title: Light intensity distribution optimization for tunnel lamps in different zones of a long tunnel.
abstract: The light distributions in different tunnel zones have different requirements in order to meet the driver's visual system. In this paper, the light intensity distributions of tunnel lamps in different zones of a long tunnel are optimized separately. A common nonlinear optimization approach is proposed to minimize the consuming power as well as satisfy the luminance and glare requirements both on the road surface and on the wall set by International Commission on Illumination (CIE). Compared with that of the reported linear optimization method, the optimization model can save energy from 11% to 57.6% under the same installation conditions.
