Abstract

The operation of a concurrent lighting system using LED luminaires is based on the detection of individual road users, the recognition of their lighting needs and adjusting the operating state of the individual lighting devices that make up the system to the expectations of each user. The luminaire’s lighting divided into three independently controlled parts allows reducing electrical energy consumption up to 33% in comparison to a conventional concurrent road lighting system.

Highlights

One of the most significant, if not the most significant, tasks that science faces today is reducing greenhouse gas emissions into the atmosphere, dictated by the concern for the environment that is being increasingly degraded, in particular by climate change
One way greenhouse gas emissions are reduced is by decreasing the consumption of electric and thermal energy, especially those produced from fossil fuels [1]
This paper will present the idea of a luminaire that, thanks to the use of modern design tools, allows more efficient energy management, making concurrent lighting systems even more economical and ecological

Summary

Introduction

One of the most significant, if not the most significant, tasks that science faces today is reducing greenhouse gas emissions into the atmosphere, dictated by the concern for the environment that is being increasingly degraded, in particular by climate change. Lighting systems exist that reduce electricity consumption while meeting the lighting needs of users at a sufficiently high level These include all systems based on lowenergy-cost detection of each user and subsequent reduction in illumination in zones where no user is found. We seek to find such distributions that allow us to meet the lighting requirements in an optimal manner, that is, most often with a minimal luminous flux expenditure in the particular boundary conditions of the distribution of light points [13]. This way of designing luminaires allows for far-reaching optimization of the lighting device. This paper will present the idea of a luminaire that, thanks to the use of modern design tools, allows more efficient energy management, making concurrent lighting systems even more economical and ecological
