Highways and Streets Smart Lighting and Insurance Reduction | Apollo Metro Solutions

Safer Roads. Lower Operating Costs. Smarter Street Infrastructure.

High-efficiency LED lighting, AI monitoring, and power quality optimization are designed for highways, arterial roads, and city streets.

Situation

Transportation agencies and municipalities face rising energy costs, aging high-pressure sodium streetlights, increasing maintenance demands, and growing public safety expectations. Poor roadway illumination contributes to vehicle incidents, pedestrian accidents, and liability exposure.

At the same time, agencies must manage long corridors of infrastructure with limited visibility into fixture performance, outage status, and energy consumption. Electrical inefficiencies and harmonic distortion from large-scale systems can further increase operational costs.

Public works leaders need infrastructure that improves roadway safety while reducing long-term operating and insurance costs.

Apollo Solution

Apollo deploys high-efficiency LED SmartLight systems integrated with Apollo IQ centralized management and optional harmonic filters to optimize roadway illumination and performance.

  • LED lighting delivers uniform, daylight-quality coverage across lanes, intersections, and shoulders
  • Network Lighting Controller enables remote scheduling and outage diagnostics
  • Apollo IQ provides centralized monitoring, alerts, and reporting
  • Optional harmonic filters reduce electrical distortion and improve system efficiency
  • Embedded cameras can support incident documentation where appropriate

The result is improved road visibility, reduced operating expense, and stronger liability mitigation.

Expected Benefits

Transportation agencies can expect measurable improvements in safety, energy performance, and operational oversight.

  • Up to 62% lower energy consumption from LED conversion
  • Approximately 40% lower maintenance costs
  • 3% to 20% additional energy savings through harmonic filters in
    high-distortion environments
  • Reduced vehicle and pedestrian incident exposure through improved illumination
  • Faster outage detection and repair coordination
  • 5% to 20% property and casualty insurance reduction potential, where applicable

Lighting becomes a roadway safety investment and a measurable energy asset.

“We chose to work with Apollo Metro because they have a light that is far superior to anything else that is currently on the market.”
— John W. Miller, Project Manager, Collier County
