Abstract

The need for certification standards for new convergence products, such as a smart LED streetlight system, has been identified as a critical issue. This study proposes simulation modeling for smart LED streetlight systems and suggests three certification standards: the minimum time to initiate dimming-up, the duration of the dimming-up period, and the number of concurrently controlled streetlights. We utilized Relux to model streetlights and roads in terms of luminance levels, and used analytical formulas to compute the braking distances of oncoming vehicles. The two models were integrated into a smart LED streetlight system model using Simio. Simulation experiments were conducted with two objectives: to provide certification standards, and to apply and verify them in real-world cases. We experimented with 630 scenarios, modeling various dynamic situations involving roads and vehicles, and applied the model to two actual roads in the Republic of Korea to test its validity. The model was subsequently applied to roads for which traffic-volume data were available, to determine potential energy savings. The proposed simulation method can be applied to a smart LED streetlight system and to new products that lack certification standards. Furthermore, the proposed certification standards offer alternative approaches to operating streetlight systems more efficiently.
