TRANSPORTATION LIGHTING

The Transportation Lighting Group at the Lighting Research Center is committed to explore lighting and visibility issues associated with transportation. This includes research and educational programs in such disciplines as optical design, photometry, human factors, vision, product testing, and market assessment. In order to further its commitment to improving transportation lighting and visibility the LRC has developed the Transportation Lighting Alliance (TLA). Click here to find out more about this partnership among the LRC, industry market players, standard-setting organizations, and government.

Currently, the transportation lighting group's main focus is the roadway visibility system. The LRC takes a unique approach to examining roadway visibility by considering all elements; vehicle lighting, fixed roadway lighting, and signal and marking devices, separately and as an interactive system.
