| Title of the article | Illumination of highways in rural settlements |
| Abstract. | Problem statement. Many small settlements in rural areas do not have sufficient street lighting. This causes great discomfort to the locals, especially in winter. The issue of lighting is acute if a highway passes through the settlement, which is also the main street of the settlement. Lighting of such roads allows not only to improve lighting engineering performance, but also to reduce the number of traffic accidents associated with hitting pedestrians at night. The purpose of the work is to compare the methods of lighting engineering calculations of highways illumination parameters, to select a less expensive solution for the arrangement of lighting on a highway. To achieve the goal, the following tasks were solved: study of existing methods of lighting engineering calculation of road illumination parameters; identification of the most economical method for calculating road illumination using a section of a highway as an example. Results. The paper presents the results of calculating the lighting engineering characteristics of road illumination. The average brightness and average illumination of the road are selected as the main parameters. Based on the calculation results, the analysis of the selected parameters was carried out and the economic efficiency of the considered methods was evaluated. Conclusions. The significance for the road construction industry lies in obtaining more advantageous design solutions related to the calculations of lighting engineering parameters for highways illumination through the use of a methodology developed by the All-Russian Scientific Research Lighting Engineering Institute named after S.I. Vavilov. |
