks used in this video. Thanks!
Just a thought, does the return on investment change in different meridian zones? As in will the ROI be different in northern Canada as opposed to south Mexico? Or maybe, is there a meridian latitude that this would save more energy over time?
Is it worth the complexity and all cost that comes with maintainance (and cost of the whole system in first place)...just asking, not a criticism. Wouldn't make sense to just run LEDs at like somewhere (fixed power, set at instalation/purchase) between 20-60% (i pulled that number out of my...thin air) all the time?
To install a radar takes only a few minutes and the cost is not high. With the radars installed you can provide 100% lights when needed (for safety reasons) and turn them down to 20% to reduce consumption of electricity and hence costs while also reduce the pollution of light.
Hello, Nice video Bjorn. As usual I'd say. I just have a simple advise to give you. Please try and look at the camera when you speak not at the screen.
+salty3005 Hell naw. I have to look at the screen to check exposure, focus, WB, etc. If I had an assistant shooting, I could look at the lens. This is just first world problems anyways.
Cool. I recognize this guy from Tesla forums. Anyway, does anybody know of any overhead, drone footage of this in action? That would be a great angle...
Studies show that safety is not increased by having street lights at all in non populated areas. Without street lights, you can see the road just as well, and people drive more carefully without the false sense of security.
I like that idea, and how bright the environment gets is quick amazing. However those poles look awfully close to each other. I'm sure they could either cut every other one out and maybe put a different diffuser on to make the light wider. Or just space the poles a bit more. Also would this work on animals? always good to see the animal so you don't hit them.
your background music should have been Led Zeppelin "In the Light". Just believe and you can't go wrong In the light you will find the road (You will find the road)
Here in Germany we save even more energy because we don't put lights on our ordinary highways :D
In Russia we even don't have smooth roads so we can save some money for our rich government :D
We got lights on the car lol and if there just like 10 cars there a lot of free light there already
Forget the lights and paved roads, we don't have any of those here in India. On the upside, you get free Off-road experience to your destination everytime.
You do not need street lights outside the city. Those street lights are so bright that even in dim state it seems like day.
For example low class road in Czech Republic. Easy to see road far away without street lights. (ignore dangerous driving)
ua-cam.com/video/0o0u3voDS3Y/v-deo.html
yeah i have to agree, the idea might make sense for walkways and maybe in low traffic city streets but why would you ever light a highway, huge waste of energy and its debatable if it makes it safer.
Great System for regions with low traffic!
Norway looks amazing! In Bulgaria power is saved mostly by not having lights at all.
Unbelievable, in România we barely have lights in city’s and you guys have lights where no one lives :O
+Vlad There are actually lots of houses around there. Watch the timelapse.
Vlad i don't know about you, but in Oradea/Bihor (Romania) we got great infrastructure, excellent roads, good lightning....
i really agree with vlad, The system is great but these roads do not have to be lit that way. only intersections i would say or dangerous turns.
same in Constanta. hahaha!
In Norway they also have people where no one lives!
Just imagine the power and money that could be saved worldwide, if more countries started using this. It's so simple, yet so genius.

Great advance in regulation of illuminate bulb lights using dimmerization on the roads. It's a genial idea. Very interesting. 😊
We had a similar system a number of years ago here in Qc Canada, but the technology was poor and they didn't function well. I'm pleased to see they've been improved.
Why are there so many lights on the road anyway?
Vehicles have headlights & it doesn't look like a particularly residential area..
It's a good idea for where lights are needed though..
Uh, you have a driver's license, right?

Huge difference north and south
Pretty awesome. I wish something like this would be installed in more communities around the world. Could for sure reduce energy consumption.

For a person walking or on a bicycle the radar will detect the slower speed and hold the light for a longer time.
Well Björn, now you just doubled the yearly consumption driving there back and forth :)
Great function though!

Joseph B did you hear Bjorn? He said the electric savings would be greater then the total cost just in 4.5 years.

Norway isn't part of the EU.
But it is at least part of the Schengen Area, which makes it really easy to travel there (from the EU)

its like a video game where it has loaded the level but hasn't updated the lighting yet lol

That must be real expensive for that stretch of road.

That way they should be able to use cheaper hardware. Also would be good if the light adjustment was smoother.
That looks like it would be quite irritating, why don't they make the on/off transition smooth and unnoticeable ?

All that has to be weighed against the upsides (energy savings, less light-pollution).
In regards to safety; if one radar no longer functions, the lamp will automatically be set to 100%.
Thanks for setting off my radar detector even more.
I mean with the lights placed so close together with such an even spread they could probably be left at 20% power all the time. I could see systems like this having a far more dramatic effect on roads with less lights.
Wonderful design, it seems dimming is required more in the market.
What's that, a couple hundred bucks a week? How long would it take to cover the costs of the radars?
In germany they installed a solar powerd street light. This light is only for pedestrians and bicycles but the idea is great. The light operates with low energy and when the radar detects someone, it goes full power. Also there is a solar panel and some batteries to function autonom.

It only saves energy if doing that doesn't burn out the ballasts in the lamps after a few months. I worked in an office where they did that, got new energy saving lights with motion sensors and set the lights to 5 minute intervals and most of the ballasts burnt out within a year because they were going on and off all the time.
The best thing to do is just to turn them off between 10PM and 6AM. Its what some local authorities have started doing in England. Its a waste to run all these street lights at night. Cars have headlights.

What about motorcycles and bicycles? Do they activate the radar if so they are pretty cool
A human didn't seem to activate it. I haven't tested the other types of transportation.
martinstab2 the radar can detect a motorcycle or a bike with an appropriate software.

Good Day Sir! We are making project similar to this one, how do you recommend on creating a scale model project of this one? Thank you!
the name of song in 4:16 please
Great music, always!
Great idea! Unfortunately the US power companies are much too greedy for this idea. It's taken the US in many places a while to adapt to LED's.
Just a thought, does the return on investment change in different meridian zones? As in will the ROI be different in northern Canada as opposed to south Mexico? Or maybe, is there a meridian latitude that this would save more energy over time?
Hi Isac, ROI often depends on cost of electricity and for how many hours the lights are on at night.
you should do a roadtrip with the millennium falcon someday !
He sold MF to pay taxes on OP soon as he got it.
What's the song starting at 2:20?
Is that Ice or salt on the roads - look very white and scary to drive on. But I'm from the UK and now live in NZ I've never driven on winter tyres.
Great video, Bjørn!
The last turn to the right, is that where you did the last scene in the "customer story" video?
+Jarand nope
Is it worth the complexity and all cost that comes with maintainance (and cost of the whole system in first place)...just asking, not a criticism.
Wouldn't make sense to just run LEDs at like somewhere (fixed power, set at instalation/purchase) between 20-60% (i pulled that number out of my...thin air) all the time?
To install a radar takes only a few minutes and the cost is not high. With the radars installed you can provide 100% lights when needed (for safety reasons) and turn them down to 20% to reduce consumption of electricity and hence costs while also reduce the pollution of light.
Interesting tech but why are there so many street lights on a mostly rural tree lined road? Choose street lights carefully.
Love the idea, note that they have an unsafe color temperature.. I would want about 3000K
Hello,
Nice video Bjorn. As usual I'd say.
I just have a simple advise to give you. Please try and look at the camera when you speak not at the screen.
+salty3005 Hell naw. I have to look at the screen to check exposure, focus, WB, etc. If I had an assistant shooting, I could look at the lens. This is just first world problems anyways.
A very good concept that needs implemented everywhere, but why would such a road need street lights at all?
Better safety
They're really not doing anything your headlights won't do, it's wasting energy and causing light pollution.
i wonder how bright it was with bulbs. i guess not even the 20% brightness of the LEDs.
Nice video! How is the second track called?
Great. A very good system. Love u Bjorn.
Wouldn't they save more energy by staying in their "low power" state? The road seems light enough during the eco part imo.
this is excellent, we need this in canada, way to much energy waisted here.
Cool. I recognize this guy from Tesla forums. Anyway, does anybody know of any overhead, drone footage of this in action? That would be a great angle...
Here in the U.S, state of Rhode Island to be precise they've been going bonkers replacing HPS and LPS lights with LED.
Studies show that safety is not increased by having street lights at all in non populated areas.
Without street lights, you can see the road just as well, and people drive more carefully without the false sense of security.
Great music selection!
i don't understand. Why do you need light poles in such regions. Don't cars have headlights for that purpose ?

The radar also detects animals (which we often see roadside in Norway).
I thought the Tesla had that feature in which the car lights dimmed as you approached a street light
Wtf this audio quality is so amazing :o
What do you use for recording audio ?
This is great. We need more smart lighting
Where is this place and city? Plz tell me.. I m doing a school project over this concept 😊😊
The road is just a 40 minutes drive from Oslo, here are the GPS coordinates: 60.021168, 10.262218.
your background music should have been Led Zeppelin "In the Light".
Just believe and you can't go wrong
In the light you will find the road (You will find the road)
In addition to energy savings, the LEDs most likely will last longer :)
