Assessment of pedestrian crossings measuring parameters and implementation of new measuring methods in Estonia

Abstract

Focus is on the assessment of measuring parameters of pedestrian crossings with additional lighting in Estonia and on the implementation of recommendatory measuring methods. Current coverage of normative documents is insufficient in the context of lighting unregulated pedestrian crossings; also, measurement and evaluation of the lighting parameters on crossings have been poorly covered. This paper focuses on the measurement and analysis of light parameters. Lighting was surveyed with a contemporary photographic measuring method, which enables us to define light technical parameters more effectively, to evaluate modern LED lighting and to apply safer solutions. Surveys were made on the crossroads with new LED-based lighting solutions; light-technical parameters are recommended and new solutions for safer lighting solutions on pedestrian crossings were developed.
