LITE-ON to Showcase AI-powered Smart Street Light Solution at 2019 CES

Smart Mobility Ushers in Connectivity Revolution

LAS VEGAS–(BUSINESS WIRE)–New technological advancements are turning smart street lights into
AI-empowered traffic controllers! LITE-ON Technology (TWSE:2301)
announced that the company’s AI-enabled smart street light solution has
seen its first implementation in Southeast Asia, where streets
experience high traffic volumes throughout the day and drivers are prone
to traffic violations. Since its debut, the solution has alleviated the
workload related to ticketing for the city. With the average of 3,000
traffic citations issued every day in the region, ticketing used to be
highly labor-intensive. However, the solution “shortens the handling
time from one day to three hours, while drastically improving the
accuracy for identifying violations,” said David Yeh, General Manager of
Leotek, Smart Life and Applications Strategic Business Group, LITE-ON
Technology Corp.

In view of the pressing challenges, LITE-ON exhibits technologies under
the theme of “Smart Mobility: The Connectivity Revolution” at CES
2019. The company features innovative solutions in Urban Mobility,
Automotive Electronics and Smart IoT, with the
AI-instilled smart street light and traffic management solution being
the key focus of the first category.

Connected, AI-Powered Street Light Applications Brighten the Future
of Traffic Management

To relieve traffic congestion, many cities in Southeast Asia have
adopted a series of measures over the years, including setting up
high-occupancy and bus-only lanes, but to little avail, David Yeh noted.
The jeepneys that roam the city streets, for instance, constantly pull
over at some random points in the road to compete for passengers, posing
risks to road safety. Integrating with street lights and surveillance
cameras, LITE-ON’s AI-enabled smart street light solution also leverages
local communication and system operators to facilitate the city’s
traffic management. High-violation periods and high-accident zones are
identified to optimize decisions for dispatching patrol officers and
lowering human judgment errors.

The company will also demonstrate traffic signals that recognize elderly
and infirm pedestrians at CES. Embedded with ultra-precise sensing
technology, these signals discern disabled pedestrians using wheelchairs
and automatically increase the green-light duration without any human
intervention. Also on display will be wireless communication modules
based on LPWAN technology, an essential piece for the IoT, as well as
smart surveillance cameras supporting LoRa, Zigbee, Sigfox or NB-IoT
protocols.

In-House Vertical Integration of Smart Connected Lighting Solution

This year, LITE-ON has partnered with Taiwan’s top-tier research
university Tsinghua University to implement its first
vertically-integrated connected lighting solution on Tsinghua’s campus.
The projects incorporate in-house Wi-Fi AP, surveillance cameras, light
poles and wireless communication technology.

“Campus security is at the core of the connected lighting solution’s
add-on applications. With the impeccable Wi-Fi performance,
image-processing algorithm and in-house design, LITE-ON’s surveillance
cameras can endure uncertainties of outdoor environment and perform
seamlessly by generating stable videos for analytics use,” said Allen
Hsu, General Manager of Video Surveillance Strategic Business Group,
LITE-ON Technology Corp.

LITE-ON brings together latest IoT technologies of the group to showcase
solutions that support cloud implementations as well as streamline the
flows of people and information. The company aims to engage with more
businesses and governments and strives to be their essential partner in
the connected era.
