Better asset management
We are introducing Central Management Systems
(CMS) on TLRN street lights. This system will
allow us to remotely monitor and manage street
lighting, allowing for dynamic control of lighting
levels. This will allow lighting levels to be aligned
better with traffic flows and road use, reducing
energy consumption and carbon emissions
without compromising safety or security. The
system also remotely records failures allowing
maintenance crews to ensure lighting levels
are restored in a timely manner. CMS will
dramatically cut carbon dioxide (CO 2
) emissions
by 9,700 tonnes and save approximately £1.85m
a year. In addition, we are replacing conventional
lighting with light emitting diodes (LED) which are
more energy efficient and last longer.

Enhanced safety features
Improving safety for all street users is a top
priority to ensure London remains an attractive
place in which to live, work and invest. To
reduce the conflict between cyclists and large
vehicles, we have trialled the use of street cycle
safety mirrors (also known as trixi mirrors) to
give drivers of large vehicles better visibility of
cyclists at junctions.
