Method of controlling an outdoor lighting system, a computer program product, a controlling device and an outdoor lighting system
First Claim
1. Method of controlling an outdoor lighting system, the outdoor lighting system comprising outdoor lamps which are distributed over spatial segments of an outdoor space, the emitted light intensity of the outdoor lamps being controllable for each spatial segment, and references being used to refer to specific spatial segments, the method comprising the steps of:
- receiving from a detection system an indication of a sub-area of the outdoor space and receiving at least one activity property for the sub-area, the detection system being arranged for detecting activity in the sub-area, the sub-area being different from all the spatial segments, the indication being used to refer to the sub-area, and the at least one activity property being related to a traffic density in the sub-area,mapping the at least one indication to at least one reference of a respective spatial segment,determining a light intensity level for the respective at least one spatial segment in dependence on the received at least one activity property, andproviding the at least one reference together with the respective determined light intensity to the outdoor lighting system.

Abstract
A method (100) of controlling an outdoor lighting system, a computer program product, a controlling device for controlling an outdoor lighting system and an outdoor lighting system are provided. The outdoor lighting system comprises outdoor lamps which are distributed over spatial segments of an outdoor space. The emitted light intensity of the outdoor lamps is controllable per spatial segment, and references are used to refer to specific spatial segments. The method (100) comprises the steps of (i) receiving (102) from a detection system an indication of a sub-area of the outdoor space and receiving at least one activity property or the sub-area, the detection system being arranged for detecting activity in the sub-area, the sub-area being different from all the spatial segments, and the indication being used to refer to the sub-area, and the at least one activity property being related to a traffic density in the sub-area (ii) mapping (104) the at least one indication to at least one reference of a respective spatial segment, (iii) determining (106) a light intensity level for the respective at least one spatial segment in dependence on the received at least one activity property, (iv) providing (108) the at least one reference together with the respective determined light intensity to the outdoor lighting system.

14. A controlling device for controlling an outdoor lighting system,
the outdoor lighting system comprising outdoor lamps which are distributed over spatial segments of an outdoor space, the emitted light intensity of the outdoor lamps is controllable for each spatial segment, and references being used to refer to the respective spatial segments, input means for receiving from a detection system an indication of a sub-area of the outdoor space and for receiving at least one activity property for the sub-area, the detection system being arranged for detecting activity in the sub-area, the sub-area being different from the spatial segments, and the indication being used to refer to the sub-areas, the at least one activity property being related to a traffic density in the sub-area, a processing unit being arranged for mapping the at least one indication to at least one reference of a respective spatial segment and for determining a light intensity level for the respective at least one spatial segment in dependence on the received at least one activity property, an output means for providing the at least one reference together with the respective determined light intensity to the outdoor lighting system.
