INGE – Intelligent street lighting for increased traffic safety with reduced costs

Intelligent systems are omnipresent in today’s traffic environment. Communication and control networks connect
different units like traffic signals or luminaries but are strictly separated from each other. Duplicated infrastructure
like traffic sensors are the result and highly separated control platforms. This work will present a solution on how
to loosely couple safety-related and safety-non-related networks to increase the database by providing sensor-data
also for other applications and open up a possibility to extend non-safety-related applications with the introduction
of (previously) not accessible sensor data from safety-related networks. A modular network structure for nonsafety-
related networks is described in detail in addition to parts of the overall management platform and how the
data of the safety-related subnetworks should be included seamlessly. Last a simulation approach is described on
how traffic at an intersection can be modeled to generate different scenario data for a later in detail energy
simulation. With the help of this simulation the approach will be evaluated and optimized.
