Method for controlling street lighting over a plurality of interconnected road segments (2a-2q), in which a road class is dynamically assigned to each road segment (2a-2q) on the basis of, at least, stored road type data associated to each road segment and traffic parameters determined for each road segment (2a-2q) for a current time period. At least a corresponding maximum lighting level (Pmax) is associated to each road class. In this method, signals comprising speed and direction of travel data of road users (21a-21c), and an identification of the road user (21a-21c) are propagated through series of adjacent road segments (2a-2q) starting from each road user's road segment (2a-2q), and a new lighting level ( Pnew) equal to said maximum lighting level ( Pmax) is set at each road segment (2a-2q) whose distance (d) to the road user's road segment (2a-2q) is not greater than a first distance (di). A control device for implementing the above method is also disclosed. |
