• Abstract:
  The information contained herein was developed on Research Project 2-8-64-75 entitled "Supplementary Studies in Highway Illumination," which is a cooperative research project sponsored jointly by the Texas Highway Department and the U. S. Department of Transportation, Federal Highway Administration, Bureau of Public Roads. The broad objective of this project is to (a) study methods to evaluate and compare continuous highway illumination systems, (b) study the visibility characteristics for high level lighting and driver requirements for rural interchange lighting, (c) evaluate contemporary luminaire supports for safety and develop break-away bases to enhance roadside safety. This report covers the specific objective of developing a mathematical model of a luminaire support assembly that is impacted by a vehicle.
