FACTORS INFLUENCING THE POWER REQUIREMENTS FOR LIGHTING IN VEHICULAR TRAFFIC TUNNELS

The paper gives an outline of the influence of some important factors on the power requirements for lighting in vehicular traffic tunnels. Some of these factors are the "critical" tunnel length, vehicle speed and the drivers adaption. The differences in adaption depends on the topgraphy of the access area of the tunnel. (Author/TRRL)
