Abstract

The mismatch between illumination and traffic safety brightness in tunnels leads to much-wasted lighting energy and safety problems. Effective control of tunnel lighting can be achieved by lighting on demand and reducing lighting energy consumption. This paper uses the curve fitting and linear interpolation methods to optimize the luminance reduction factor K proposed in the Highway Tunnel Lighting Rules. It constructs a multi-zone division of traffic speed, traffic flow, and brightness outside the tunnel to obtain the K value under actual road conditions and to establish a fuzzy controller for dimming control. The simulation demonstrates that the proposed strategy can save about 37.38% of tunnel lighting compared to the graded lighting control strategy.
