LIGHTING SYSTEM WITH TRAFFIC REROUTING FUNCTIONALITY

A lighting system for illuminating an environment, the lighting system comprising a plurality of lighting modules (111, 112, 113), the lighting modules comprising a light source (111a) for emitting light, illuminating an area, an acoustic sensor (111b) arranged for sensing noise in the area, a network interface configured to allow the lighting module to send noise data via a network, and a vehicle routing device (120) comprising: a first network interface (121) configured to receive noise data from the plurality of lighting modules via the network, a processor circuit arranged to calculate noise metrics for different regions (341-344) in the environment from the received noise data, compare the calculated noise metric with noise metric threshold values, dependent upon the calculated noise metric exceeding a noise metric threshold value for a particular region, generating a traffic rerouting signal, said traffic rerouting signal causing a traffic routing system to reroute traffic away from said particular region.
