Fundamentals of Road Lighting Design
Road
Lighting
Engineering
involves the
design,
construction,
operation
&
maintenance
of Road
Light and
associated
infrastructure
to ensure
adequate and
uniform
lighting
levels are
provided for
drivers and
pedestrians
safety.
Road
lighting
design
supports
lighting
engineers to
develop a
lighting
model to
remove dark
spots,
provide a
clear view
of the road
and
associated
infrastructure
to provide a
desirable
minimum
illumination
for all road
users.
The first
module
covers key
industry of
road
lighting
engineering,
basic
principles
of road
lighting
design, site
assessment
criteria
before
initiating
lighting
design and
lighting
terminologies. Within
lighting
terminologies,
we have
covered set
back
distance,
arm Length,
mounting
height,
straight
vertical
distance,
candela
(cd),
footcandle
(fc),
Illuminance
(E),
luminance
(L), lux
(lx), the
lumen (lm).
The second
module
covers the
basics of
lighting
design,
luminaire
selection,
road
lighting
mounting
options.
The
primary
methods of
lighting
design are
luminance
method and
Illuminance
method.
The
module also
recommends
the
illuminance
level, for
various road
types,
junction
types,
mid-block
crossings,
etc. The
module also
covers the
concept BUG
Rating
System that
provides a
numerical
rating of
the
luminaire
light
distribution
as it
applies to
the lighting
trespass up
light and
glare.
The third
module
covers
lighting
column
protection
measures.
passively
safe
lighting
columns,
road
lighting
cable
network,
smart
lighting
systems and
road
lighting
maintenance
regime. When
lighting
columns are
placed very
close to the
road edge or
at a
vulnerable
location, it
is highly
possible to
be crashed
by an errant
vehicle? There
are two
possible
ways to
protect it,
by placing
road
restraint
system or by
using
passively
safe
lighting
columns. The
module has
described
both
measures in
detail. The
module also
describes
the smart
road
lighting
system such
as LoRaWAN.
The fourth
volume
covers the
features of
LED
Lighting,
advantages
of LED
lighting,
implementation
of LED
lighting and
LED adoption
challenges.
LED lights are diodes that emit high-quality
light with
high lumen
efficacy and
high lumen
outputs. The
module has
described
LED lighting
and all
associated
features in
detail.
The fifth
module
covers
standard
details of
lighting
columns, LED
lanterns,
feeder
pillars and
chambers. We
have also
provided a
bonus
section
where we
have shared
20 interview
questions
& tips
for fresh
civil
engineer
jobs. It
will help
newbie civil
engineers to
better
prepare for
job
interviews.
