Abstract

In order to solve the unmanned tunnel illumination in remote areas, control system is designed for tunnel lighting. Meanwhile, solar energy is used to solve the energy problem of tunnel lighting. Based on the specific requirements of the highway tunnel, the intelligent control algorithm is designed. On the basis of the algorithm, the intelligent control tunnel lighting system is realized. Control system for tunnel lighting is stable and reliable, unmanned operation can be realized. Practice shows that the intelligent tunnel lighting control system can be successfully applied in remote areas.

Highlights

The research on lighting technology of highway tunnel in foreign countries began early
The intelligent lighting control system can adjust the brightness of the tunnel in real time according to the internal and external environmental characteristics of the tunnel
While ensuring the safety of the tunnel driving, it will prevent the waste of electric energy from the excessive lighting

Summary

Introduction

The research on lighting technology of highway tunnel in foreign countries began early. As early as 1960s, Mont-Blanc tunnel between Italian and French has been illuminated according to the change in traffic volume. The advanced lighting control method is to ensure visual conditions. The majority of the tunnel illumination system adopts the hierarchical automatic control method. There is a certain energy saving effect, there is still a problem of excessive lighting. While ensuring the safety of the tunnel driving, it will prevent the waste of electric energy from the excessive lighting. The intelligent lighting control system can prolong the service life of the lamps and lanterns, and reduce the cost of management and maintenance of the tunnel. Intelligent lighting control system is another development trend of tunnel lighting design in the future
