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, wherein the mapping is performed on the basis of a predefined mapping between the sub-areas and the spatial segments,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.
