Lighting Design is a field of engineering that misses automatic approaches to help lighting designers. Genetic Algorithms (GA) are a widely used class of algorithm for search and optimization. This work presents the early results from applying GA for computer-generated public lighting design. Some simplifications are done in order to test the extent and efficacy of this methodology. The solution designed by GA, when compared to the edified one, shows a superior uniformity of illumination and a 10% of economy on power consumption.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
