Responsible use

Goal and impact

The purpose of the algorithm is to switch lights at specific times to:

- ensure road safety and

- use energy sustainably.

Considerations

- enhancing road safety

- making the area more sustainable

Human intervention

The output of this algorithm is interpreted by the manager, only after this is done is a decision made about the next steps regarding actual maintenance. Based on astronomical times, the burning hours are determined. These are programmed into the process.

Risk management

Risks are mitigated as much as possible by physical verification by the administrator when deviating from the algortime.

Legal basis

Dutch Practical Guideline 13201 Public Lighting

Operations

Data

Astronomical times

Technical design

A web application allows the administrator to access the lighting settings. This is made possible by a link between a luminaire dongle and the web application's server. By default, burning hours are tuned to astronomical times.
