PULS
In the light of information
PULS is a comprehensive urban smart lighting system designed for tomorrow’s smart cities and communities, formed through the collaboration of three Slovenian companies: GeoEnergetika, d.o.o., Impedanca d.o.o., and Garex d.o.o. PULS is a synthesis of two innovative and complementary components: the e-SMS smart lighting system and the Smart cities management platform. Joined in a single product, these two components allow for broad, localized, and detailed collection of data parameters and, consequently, systematic management of urban environments.
Besides helping communities grow smarter, PULS will also help partners establish themselves in international markets as leading providers of smart solutions. After careful analysis, we decided to focus our marketing efforts on Ireland, due to the presence of numerous smart cities initiatives, the country’s strong development potential, and other favorable factors.
ILLUMINATION AS PERCEPTION
e-SMS was developed by GeoEnergetika d.o.o. and Impedanca d.o.o. (with the co-financing of the Republic of Slovenia and the European Union under the European Regional development fund (ERDF)). It represents a global breakthrough in the area of smart lighting. With its real-time collection of – and reaction to – a wide range of environmental parameters at micro-locations, it fundamentally transcends the capabilities of existing solutions, which limit themselves mainly to illumination regulation. In addition, its esthetically refined shape, high level of integration, and compatibility with existing infrastructure allows for uncomplicated placement in urban areas. e-SMS is therefore an IT-supported, energy efficient, and elegantly designed lighting solution that truly illuminates in all senses of the word: it gives light and creates insights about the environment it is placed in.
The open Smart cities management platform, developed by Garex d.o.o., augments e-SMS by seamlessly integrating it into existing smart ecosystems, while offering the capacity for intelligent regulation and control that are underpinned by machine learning and advanced analytics. In addition to its back-end component which allows for efficient integration of devices and systems from different manufacturers, development is also focused on designing a user-friendly front-end system that will help foster informed decisions through transparent and timely presentation of urban dynamics.

Enlightened localities
Public lighting as the catalyst of smart city management
The environment is inherently local. This means its parameters can vary significantly within relatively short distances. It isn’t uncommon that in larger urban areas the state of the weather or traffic congestion often depends on what neighborhood you find yourself in! A typical example of localized weather is fog, where certain parts of the city can be completely engulfed in mist, while others face no visibility issues whatsoever. And the variability of traffic patterns is well-known to anybody who has ever been stuck in traffic – which is pretty much everybody.
Being able to monitor these variations is important, both for the managers of the city’s infrastructure, as well as to residents and visitors. And this is exactly the point at which PULS, our comprehensive smart lighting system shines. Owing to the mesh-like distribution of public lighting across large urban areas and its ability to gather real-time data at micro-locations, PULS can offer timely information to the relevant city services, as well as the public in order to help improve the quality of city management and well-being.
For example, if elevated levels of humidity that point to the formation of fog are detected, lighting can be selectively dimmed or turned off, thus increasing road safety and realizing additional energy savings. Or, if a significant slowing down of traffic is detected, this information can be used to increase the efficiency of traffic management, establish early detours and help resolve congestions quicker, thereby increasing air quality and reducing harmful emissions. And, because PULS can be paired to advanced machine learning algorithms, with time it can also learn to predict when events are likely to happen and enable city managers to prevent these events pre-emptively. Now, how cool is that?
Grow smarter, manage better – with PULS.
PULS is a joint project between GeoEnergetika, Garex, and Impedanca that is co-financed by the Republic of Slovenia and the European union under the European Regional Development Fund.
