10、Part 51974. It forms Part 4 (designated AS 1158.4) of the new series of Standards that comprise the SAA Public Lighting Code.* One objective of AS 1158.1 is to ensure visibility of pedestrians for vehicle drivers anywhere along a road. Nevertheless, supplementary lighting may be required at some ped
11、estrian crossing locations of which the following are examples: (a)On or near crests. From a drivers viewpoint the background beyond the pedestrian may comprise dark sky, darksurfaced fences or buildings, and/or a confused pattern of lights. Disability glare due to the headlights of approaching vehi
12、cles will be much greater than on level or uniformgrade roads. (b)At curves. The background beyond the pedestrian may comprise a confusing pattern of lights and roadside structures. (c)In locations where experience indicates that drivers may have special difficulty in seeing pedestrians using the cr
13、ossing. Supplementary lighting can be beneficial at most pedestrian crossings in wet weather when the direct illumination of pedestrians by supplementary lighting can compensate for the reduced effectiveness of normal road lighting when the road surface is wet. The requirements of this Standard assu
14、me the existence of road lighting to at least Category A3 in AS 1158.1. Where the pedestrian crossing is located on a road which is unlit or lit only to Category B in AS 1158.1, upgrading of the road lighting in the vicinity of the crossing will be necessary. This Standard differs from AS 1158, Part
15、 51974, in that the requirements are specified solely in terms of the desired photometric performance.

28、. SCOPE AND GENERAL 1.1SCOPE. This Standard specifies performance requirementsfor the floodlighting of pedestrian (zebra) crossings as defined in Clause 1.3.1. The requirements may also be applied to other forms of pedestrian crossings, e.g. signalised crossings, where the lighting of such crossings
29、 is specifically desired. The requirements of this Standard are based on the existence of road lighting in the vicinity of the crossing to at least Category A3 in AS 1158.1 (see Clause 2.2 herein). Therequirementsgenerallyassumethatthe pedestrian crossing islocated on a road with two-way traffic; ho
30、wever, unless otherwise stated, they also apply to pedestrian crossings on one-way roads. For roads with two-way traffic the requirements for each half of the crossing (from kerb to the road centre) are considered separately according to the direction of traffic flow. For one-way roads the requireme
31、nts apply from kerb to kerb in the particular direction of traffic flow. NOTE: Appendix A provides guidance on the design and installationoffloodlightingsystemstosatisfythe requirements of this Standard. 1.2 REFERENCED DOCUMENTS.

OBJECTIVES AND LIGHT TECHNICAL PARAMETERS 2.1 OBJECTIVES. The principal objectives in the floodlighting of
40、pedestrian crossings are to (a)provide advance warning to motorists of the presence of the crossing; and (b) enhancepedestrianvisibilitybydirect illumination. These objectives are achieved by the use of a system of lighting comprising one or more floodlights mounted aboveeach stream of traffic with
41、the beam(s) pointed in the direction of traffic flow towards the crossing, as illustrated in Fig. 2.1. 2.2 LIGHT TECHNICAL PARAMETERS. 2.2.1Road lighting in the vicinity of pedestrian crossings. Road lighting to at least Category A3 in AS 1158.1 shall be provided for not less than three spans on eit
42、her side of the pedestrian crossing. 2.2.2Vertical plane illuminance. Floodlighting installationsshallprovideaverticalplane illuminance of not less than 45 1x within the crossing zone.Forthepurposeofthisrequirement, compliance shall be deemed to have been achieved if the vertical plane illuminance a
43、t each of the 18 points defined in Fig. 2.2 is not less than 45 1x. For calculationpurposes,thecarriagewayshallbe assumed to be horizontal and the installation to be new, i.e. new lamps and clean floodlights. 2.2.3Illuminance on the road surface. The illuminance provided on the road surface shall be
44、 deemed adequate if the vertical plane illuminance specified in Clause 2.2.2 is attained. 2.2.4Surround illumination. Illumination pro- vided by the floodlight(s) shall extend at least 3 m back from the kerb in order to adequately illuminate pedestrians about to use the crossing. NOTE: This requirem
45、ent should normally be satisfied if the minimumverticalplaneilluminancespecifiedin Clause 2.2.2 is provided throughout thecrossing zone. Care should be taken to ensure that the illumination is not obstructed by shop awnings or trees. Beyond the 3-metre distance specified above, the luminous intensit
46、ies provided by the floodlight(s) shall decrease rapidly to minimize the amount of light directed beyond the property line. Fig. 2.1.

47、ontrol. The luminous intensity at 70 degrees to the downward vertical axis through the floodlight, in the vertical plane parallel to the road axis,shall not exceed8000cd.Theluminous intensity shall decrease rapidly and smoothly above that angle. NOTE: High beam intensities are necessary to achieve t
48、he required vertical plane illuminance throughout the whole of the crossing zone. Strict control of intensities directed towards the eyes of drivers approaching the crossing is therefore essential to avoid disability glare. 2.3BASIS OF COMPLIANCE. Design of an installation for compliance with the re
49、quirements in Section 2 will normally utilise either (a)a manufacturers compliance table (see Clause 4.2); or (b) independent calculation. Bothmethodsinvolvetheuseofasuitable floodlighting computer program and an intensity distribution table, i.e. an I-table, for the floodlight used (see Clause 4.3). A designer making independent calculations will, in additiontothecalculationsnecessaryfor determining compliance with Clause 2.2.2, need to separately assess the results for compliance with the requirements of Clauses 2.2.4 and 2.2.5. 2.4 MAINTENANCE
