3 main elements
Lamp module
CPU in switchboard
PC-software
www.transportlearning.net
Example- Graz
electricity costs 1,1 Mio Euro
4200 operating hours
reduction of 10 minutes a day
-> -1,5% energy costs
www.transportlearning.net
TRAFFIC SIGNALS
incandescent lamp 75W
mass replacement 2x/year
LED 10W
replacement every two years
reduction of electricity costs -50%
reduction of maintenance costs - 30%

Example- Stockholm
530 signal control points
investment 6 Mio Euro
electricity savings
-> 471.000 Euro/ year
maintenance savings
-> 243.000 Euro/ year

CHRISTMAS LIGHTING
LED lights offer significant energy savings
investment costs are high
life cycle costs to be calculated individually
affects the expected traditional appearence
-> a matter of taste
www.transportlearning.net
Example- Graz
maintenance 130.000 Euro/ year
energy consumption 93.000 kWh
400 operating hours
reducing 2 hours/ day
-> -3.000 Euro
www.transportlearning.net
PARKING METERS
Solar powered meters
no grid interconnection necessary
panels can be in total shadow
operates with a 12 V battery
typical consumption (100 tickets a day)
-> 2 kWh/ year
www.transportlearning.net
Example- Erlangen
70 solar powered parking meters
connected to center via GSM
savings result from eliminating the costs
for grid interconnection

PROJECT DEVELOPMENT
Barriers
Specific features
Implementation
Financing
www.transportlearning.net
Barriers
Complex matter
Little information
Vast range of products
Single measures without integral concept
Many regulation, legal requirements
Restricted funding possibilities
www.transportlearning.net
Implementation
check of energy bills and maintenance costs
survey of existing equipment
Financial model
Presentation of analysis to municipality
Development of an integral long term concept
Project planning and tendering
Monitoring of savings
Documentation
www.transportlearning.net
Financing
dependent on monetary situation of the municipality
different possibilities
Cash settlement
Leasing
Contracting
main argument is indebtedness of municipalities/
Maastricht-criteria
www.transportlearning.net
Leasing
No initial investment
Quick cash by means of sale and lease back
No contribution to Maastricht- limit
Agreements are expensive
Suited for bigger investments
No outsourcing of maintenance, risk,
No guaranteed savings
