Installation companies, operators, and lighting system planners must illuminate tunnels uniformly in accordance with CIE88 and control the intensity of the lighting depending on the situation. The traffic volume and emergency situations that may occur have an impact on the correct lighting level. In order to counteract the risk of accidents, especially when vehicles are entering the tunnel, the lighting conditions need to be adjusted sensitively to the increasing darkness.
With the predefined control cabinet solutions, you can configure your entire lighting system quickly and easily, without any programming effort. Combined with the versatile and robust QPD installation system, Tunnel Lighting Advanced ensures fast installation and maintenance procedures. This enables you to extend maintenance intervals and save operating costs.
The intelligent control system ensures the ideal lighting level throughout the entire tunnel by incorporating parameters that affect the light intensity. In addition to the measured luminance at the tunnel entrance, the current traffic speed and traffic density are also taken into account, for example. Since only as much light is generated as is needed at any given time, the energy costs are lower and the service life of the LED lights is longer.
The intelligent controller can constantly adjust the illuminance to specific tunnel conditions such as weather, traffic speed, and traffic density, as well as other sensor inputs.
The control of the activation electronics and LED drivers is predefined in the form of 50 different scenarios. There are also 15 special scenarios that can be prioritized in special situations, for example, in the event of an emergency or a dangerous event.
The diagnostic function featured in Tunnel Lighting Advanced helps you plan predictive maintenance. Potential faults or premature failure of tunnel luminaires are detected with the help of the continuous energy measurement of each individual light point. With just the push of a button, the system learns the current characteristics of the entire tunnel lighting system and can inform the operator in the event of deviations.
Our ready-to-install control cabinet solutions allow you to configure your entire lighting system quickly and easily. The preprogrammed solutions can be integrated flexibly into your existing automation systems. As a result, you can reduce your programming effort by up to 75%.
