DIN SPEC 91347:2017-03

This DIN SPEC has been prepared by a workshop (temporary committee) in the course of the PAS procedure. This DIN SPEC has been prepared and adopted by the authors named in the foreword. This DIN SPEC (PAS) describes the "integrated humble lamppost" (imHLa) as an integral part of a municipality's digital infrastructure. It is described as an integrated system made up of individual functional components. Particular emphasis is placed on the efficient use and reuse of these functional components to maximize synergies, particularly for innovative services arising from the digitalization process. New services based on the introduction of functional components as part of the "Internet of Things" (IoT), and the data thus generated, are what make standardization of the multifunctional lampposts so urgent, because current standards only relate to individual functional components, mostly seen in isolation. Standardizing the integration of these functional components involves the following main aspects: - the physical integration of the hardware within the lamppost, and - where technically and economically feasible and necessary - the integration of individual components with each other; - the logical integration of individual functional components, for example for communication and exchanging data; - the economic integration of individual functional components for operational and business models; - the overall integration in urban platforms for implementing smart city objectives and integrated digitalization of urban space. A catalog of terms, a selection of use cases and a classification are also described. This DIN SPEC (PAS) aims to create systematic comparability, because the first products, namely integrated multifunctional lampposts and individual functional components as attachments or fixtures, are already on the market. It relates to public spaces, that is street lighting for which cities and municipalities are responsible. It can also be applied to comparable outdoor lighting on private properties or privately owned public spaces, or anywhere else where a lamppost has been or will be used.
