This smart system is based on adaptive lighting, which optimises tunnel lighting without compromising users’ safety. It provides a robust and secure communication network for demanding environments, allowing the inclusion of all necessary variables 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.
Specifications
The system is designed to automatically adjust the lighting based on weather conditions, traffic, external light, etc. Controlux Tunnel adjusts the lighting based on the information it receives from the various installed devices, ensuring optimal visual comfort for drivers and preventing the “tunnel effect.”
Devices responsible for providing information:
- Luminance meter: installed at the tunnel entrance, it monitors external lighting conditions and sends this information to the system.
- Interior lux meter: allows calibration of light depreciation due to dirt inside the tunnel.
- Vehicle detector: collects information on traffic intensity, the number of vehicles and their speed.
- Pluviometer: analyzes the pavement condition through the detection of moisture and rain.
The control system provides real-time information on the status of each luminaire. It allows the collection of data on consumption, failures or incidents with the luminaires, among others. This information optimises management, reducing the need for staff travel and, therefore, associated costs.
The system features an easy-to-use configuration interface that allows modification of the system’s response to various configuration parameters. It enables manual control of the infrastructure as well as integration with all types of SCADA-type supervision and data acquisition platforms.
Controlux Tunnel stands out for its flexible architecture, which adapts and optimises the installed devices according to the specific characteristics of each project. In this way, it perfectly meets the needs of both small underground passages and large road tunnels.
