Lighting Up Safety and Security in Arisugawa-no-miya Memorial Park

Atlas Embedded Signal Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Osaka, Osaka Prefecture; CEO: Masahiro Iwatani) has installed its "Smart Lighting" in Arisugawa-no-miya Memorial Park in Minato-ku, Tokyo.

This product is a new landscape lighting solution that creates a safe and comfortable walking environment for pedestrians at night without compromising the atmosphere of the historic park.

While considering harmony with the landscape, the lights, emitting from both sides of the park paths, improve nighttime visibility and create a walking space that feels secure.

■ Background of Implementation: Transforming the Night Park from a Place of "Anxiety" to "Tranquility"

Arisugawa-no-miya Memorial Park, beloved as an urban oasis, faced challenges at night as trees often blocked streetlights, causing concerns about "footing instability" and "poor visibility," especially on stone steps and uneven areas.

In recent years, pedestrian safety measures have shifted from just "looking up to check" to being "intuitively recognizable at a natural line of sight." In real-world walking situations, such as walking while using a smartphone, with children, for the elderly, or using an umbrella in the rain, people's gazes are often directed downwards. Therefore, equipment that lights up at foot level to draw attention is gaining prominence as an effective supplement to conventional fixtures.

■ Protecting Pedestrians' "Footing Safety"

The newly installed smart lighting can be introduced even in locations where securing a power source is difficult, achieving long hours of illumination without wiring. It demonstrates stable performance even in environments with little direct sunlight, offering a new "hybrid lighting" option for areas where conventional solar equipment was not feasible.

Furthermore, this product features a unique light that emits as a "surface" rather than a "point." The gentle light illuminates the ground, allowing pedestrians to intuitively grasp the depth of steps and the width of stairs, thereby preventing the risk of missteps by the elderly and children. It creates a new walking space that enhances visual security. Additionally, the product is easy to maintain, with simple repair and replacement. It also serves as disaster prevention infrastructure, combining safety, convenience, and disaster resilience as a next-generation outdoor lighting solution expected to be deployed in various public spaces.

Before and After Installation

■ Installation Location (Before / After)

On the park paths at night before installation, light was obstructed by trees and streetlights were hard to reach, leading to situations where pedestrians used their mobile phone lights to see their way.

■ Environmental Improvement and Positive Impact on the Local Community

This initiative goes beyond mere safety measures. By ensuring brightness at foot level, it improves the overall visibility of the park, contributing to the cultivation of crime prevention awareness and securing a comfortable living environment.

Moreover, it has led to the revitalization of the local community, with users expressing gratitude such as "Thank you for making it bright" and positive feedback on the aesthetics like "The park has become so stylish." Favorable reactions have also been seen from children and their parents.

■ Message from the CEO

"We have honed our LED lighting technology for signals and other applications as a 'light to protect lives.' With this installation at Arisugawa-no-miya Memorial Park, we have evolved that technology into a 'light that colors the landscape and brings peace to the heart.' Our mission is to transform night parks into beautiful places that everyone can enjoy with peace of mind."
