Abstract

In order to improve road lighting safety through an artistry lighting design strategy with limited cost, with lighting design of Chancheng Avenue in Xishui county as an example, influence of lamppost color on drivers' fatigue was studied based on road space enclosed scene and road length threshold by using drivers' visual attention theory. Secondly, effects of LED light⁃boxes on visual guidance in foggy weather, pedestrian security, and location identification were explored, and influence of road lighting, light source color temperature, and color rendering index on foggy nighttime driving safety was studied. Then, four different working modes for full bright (from dusk till midnight), mid⁃night, foggy daytime, and foggy nighttime were proposed based on energy⁃saving requirement. Finally, reliability and effectiveness of all⁃ weather, all⁃time design strategy were verified through data measurement and user evaluation after project completion. The results indicate high satisfaction from drivers and pedestrians on the uniqueness of the design, safety of the nighttime road lighting environment, and visual guidance of lighting facilities. Colored lampposts relieve drivers' visual fatigue and remind them to reduce speed. Also, the light⁃boxes effectively provide visual reference for foggy nighttime driving. © 2022 China Safety Science Journal. All rights reserved.
