Summary
The paper discusses the application of bio-dynamic luminaries for road lighting, focusing on the technical aspects, the impact on traffic drivers and environment and the development of the guidelines based on the impact on society.
Categories
Lighting Design Considerations: The paper discusses the technical aspects of road lighting, including luminance, illuminance, luminous efficacy, luminous uniformity, lamp survival factor, lamp lumen maintenance factor, colour rendering index, and correlated colour temperature.
Well-being: The paper discusses the impact of bio-dynamic road lighting on the safety and quality of life of people and the environment.
Cognitive function and memory: The paper discusses the influence of bio-dynamic road lighting on motorists, potentially affecting their alertness and performance.
Environmental Health: The paper discusses the environmental concerns related to the current road lighting system, including light pollution and its effect on the environment.
