Abstract

This thesis presents a comprehensive analysis of light intensity on a double lane road with lamp poles positioned at the kerb side edge. The study aims to evaluate light distribution on double lane road. The investigation involves measuring light intensity at various heights and angles from the road surface, using advanced photometric equipment to gather precise data. A portable streetlamp has been specifically created for this study to measure the light intensity of the road on double lanes. Various aspects have been considered, such as the road's length, the lamp's height, the road's width, and the angle at which the lamp shines. Based on the calculated factors, the light intensity readings will be obtained along the grid line of the road. The results indicate higher light intensity levels at the beginning and end of the lamp, with lower light intensity distributed in the middle of the road between the lamp posts. This study offers a valuable foundation for city planners and engineers to enhance road lighting systems for safer and more effective transportation networks. Moreover, this study potentially evaluates the effectiveness of car Autonomous Emergency Braking Systems (AEB).
