Abstract

Street lighting (SL) aims to improve security for street users during the night by expanding perceivability level by guaranteeing a certain luminance level. This paper introduces a brief investigation of previous researches on SL criteria and applications. The main objectives were to assess and indicate further research required in SL criteria, and explore additional aspects to improve their efficiency, with the Buraidah, Qassim region in Kingdom of Saudi Arabia used as a case study. This paper proposes additional limitations, alternative criteria, and their associated benefits.

Highlights

The primary purpose of street lighting (SL) is to protect people from road traffic accidents [1, 2]
Many efforts and technological developments attempted to attain this goal and curb the economic toll that traffic accidents cause on national resources, as the reduction of accident cost justifies every investment in the optimization of street lighting [3]
While several options could be considered for adapting outdoor lighting to more efficient technologies, this paper largely refers to LED conversion, as it represents the majority of full-scale conversions by local governments and states [15, 16]

Summary

Introduction

The primary purpose of street lighting (SL) is to protect people from road traffic accidents [1, 2]. The spectral emission is concentrated at 589-589.6nm, which is close to the peak of the photopic curve They are average in foggy or misty conditions, and water droplets do not disperse their monochromatic yellow light [4]. Ibrahim et al.: Literature Review and a Conceptual Research Framework of Adaptive Road Lighting. This essential need consumes a significant amount of energy, and is often tethered to substantial operation costs. As the electricity consumption of street lighting is considered high for the municipal authorities representing 10-40% of total consumption, many cities adopt new technologies in lighting systems [14].
