“…Previous work Gómez-Lorente et al 2013;Rabaza et al 2013) demonstrated that multi-objective evolutionary algorithms (MOEAs) provide a quick and reliable method to obtain the optimized parameters of a lighting installation in terms of illuminance uniformity, U 0 , and efficiency, ε. MOEAs are evolutionary algorithms that are able to solve problems with more than one target, as occurs in road lighting. Such studies showed that there is *Corresponding author.…”

New relationships between energy efficiency, illuminance uniformity, spacing and mounting height in public lighting installations were derived from the analysis of a large sample of outputs generated with a widely used software application for lighting design. These new relationships greatly facilitate the calculation of basic lighting installation parameters. The results obtained are also based on maximal energy efficiency and illuminance uniformity as a premise, which are not included in more conventional methods. However, these factors are crucial since they ensure the sustainability of the installations. This research formulated, applied and analysed these new equations. The results of this study highlight their usefulness in rapid planning and urban planning in developing countries or areas affected by natural disasters where engineering facilities and computer applications for this purpose are often unavailable.

Abstract:In recent years, smartphones have become the main computing tool for most of the population, making them an ideal tool in many areas. Most of these smartphones are equipped with cutting-edge hardware on their digital cameras, sensors and processors. For this reason, this paper discusses the possibility of using smartphones as an accessible and accurate tool, focusing on the measurement of light, which is an element that has a high impact on human behavior, which promotes conformance and safety, or alters human physiology when it is inappropriate. To carry out this study, three different ways to measure light through smartphones have been checked: the ambient light sensor, the digital camera and an external Bluetooth luxmeter connected with the smartphone. As a result, the accuracy of these methods has been compared to check if they can be used as accurate measurement tools.

Abstract. This paper proposes a new method of optimization that minimizes energy consumption in street lighting with the aim of using minimal infrastructure in photovoltaic installations. In an attempt to reduce our energy dependency from the outside, the world of science not only is searching and developing new energy sources, but it is also implementing new methods of design of installations that consume less, while they maintain the highest standards of quality. In this work we continue with that idea, it provide an alternative method to achieve that lighting installations consume less and at the same time take advantage of the qualities of renewable energies. To do this, in this study two variables are chosen to optimize the installation of public lighting; energy consumption and global uniformity. The first is intended to minimize the number and cost of photovoltaic elements and the second to ensure the quality of the lighting.As a practical example, any city of the South of Spain was chosen, therefore the choice of solar photovoltaic is justified because there are large number of hours of sunshine per year.
