A town in Germany is testing a new mobile SMS application. Many towns turn off their steet lamps at 11pm to conserve energy, although its not the best idea for pedestrians one town in particular has saved 50.000 euros a year. The mobile application means that towns in Germany can still save energy and get home safely in the dark.
This new service is called Dial4light it means pedestrians can send an SMS to the GSM Modem in the junction box of the streetlight. This mobile application is currently being tested with the public and is yet to be tried on emergency services who could illuniminate the scene, taxi drivers could light the path for their passengers and joggers who could turn on the floodlights at the sports field.
