Adaptive control of public lighting

Abstract

Public lighting is a specific type of lighting system, which various requirements. It is a lighting system which is subject to many influences. Some impacts are changing very rapidly but a lighting system is designed for a specific case. These effects are for example traffic density, conflict situations and the impact of weather. Comprehensive regulation taking into account all the effects not currently exist but particular systems taking into account the subtasks are occuring. Paper describes possible ways to control lighting systems based on current conditions. The aim is to show the possibilities and also the technical prerequisites for the realization of such systems. Described technology is currently in its early stages and pilots projects are preparing. Aim of this paper is give information about technology and open discuss about adaptive public lighting.
