To reduce the enormous waste of electric energy in tunnel lighting, an intelligent control system of road tunnel lighting which can realize the effect of illumination moving with the vehicle is proposed. In this system, the group control of LED lamps is realized based on Air Lamp lighting technology through the wide area fusion Internet of Things (WF-IoT). By the group control of LED lamps, the tunnel lighting is divided into several illumination segments. When the vehicle is detected by the surveillance camera, the corresponding LED group can be adjusted to the demand luminance according to the environmental conditions and traffic information. The other LED groups maintain 10% of the maximum luminance to reduce energy consumption. To realize the effect of illumination moving with the vehicle, the structure of the intelligent control system and hardware system is designed, and the length of the illumination segment is calculated. To evaluate the lighting effect of the intelligent control system, a simulation model of tunnel lighting is established. In addition, the energy-saving effect of the intelligent control system is evaluated. The results show that the intelligent control system can meet the requirements of illumination in a tunnel and have a notable energy-saving effect.
