Accession Number: 00372272
Record Type: Component
Availability: Find a library where document is available Abstract: The tunnel-lighting design criteria proposed by various authoritative technical societies on a worldwide scale are reviewed. The paper compares the recommended design practices with actual engineering and installation methods used in North America and in other parts of the world. A case study of the Thorold Tunnel is discussed, and the difficulties in designing tunnel lighting based on present methods are reviewed. Suggestions are made for possible practical solutions to meet the driver's needs with minimal energy consumption. (Author)
