COMPUTER TECHNIQUES FOR THE DESIGN OF STREET LIGHTING
The use of computer techniques, in particular the CIE programs is shown to be of economic importance in the design of street lighting where luminance criteria is used to determine visibility on roads. Examples are given where in practice economy is achieved together with the quality characteristics required of road lighting. The results or adjustments of lighting parameters can readily be seen and varied to suit lighting specification. As a result lighting columns and poles can be positioned to provide maximum efficiency in flux utilization and safety from impact. Compatibility with existing electricity subtransmission and distribution lines can be obtained by decreasing mounting height and selecting lanterns with suitable azimuthal flux distribution.
