| Abstract | The objective of this scanning tour was to gather information from European transportation ministries and lighting professionals regarding cutting-edge research and technologies in highway and roadway lighting systems, including tunnel illumination, sign lighting, and all methods used to design roadway lighting systems. Some of the information could provide a basis on which to update the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials’ Informational Guide for Roadway Lighting. In April 2000 the scan team visited Finland, Switzerland, France, Belgium, and the Netherlands. Based on its observations, the panel developed specific recommendations for the U.S. lighting community in such areas as visibility design technique; dynamic road lighting; pavement reflection factors; master lighting plans; lighting techniques for roundabouts, crosswalks, and pedestrian areas; energy-absorbing poles; signs; and equipment quality level and maintenance. |
