MetroBUS Coimbra
Smart lighting for safer, more efficient mobility
The Mondego Mobility System is a flagship project that promotes more efficient and sustainable connections between Coimbra, Lousã and Miranda do Corvo. Running alongside the Mondego River in Coimbra, it serves important areas such as the city centre, the hospital district, university campuses and major commercial zones.
Led by Metro Mondego, in collaboration with Infraestruturas de Portugal and Coimbra City Council, the project brought together several partners, with Schréder contributing its expertise in smart lighting and connected technologies.
An integrated and connected lighting solution
Schréder delivered an integrated lighting solution comprising approximately 400 TECEO luminaires fitted with warm white LEDs (3,000K), tapered lighting columns and the Schréder EXEDRA remote management platform.
Tailored to the specific requirements of the bus rapid transit (BRT) lanes, stations, pedestrian crossings and junctions, the solution provides uniform illumination, visual comfort and controlled glare. This helps to improve visibility and support safer journeys for all users.

Greater energy efficiency and control
The Schréder EXEDRA platform provides operators with remote control of, and visibility over, the lighting network. They can monitor individual luminaires, track energy consumption, identify faults, and adjust lighting levels to match operating hours and actual requirements.
When combined with LED technology and dimming profiles, this approach delivers estimated energy savings of between 65% and 75% compared to conventional systems. It also helps to reduce CO₂ emissions. Remote monitoring and fault detection make maintenance more efficient by helping operators identify issues and plan interventions.
Supporting a better mobility experience
By combining lighting expertise, robust equipment and smart management, Schréder helps deliver a more efficient and reliable urban mobility infrastructure. The solution gives operators greater control over their lighting assets while helping create safer, more comfortable spaces for the people who use them.
