From sound the right light amount on the streets
The Trails remote-control system, combining sound analysis with artificial intelligence, adjusts lighting based on what’s actually happening on the street. The result: energy consumption cut by over 50% on average, in full compliance with GDPR.

Adaptive Lighting
The evolution of adaptive lighting through sound analysis and artificial intelligence
Adaptive lighting is governed by a European standard (UNI 11248 / EN 13201), which allows street lamp intensity to be adjusted to traffic conditions (TAI) and environmental conditions (FAI). Trails is the world’s first system to apply traffic adaptive lighting, selective and pervasive, through distributed, intelligent sound analysis.
Traditional static lighting
Lamps are switched on, off, and dimmed according to fixed schedules.
- Lighting adjustments are independent of real traffic conditions;
- Lighting adjustments may not comply with regulations;
- The lighting system does not account for conditions such as rain, fog, or empty streets;
- Suboptimal use of the system in terms of energy efficiency.
Trails Adaptive Lighting
Every lamp responds to its soundscape environment, generating maximum distributed energy savings.
- Adjusts lighting in real time based on recognizing street sounds;
- The lighting system detects and classifies events such as rain, wind, traffic, emergencies, and empty streets;
- Automatically adapts brightness to environmental conditions;
- Complies with current European standards (UNI 11248 / EN 13201).
Solutions
Trails: the adaptive lighting system powered by distributed intelligent sound analysis
It turns every streetlight into a smart sensor that uses artificial intelligence to analyze and classify street sounds. It recognizes traffic type and volume and weather conditions, and adjusts light intensity in real time, in full compliance with the UNI 11248 standard.
Solutions
Trails City Platform: real-world data from your territory in a single dashboard
Trails City Platform is more than a remote-control platform for street lighting, it’s also a distributed data source for the community. It lets you configure every light point, receive alerts on anomalies and faults, and generate automatic analysis and reports based on data collected from Trails devices installed across your territory.
Applications
Professional lighting control for every context
Every context has different needs. Trails remote-control systems adapt perfectly to the characteristics of urban and rural roads, tunnels, and private settings, from industrial sites to Smart Cities.
Public street lighting
For municipalities, ESCos, and public facility operators. The origin of Trails’ innovation and its main large-scale application, with a growing number of active installations and documented results.
Smart City
Our adaptive lighting system, thanks to sensors on every lamp, classifies events and territorial data with full coverage while fully respecting privacy, turning existing lighting systems “smart.”
Tunnels
For road infrastructure concessionaires and operators. We offer specific solutions for tunnel lighting management, with automatic adjustment based on externally measured luminance.
Industrial lighting
For warehouses, storage facilities, logistics areas, and production plants of every kind. Trails remote-control systems apply to industrial lighting with efficiency logic that adapts to different operational and safety conditions.
Projects
Sound results, the real adaptive system application.
Sound analysis for smarter cities, more efficient systems
Our systems offer concrete benefits for the public authority that manages the territory and the operator that maintains the systems.
For your City
- Energy savings
Consumption reduced by over 50% on average, documented and verifiable. Lower energy bills, freeing up resources for other services to citizens.
- A complete, always-available system history
Every system state and adjustment is documented and available for review, in compliance with adaptive lighting regulations.
- Reduced CO2 emissions and waste
Less unnecessary light means lower CO2 emissions. On average, each device installed offsets as much CO2 as 2 trees, plus more than 60 kWh per year, on average, per resident.
- Greater road safety
Our systems recognize weather disturbances and critical situations signalled by sirens in real time, enabling lighting to adapt as required by regulations.
- Traffic planning
Every light point collects real data on vehicle flows. This information is available on the platform and can enrich and feed into the local Urban Traffic Plan.
For your System
- Your investment pays back sooner
Real average savings of over 50%, shortening investment payback times. Fewer years of waiting, less financial risk, thanks to greater efficiency and longer-lasting light fixtures.
- Fewer unnecessary call-outs
Remote control on every light point pinpoints the exact fault, eliminating the generic alerts that currently generate unnecessary costs and call-outs.
- Plug & Play installation
Trails devices mount easily onto existing LED streetlights with standard ZHAGA or NEMA connectors.
- Real-time data
Flows, consumption, and anomalies monitored from a single dashboard, accessible from any device. Historical data are always available.
- Surrounding soundscape
It extracts event statistics and vehicle counts, adjusts brightness based on what’s happening real-time on the streets, and cuts energy consumption by over 50% on average always respecting the European GDPR and in general citizen privacy.
Turn your lighting infrastructure into an adaptive system
We have the solution to turn the lighting infrastructure into an adaptive system that self-regulates dimming and other functions based on the surrounding soundscape and also collects statistics and parameters across your entire site extension.
