Abstract:

This report provides the results from a study to determine possible uses of fiber optical light guides for remote source lighting for the Texas Department of Transportation. Fiber light guides are currently used within the Department for changeable message signs and signal heads. The investigation primarily considered its use for street, tunnel, and navigation lighting. The information in the report could help the designer for specific lighting configurations. The study as will be discussed in the report, has basically concluded that fiber optics for remote source lighting has many possibilities for transportation related needs and in fact are currently being implemented for changeable message signs and signal heads. However, the technology still requires additional improvements or breakthroughs for efficient usage before the full extent of the technology can be realized for the specific application areas investigated.
