Road Lighting Course B - Design Training
Overview
This Road Lighting Design Training course provides practical guidance for those involved in the detail. Road Lighting Design is a skill that is essential for Asset owners of Road Lighting (Road Controlling Authorities, Councils and NZ Transport Agency) to have ready access to. Minor revisions to the suite of road lighting standards have been released and a new standard for pedestrian lighting has been released and the course includes the application of these upgrades.
Since the introduction of the luminance approach to road lighting design (1983) each and every Category V lighting schemes requires specific analysis. For each and every design it is essential that:
-
an adequate 'design brief' is established
-
the asset owner has access to those with skills to define adequately a design brief
-
the asset owner has access to those with appropriate training in the solution of a road lighting design task
-
the asset owner can evaluate those solutions and correlate them to the brief originally established
-
the asset owner has an understanding of any lifetime maintenance issues that the design encourages
This one day design seminar builds on the NZIHT Road Lighting one-day workshop. It covers the design methodology of the series of AS/NZS 1158 Road Lighting Standards and covers any relevant material from the "rightlight" project.

Building a road lighting design brief
-
Understanding a road lighting design brief
-
For Category V tasks
* using computer based solution finders to look at appropriate lighting options
* using computer tool to finalise selected design and ensure design is compliant and meets (and does not exceed) the design brief.
* straight road and complex intersection analysis
