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 (2009) and the course includes the application of these revisions.

Since the introduction of the luminance approach to road lighting design (1983) each and every project requires specific analysis.

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.

• 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
  Implementation of the various layout rules.
• For category P tasks :
  Using computer based information to establish appropriate lighting solutions
  Implementation of the various layout rules.
• Luminaire Photometrics as necessary
• Specific case studies (attendees invited to bring their own tasks for consideration and to see solutions evolve)

• Consolidate knowledge of design of Public Road Lighting tasks
• An in depth knowledge of the design principles and methodology in completing any public lighting design tasks (with emphasis on road lighting)
• When designer inputs are required for interpretation of the standard lighting tasks with particular requirements i.e. thinking "outside the square"
• Appropriate presentation methodologies for the client

Lighting Designers, or those wanting a more in depth understanding of the detail of the lighting design process. Engineers and designers from local road controlling authorities, traffic and design engineers from consultants and architects involved in the design of road lighting for vehicle and pedestrian traffic.

Night Tour
An optional night tour is available on the evening prior to this course. This tour of road lighting installations will take approximately two hours, commencing at dusk. Participants will get to see examples of both good and not so good installations.

$405.00 per person + GST
or
$620.00 per person + GST to attend 2 consecutive days
(ie; both Road Lighting and Road Lighting Design Training)

Participants are encouraged to bring their own laptops and copies of AS/NZS 1158 series of standards
