Purpose
Improve streetlight pole identification, public reporting accuracy and field readability without changing existing numbering systems.
Proposal-ready
Utility operations
Field-Visible Streetlight ID
A contained operational evaluation to improve pole identification, public reporting accuracy, field readability and downstream maintenance clarity.

Decision pathProceed, route or close
What the pilot tests
Whether clearer identifiers improve reporting and field operations.
The evaluation is designed to test a field-visible overlay without replacing or renumbering the existing asset-identification system.
Pilot structure
A contained 2,000-pole evaluation using high-contrast reflective overlays and QR-enabled map access within defined operating limits.
Who reviews it
Utility operations, streetlight asset management, public reporting and field maintenance teams.
What gets measured
Reporting accuracy, field readability, location clarity, public-reporting friction and pre/post operational signals.
Review-ready outputs
An operational evaluation built around existing asset systems.
- 2,000-pole evaluation scope
- Identifier and placement standard
- Before-and-after field protocol
- Public-reporting test scenarios
- KPI and observation framework
- Proceed, route or close recommendation
Decision supported
Whether measured improvement justifies proceeding, routing or closing.
