To reduce the enormous waste of electric energy in tunnel lighting, an intelligent control system of road tunnel lighting which can realize the effect of illumination moving with the vehicle is proposed. In this system, the group control of LED lamps is realized based on Air Lamp lighting technology through the wide area fusion Internet of Things (WF-IoT). By the group control of LED lamps, the tunnel lighting is divided into several illumination segments. When the vehicle is detected by the surveillance camera, the corresponding LED group can be adjusted to the demand luminance according to the environmental conditions and traffic information. The other LED groups maintain 10% of the maximum luminance to reduce energy consumption. To realize the effect of illumination moving with the vehicle, the structure of the intelligent control system and hardware system is designed, and the length of the illumination segment is calculated. To evaluate the lighting effect of the intelligent control system, a simulation model of tunnel lighting is established. In addition, the energy-saving effect of the intelligent control system is evaluated. The results show that the intelligent control system can meet the requirements of illumination in a tunnel and have a notable energy-saving effect.

Because of the particularity of the environment in the tunnel, the rational tunnel illumination system should be developed, so as to optimize the tunnel environment. Considering the high cost of traditional tunnel illumination system with high-pressure sodium (HPS) lamps as well as the effect of a single light source on tunnel entrance, the energy-saving illumination system with HPS lamps and LEDs combined illumination in road tunnel, which could make full use of these two kinds of lamps, was proposed. The wireless intelligent control system based on HPS lamps and LEDs combined illumination and microcontrol unit (MCU) Si1000 wireless communication technology was designed. And the remote monitoring, wireless communication, and PWM dimming module of this system were designed emphatically. Intensity detector and vehicle flow detector can be configured in wireless intelligent control system, which gather the information to the master control unit, and then the information is sent to the monitoring center through the Ethernet. The control strategies are got by the monitoring center according to the calculated results, and the control unit wirelessly sends parameters to lamps, which adjust the luminance of each segment of the tunnel and realize the wireless intelligent control of combined illumination in road tunnel.

<p class="p0">It is serious that the electric energy waste exists in highway tunnel operation. Operators and institutes of scientific research pay more and more attention that how to reduce the energy consumption of lighting system of highway tunnels, improve the effect of tunnel lighting and ensure traffic safety. In order to solve the problem of the current tunnel lighting system with high energy consumption, a tunnel lighting intelligent control system based on environmental information perception and vehicle behavior information perception is proposed in this paper for ChiBai tunnel project. In this system, the existence of the vehicle or not is the basis of lighting state switching, environmental information and vehicle behavior information are the basis for calculation of the lighting brightness, pavement illuminance is real-time monitored by the monitoring cameras, closed-loop feedback control of the lighting brightness is achieved through real-time monitoring of pavement illuminance and PID algorithm. The intelligent control system is composed of five parts, in this paper, there are detailed introductions about the function of various parts of the system, including hardware structure, connecting method and the system of dimming control strategy, software functions and the equipment layout position.</p>
