Technical and economic analysis of road lighting solutions based on mesopic vision

Recommendations for energy efficient and visually acceptable street lighting

“…Note that scientific papers dealing with street lighting strategy plans are extremely rare [3,4], while the situation with indoor lighting is quite different (see, for example, references [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12] Reconstruction of street lighting requires adequate design. However, sometimes upgrades are not based on lighting design (which should be made using licensed software), but on the experience gained from previous reconstructions (for example, luminaires with HPM lamps of 400 W are replaced by luminaires with HPS lamps of 150 W, which are usually considered equivalent).…”

“…Based on the lighting design, an economic comparison of the upgrade and redesign solutions can be done, by the application of the generally accepted cost-discount method [4], which takes into account not only initial (investment), but also electricity and maintenance costs within the exploitation period (20-30 years).…”

Optimal Lamp Selection Considering Vision during Driving Condition

“…In night time as both rod and cone are active so ultimately mesopic sensitivity need to be considered. The four distinct tasks, a driver has to do in night time driving are -direct viewing the object, overall brightness perception, off-axis object detection and overall movement detection [12].…”

Feasibility Study on LED Street Lighting with Smart Dimming Systems in Wooi Stream, Seoul

“…Following such measures of the government, companies in Korea are also becoming interested in research and investment for eco-friendly industries, and the feasibility of LED, an environment-friendly material, is being researched from many sides. The energy and CO 2 reduction effects of LED have already been proven through various studies, and the LED is being widely used indoors and outdoors as the nextgeneration light source [3][4][5][6][7] . In particular, street lighting, which is the most typical outdoor light source, is evolving into smart lighting, which possesses high efficiency and performance, by combining with information and communication technology (ICT) and the internet of things (IoT) recently.…”
