Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a system and method for controlling the light intensity in a tunnel according to the appended claims.
  • the present illumination system is composed of six main functional blocks as illustrated in Fig. 1 .
  • the core and innovation of the system are in Internal Measures, Controller, and in part in External Measures.
  • the External Measures block includes a set, possibly with a single component, of measurements performed outside the area of controlled illumination, which are related to the specific ambient and scope of the illumination. Such measures can include luminance measurement, traffic measures (for roads), weather and physical environment conditions, etc. Based on these measurements the Reference Definition block computes a reference set point (which is indeed a complex curve function of time and space) for the illumination.
  • the Lamps block is a set of illumination devices. It is possibly heterogeneous and can include natural illumination sources (such as light wells collecting and regulating the flow of sunlight) and artificial illumination sources such as incandescence lamps, LEDs, and in general any light-emitting device.
  • the Actuators block includes means for regulating the light flow of the devices in the Lamps block. Actuation techniques may operate on single illumination devices or groups thereof. Regulation techniques include, but are not limited to: 1) switching on and off illumination devices; 2) changing the driving voltage or current; 3) changing the duty-cycle of current; 4) screening the light source.
  • the Internal Measures block is a complex ensemble of functions which include: 1) measuring one or more of the following quantities: luminance, illumination, temperature, infrared radiation, ultraviolet radiation, reflectivity of walls, floor and ceiling; 2) collecting and transmitting the above measures to one or more collection points called gateways; 3) elaborating and normalizing such information and measures; 4) communicating periodically or asynchronously the measures and information to the Controller.
  • the Controller block is a hardware device with computational capabilities that, based on a suitable algorithm, can regulate the actuators such that the actual illumination parameters as measured by the Internal Measures block do not differ from the said reference set point by more than a predefined quantity.
  • the algorithms used by the Controller may include robust and optimal control theory techniques, heuristic adaptations and neural networks or other artificial intelligence techniques suitable to minimize the residual error between the reference set point and the ac t ual measures.
