• Abstract:
  The Roadway Lighting Handbook (IP-78-15) deals with all aspects of visibility requirements, equipment, system design, operation and maintenance of a roadway lighting system. A major change from illuminance to pavement luminance as a criterion for lighting design has been made in ANSI RP-8, 1983. This addendum to the chapter on lighting design (Chapter 6) explains the meaning of the new terminology, gives luminance criteria and explains design procedures. Alternate methods of design using either a hand calculator, graphical aids, or computer printouts are included.
