CIE x048-WP01 – A HOLISTIC METHOD FOR THE COMMISSIONING AND OPTIMISATION OF ADAPTIVE ROAD LIGHTING SYSTEMS USING LABORATORY AND FIELD MEASUREMENTS

This paper presents a set of field measurements performed at renovated lighting installations equipped with adaptive road lighting systems. The results revealed issues of over-illumination but also insufficient lighting levels that would not be shown without the field measurements. Since the adaptive road lighting systems can regulate the lighting output and should in parallel ensure adequate lighting and safety levels, the commissioning of such system is challenging. In this scope, we are proposing a holistic scheme for the commissioning and optimization of the operation of Adaptive Road Lighting systems taking into account field measurements, technical parameters of the incorporated equipment, and all aspects that may affect its performance. The proposed scheme can be used as a masterplan from the conception of the road lighting up to the validation field measurements and the long-term optimization and maintenance schedule of the installation.
