Avantgarde company completed the project of implementing an automated lighting control system on the ring road in Shenzhen city.
This project, covering more than 92 km in the first and second phases, includes a six-lane first-category highway and tunnels with a total length of 8 km.
This solution is patented. The rights holder is LLC Design Bureau Avantgarde.
The project incorporated the Avantgarde intelligent lighting control system using the "Phoenix" software, which enabled lighting management along the entire highway. In this project, dimmable light sources and vehicle detection sensors were installed. Depending on the highway topology, the lighting control system utilizes various operational scenarios - turning lights on and off according to a schedule, the astronomical calendar, and adjusting the brightness of individual luminaires or groups based on the set schedule.
A key feature of the lighting control system was the ability to adjust lighting based on external weather conditions, such as rain, fog, and heavy cloudiness. The lighting control system was also integrated with the overall highway management platform and traffic monitoring, which resulted in reduced accident rates, lower electricity consumption, and consequently, fewer emissions. After implementation, the system demonstrated more than 60% energy savings, and the efficiency of maintenance and response increased significantly.
