Abstract
Amongst many road lighting design criteria, energy performance plays an important role as it has a direct link to operational costs, potential reduction of carbon dioxide emissions, mitigation of obtrusive light, and its impact on the night-time environment in urban and con-urban settlements. The energy energy performance of road lighting is conveniently described by the pair of normative numerical indicators PDI and AECI established in European standards. This paper aims to present typical values of the AECI (Annual Energy Consumption Indicator) for different combinations of road arrangements, road widths, lighting classes and light source technologies to illustrate what benchmarks can be expected using this assessment system. Essential part of this paper is focusing on assessment of the performance for traffic intensity and traffic detection based lighting adaptation.
