Raod lighting

A method comprising:

• using one or more road-side illumination sources to emit illumination to illuminate at least part of a road;
• detecting a value of one or more parameters of a vehicle travelling on said road or said part of the road, the one or more parameters comprising a type of the vehicle;
• and
• controlling the illumination emitted by the one or more illumination sources, said control comprising adapting said illumination in dependence on the detected value or values of said one or more parameters,
• wherein the one or more detected parameters comprise at least a detection of a control type of the vehicle, the value of the control type being detected from amongst a set comprising two or more of:
• manually driven vehicle, assisted, and/or autonomous vehicle;
• and
• wherein the controlling the illumination comprises applying one or more illumination settings designed for an artificial light or image sensor of the vehicle in case of detecting that the vehicle is an autonomous vehicle, and to apply one or more illumination settings designed for the human visual system in case of detecting that the vehicle is a manually controlled vehicle.

A computer program product for controlling one or more road-side illumination sources to emit illumination to illuminate at least part of a road, the computer program product comprising code embodied on a computer-readable storage medium and configured so as when run on a controller to perform operations of:

• using one or more detectors to detect a value of one or more parameters of a vehicle travelling on said road or said part of the road, the one or more parameters comprising a type of the vehicle;
• and
• controlling the illumination emitted by the one or more illumination sources, said control comprising adapting said illumination in dependence on the detected value or values of said one or more parameters,
• wherein the one or more detected parameters comprise at least a detection of a control type of the vehicle, the value of the control type being detected from amongst a set comprising two or more of:
• manually driven vehicle, assisted, and/or autonomous vehicle;
• and
• wherein the controlling the illumination comprises applying one or more illumination settings designed for an artificial light or image sensor of the vehicle in case of detecting that the vehicle is an autonomous vehicle, and to apply one or more illumination settings designed for the human visual system in case of detecting that the vehicle is a manually controlled vehicle.
