Abstract

This paper proposes an efficient implementation of scalable and flexible street lighting control in urban environments. The purpose is to decrease the overall energy consumption without affecting safety. In a hierarchical three-level control strategy based on qualitative processing, the lower level is represented by wireless sensor-actuator network clusters that control individual street lamps, the second level and the highest, third-level, are represented by knowledge-based systems that implement efficient lighting strategies meant for different areas or for the entire city.
