Goal and impact
Gain insight into the course of light emissions within the province of Groningen. Through the data provided by the maps, policy can be adjusted. The aim here is to reduce public lighting to limit light pollution (and energy consumption). This should take into account social and road safety.
Considerations
Without the use of this monitor, measurements would have to be made more manually, which is less efficient.
Human intervention
The measurement data and the generated maps are always analysed by a policy officer before this data is used to draft or change policies.
Risk management
The human intervention mentioned above ensures that data from the darkness monitor is verified before it is used to create or change policies.
Legal basis
Environment Act
Operations
Data
Satellite data
Technical design
The monitor compiles various satellite images, resulting in maps on the basis of which policies can be drafted or changed.
