Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Smart lighting refers to an interdisciplinary field concerning the use of modern control-looped luminaires, as applied to exterior, interior, personal, or public lighting, as well as special cases, such as interactive design. It comprises connected research fields, from real mechanical, electronical, or optical design, sensing, and data collection/evaluation in lamp control strategies to theoretical simulations or modelling with self-learning control algorithms in the field of machine learning. Strategies for saving energy and boosting light efficiency are also included. Visual safety refers to the potential risk posed by uncontrolled lamps to people’s daily lives, as perceived by our visual- and non-visual systems. For reference, the first aspect can be loosely categorized as physiological or psychological glare,
The goal for this Special Issue is to present research and knowledge from both fields, in theories and applications, to help improve smart lighting and visual safety, especially in the field of transportation and future mobility, as well as other applications involving the scientific theory behind vision and lighting.
