Abstract:
The aim of this paper is to present the first initiatives of the photometric group at Inmetro to analyze and test measurement procedures of lighting performance of roadways. At present, the evaluation for the average illuminance follows the brazilian standard ABNT-NBR-5101. The illuminance values measured in the field test are compared with calculated values, using the intensity distribution of the luminaires, which have been measured with a goniophotometer. Close agreement is found.
Keywords:
average illuminance of roads, uniformity factor of illuminance, goniophotometry of luminaires
