CONTROL NETWORK FOR LED-BASED LIGHTING SYSTEM IN A TRANSIT VEHICLE |
摘要 |
A transit vehicle lighting system has a plurality of LED-based lighting fixtures for providing interior illumination. A control network comprises a plurality of slave nodes for controlling the LED-based lighting fixtures, and a master node for controlling the slave nodes. The master node may be connected to the slave nodes by a combined power/communication bus in a daisy chain fashion. The slave node may include a power regulator and a controller for providing a target current command to the power regulator, and may adjust the target current based upon temperature measurementsor a recorded age of the LEDs. An optical sensor may provide automatic dimming. A reduced number of LEDs may be used in an emergency mode. The lighting fixture may include a ceiling panel fixture and a riser panel attachable by way of a hinge mechanism. |

1. A distributed control network for a transit vehicle lighting system, comprising:
a plurality of LED-based lighting fixtures, each of said LED-based lighting fixtures comprising a plurality of light-emitting diodes (LEDs) for illuminating an area of a transit vehicle; a plurality of slave nodes for controlling the LED-based lighting fixtures; a master node in communication with said slave nodes; and a digital communications bus for communicating among the master node and the slave nodes. |
