Model State Law for Street and Highway Lighting

Automatic Control System for Highway Tunnel Lighting

In order to solve the problems of large energy consumption existing in tunnel lighting control system, an automatic control system of tunnel lighting is designed based on stepless control method. The tunnel lighting control model is established based on “Specifications for Design of Ventilation and Lighting of Highway Tunnel (China)”. Simulation of tunnel lighting control based on the establish...

Street Lighting Disturbs Commuting Bats

Anthropogenic disturbance is a major cause of worldwide declines in biodiversity. Understanding the implications of this disturbance for species and populations is crucial for conservation biologists wishing to mitigate negative effects. Anthropogenic light pollution is an increasing global problem, affecting ecological interactions across a range of taxa and impacting negatively upon critical ...

Sustainable Street Lighting Design Supported by Hypergraph-Based Computational Model

Street lighting systems are significant energy consumers in urban environments. The important step toward the reduction of this energy consumption and, thus, finding a balance between functional requirements and savings-related demands, was introducing LED-based light sources. There still exists, however, a margin for further savings, which is associated with well-tailored designs of road light...

Discussion of "Electrocution by Street Lighting".

A Distributed Highway Velocity Model for Traffic State Reconstruction

This article is motivated by the practical problem of highway traffic estimation using velocity measurements from GPS enabled mobile devices such as cell phones. In order to simplify the estimation procedure, a velocity model for highway traffic is constructed, which results in a dynamical system in which observation the operator is linear. This article presents a new scalar hyperbolic partial ...
