OPTIMUM LIGHTING FOR AIRPORT APRONS

Optimally lit airport aprons are a high-ranking safety factor in all respects. They ensure that operations on the ramp can be continued rationally and without delays even after dark. The authors of this article discuss the general aspects that must be taken into consideration in designing apron lighting systems. In the process it becomes clear that much more thought should be given to this subject by scientists, associations and the authorities. The article concludes by presenting an optimum lighting design that has been prepared with the aid of a computer.
