Adaptive lighting allows tunnel illumination to be optimised without compromising user’s safety. Controlux Tunnel provides a robust and secure communication network for demanding environments, building in all the variables needed for smart infrastructure management.
Key points
Bi-directional system
It allows luminaires to be configured while collecting data on power consumption, status, hours of use, etc., for each luminaire.
Flexible Architecture
Luminaires can be controlled using their own power lines or a separate line.
Automatic
Stand-alone operation based on design and configuration variables that can be modified at any time.
Maintenance
Remote asset management and reprogramming, infrastructure condition monitoring, and lighting point performance data.
Sustainability
A robust system that generates energy savings from day one.
Applications
Tunnels
Roads
Underpasses
Features of Controlux Tunnel
System response configuration using multiple variables:
- L20 Luminance meter. Monitors the lighting conditions perceived by a user, when approaching the tunnel entrance.
- Internal Lux meter. Measures the light loss factor due to dirt in the tunnel.
- Vehicle capacity systems. Allows lighting levels to be adjusted according to average hourly traffic rates.
- Systems for measuring the condition of road surfaces, which has a significant impact on safe stopping distances.
The control system allows a wide range of data to be obtained from the luminaires and sensors, so that the infrastructure can be effectively managed and its condition can be monitored. The system data allows lighting scenarios to be optimised, making the tunnel even more efficient and helping operators to plan maintenance work with precision.
The system has a simple configuration interface that allows to modify its response to different parameters. The infrastructure can be controlled manually and the system can be integrated with all kinds of SCADA platform.
Controlux Tunnel is a solution based on flexible architecture that allows infrastructure management systems to be installed for any level of management. It can be adapted to the scale of any project in order to optimise the equipment installed. It is ideal for infrastructures ranging from small underpasses to major road tunnels.
