Introduction
In the era of smart cities and enhanced urban infrastructure, innovative solutions are essential for improving public safety and user convenience. The Geo-QR Code Tag on Smart Lamp Post is a cutting-edge development designed to integrate technology with everyday urban elements. This solution features a dual-function tag equipped with both a passive Near Field Communication (NFC) tag and a Quick Response Code (Geo-QR Code), installed on lamp posts at a convenient height of approximately 1.3 meters. This technology aims to provide users with precise location information and easy access to geographical data, enhancing navigation and safety in public spaces.

The challenge
Urban environments often present challenges in terms of navigation, safety, and accessibility to relevant information. Traditional methods of providing location-based services can be cumbersome and inefficient, particularly in emergency situations or when users need quick access to nearby geographical details. There was a clear need for a more intuitive and integrated solution that could offer real-time positioning data and facilitate various location-based applications seamlessly.
Solution
Smart Lamp Post
The Geo-QR Code Tag on Smart Lamp Post addresses these challenges with an innovative approach. Each tag combines a passive NFC element and a Geo-QR Code, allowing users to access accurate positioning information and geographical details with ease. The NFC tag provides secure and reliable positioning data, while the Geo-QR Code offers a platform for accessing local information such as emergency reporting and check-ins. By being strategically placed on lamp posts facing pedestrian walkways, this solution ensures high visibility and accessibility for all users, enhancing their overall experience and safety.
