Remote control and smart management of public lighting in Valle Sabbia

Valle Sabbia is a mountainous area in the province of Brescia characterised by a network of municipalities spread across a complex and morphologically diverse territory. In this context, public lighting management represents a significant challenge, requiring reliable, scalable solutions capable of ensuring continuity of service even in non-homogeneous operating conditions.

Launched in 2021, the Valle Sabbia public lighting remote control project was created with the aim of centralising, rationalising and making the management of the systems more efficient by introducing advanced monitoring, remote control and consumption measurement tools.

The project is based on the installation of 1100 remote control systems serving public lighting panels, which constitute the central management infrastructure for the entire network. In addition to the centralised management of the panels, the project involved the implementation of a large-scale point-to-point control system, covering a total of over 35,000 lighting points distributed throughout the municipalities of Valle Sabbia.

GPS geolocation is the central element of the architecture. Each light point is equipped with a unique identification and precise geographical location, allowing the creation of a complete and constantly updated digital census of the public lighting infrastructure.

This approach allows for a territorial and dynamic view of the service: the precise location of the devices facilitates intervention planning, reduces maintenance times and improves operational coordination, especially in a mountainous and widespread context such as that of Valle Sabbia.

Remote control of individual light points, integrated with GPS mapping, also provides a solid technological basis for future developments, enabling advanced public lighting monitoring, analysis and optimisation services.
