THE "OLYMPIA JUNCTION" IN MUNICH

PROBLEMS INHERENT IN THE DESIGN OF AN EFFECTIVE LIGHTING SYSTEM FOR THIS COMPLEX ARE PRESENTED. THE SOLUTION ADOPTED IS DISCUSSED. THE SYSTEM USED EMPLOYS HIGH MASTS, EACH HAVING VERTICALLY DISPLACED FLOODLIGHTS. TO MEET THE DIN 5044 REQUIREMENTS, 23 MASTS, EACH 35 M HIGH, CARRY APPROXIMATELY 650 FLOODLIFHTS. THE MASTS ARE OF PRE-STRESSED CONCRETE CONSTRUCTION, TAPERING TOWARDS THE TOP AND HAVING A STAR-SHAPED, 3-HAUNCH (120 DEGREES) CROSS-SECTION. FLOODS ARE SET IN TRACKS IN EACH LAUNCH. NARROW-BEAM LIGHTS ARE SET IN THE UPPERMOST THIRD OF THE MASTS AND ILLUMINATE ROAD AREAS FURTHEST FROM THE MAST. WIDE-BEAM LIGHTS RAKE THE APPROACH ROADS IN THE DIRECTION OF THE MAST. FLOODLIGHTS WITH A VERY WIDE DISTRIBUTION LIGHT AREAS NEAREST TO THE MAST IN THE DIRECTION OF THE ROADWAYS. CONTROL GEAR IS INSTALLED TO SWITCH FROM FULL TO PARTIAL LOAD. /TRRL/
