This book outlines the underlying principles on which modern road
lighting is based, and provides the reader with knowledge of how
these principles should be applied in practice. This book offers a
completely fresh approach to the subject, reflecting how the
technology of road lighting has progressed to keep up with the
changes in lamp technology, especially in solid state light
sources, and the increasing awareness of energy use and
environmental issues. The book is divided into three parts. Part
One describes lighting of open roads, with chapters discussing
visual performance and comfort (including the effects of mesopic
vision and age), and international standards and recommendations
for road lighting. Lighting equipment is introduced; specifically
lamps and luminaires in terms of their practical properties and
features, but also the road surface and its characteristics. A
chapter on Lighting Design makes the link between theory and
practice, providing the reader with the knowledge needed for
effective lighting design, including aspects relating to
sustainability. The final chapter of Part One deals with lighting
calculation conventions and measurements. Part Two is devoted to
light pollution. The negative consequences of light pollution are
described and tactics to restrict light pollution explained.
Lighting criteria are defined that can be used by the lighting
designer to guarantee installations stay within acceptable limits.
International standards and recommendations on the restriction of
light pollution are discussed. Part Three is devoted to tunnel
lighting, with chapters discussing visual performance in tunnel
environments, lighting criteria, standards and recommendations, and
concluding with a chapter on tunnel lighting equipment and design.
This book is a valuable resource for road lighting designers and
engineers, students of lighting design and engineering, town
planners, traffic engineers, environmental specialists, and lamp
and luminaire developers and manufacturers.
