LIGHTING OF TUNNEL ENTRANCES TAKING INTO ACCOUNT THE VISUAL CAPACITY OF DRIVERS /IN FRENCH/

INVESTIGATIONS ARE MADE INTO METHODS OF LIGHTING HIGHWAY TUNNELS TO ENABLE DRIVERS TO DRIVE SAFELY WITHOUT HAVING TO REDUCE SPEED EXCESSIVELY. THE EFFECTS ON THE VISION OF DRIVERS APPROACHING AND ENTERING LONG RELATIVELY DARK TUNNELS WERE EXAMINED. RESULTS OF THESE TESTS WERE USED IN THE DESIGN OF THE LIGHTING OF THE COEN TUNNEL IN AMSTERDAM. /LCPC (A) /RRL/
