Multi-agent system supporting automated GIS-based photometric computations

The growing share of LED light sources in outdoor lighting enables developing street lighting solutions characterized by high energy efficiency. It is accomplished by replacing high intensity discharging lamps with LEDs and implementing various control strategies. It was also shown that a well tailored lighting design may significantly decrease the power usage. To apply this method in large projects, however, the computationally efficient approach is necessary. In this article we propose the method of energy efficiency optimization relying on a multi-agent system framework which enables scalable computations capable of handling large-scale projects. The case of a real-life optimization is also presented in the paper.
