Abstract:

The requirement of good lighting in road is an essential criterion. But the global energy crunch forces the optimization of energy consumption in road lighting design. The optimization of road lighting design starts with the determination of exact lighting class of the concerned road. The lighting class of different road depends upon few parameters related to traffic, road and its ambient condition. Most of the Indian roads are mixed and highly motorized in nature. In this paper, a new methodology for lighting classification of motorized Indian roads has been proposed. This proposed model has been developed based upon statistical analysis of traffic related parameters in Indian context. This model has also been validated in some real road context. Furthermore, this paper also demonstrates an approach for designing the lighting installation of a motorized road by maintaining the recommended lighting condition corresponds to the lighting class. This finally leads to an energy efficient design.
