Abstract:

The present report outlines activities undertaken to assess the potential for implementing research on visibility at mesopic light levels into lighting practices for roadways in New York State. Through measurements of light levels at several roadway lighting installations in New York's Capital District, and through analyses of visibility and human factors issues, and through economic analyses, the potential benefits for using "white" light sources in New York are discussed. Many of the benefits will be difficult for the New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT) to capitalize on because of the relatively few lighting installations designed and developed by NYSDOT. Nonetheless, there does appear to be potential for reducing lighting energy use and operating costs in rural and suburban roadway lighting installations, such as those located in residential areas, while maintaining unified luminance values related to visual performance under roadway lighting. Existing practices for roundabout lighting, midblock crossing lighting, and work zone lighting might also be opportunities for further exploration of the potential benefits of unified photometry for roadway lighting in New York State.
