Events based advanced control strategy for urban street lighting

An event based advanced control strategy of the urban artificial street lighting is presented in this paper. It takes into account different degrees of visibility due to meteorological conditions and the traffic flow, in a direct relation with the day-night cycle of human activity. A Petri Nets based model was developed to describe the behavior of the controlled system. For experimental purposes, real working conditions were simulated as close as possible at a laboratory scale and the control functions were implemented and verified. The energy consumption was computed, the obtained results proving significant power savings.
