Map of urban lighting

DAVID Holding, one of the companies initiators and members of the Cluster Sofia Knowledge City, has developed a tool (management support system) for the lighting of the city of Sofia.

This is a small but integral step towards the wider application of smart city technologies and digitization of the city. The system was developed between 2014 and 2015 based on Bentley Systems GIS software.

It aims at facilitating the management decisions in the municipality by presenting the actual state of the lighting in Sofia as one of the important elements of the urban environment.

The information is visualized on the Map of urban lighting.

It will analyze infrastructure as an element that matters for various aspects, such as the convenience and security of the population at night, CO costs for electricity, energy consumption, light pollution, and so on. The information on this map is received by the Transportation Infrastructure Directorate of the CA and is up to date in November 2017. The solution gives a realistic assessment of the current state of the public lighting facilities and the need for repairs. The implemented GIS system covers the activities of the whole Transport Infrastructure Directorate, with the help of the Directorates, they make a real assessment of the current state of the public lighting facilities - pillars, lighting fixtures, light sources, electrical panels, both their number, as well as their condition.
