Road lighting.
Lower road lighting intensities provide better contrast than the full road lighting up to the distance of 70 m because at lower road lighting intensities the effect of car headlights will be increased.
High electricity consumption and related costs of road lighting are the driving forces for new and efficient road lighting technology to tackle energy, cost, and safety challenges.
Numerous reasons highlight the importance of the transition from standard static road lighting practices to intelligent road lighting ones, such as the cost and environmental impacts of light.
The results of these experiments can give new insight to the development of intelligent road lighting considering the combined effect of road lighting and car headlights.
Until recently, not many studies have been conducted about the interaction between road lighting and car headlights, despite the high potential to reduce energy consumption by dimming road lighting.
Thus, one can conclude that reducing road lighting in urban areas with low speeds might be workable.
This study indicates that current road lighting practices are over-lighting and there are potentials to reduce road lighting levels in the presence of car headlights.
Full road lightings provide the slightly better absolute value of contrast than lower road lighting intensities.
If you improve road lighting or install anti-lock brakes, people drive faster and more recklessly.
However, road lighting consumes electricity.
