OBJECTIVE OF THE LIGTING CALCULATION
1) Provide Sufficient Lighting to Dual Roadway during Daytime, Nighttime and Emergency
2) Provide excellent wall grazing effect on the writing on the wall

PLAN OF ROAD
1) Speed of Road
2) Daily Traffic: Heavy (w/o provision for
pedestrians and cyclists)
3) Dual Carriageway with 3-lanes per
direction

CONSIDERATION IN CALCULATION
1) Since the covered part of
the Tunnel is about 121m
long, we can consider it to
be a SHORT TUNNEL or an
UNDERPASS.
2) As soon as Luminance on
Threshold (LTH)is known,
we shall target 50% of it.
3) Given is the Allowed Speed
Limit which is 100 km/h
4) The formula to determine
LTH is the L20 Method:
LTH = k x L20
THRESHOLD LUMINANCE

CONSIDERATION IN CALCULATION
L20 = LC + LR + LE
L20 = 8 + 3 + 8 kcd/m2
L20 = 19,000 cd/m2

CONSIDERATION IN CALCULATION
L20 = 19,000 cd/m2
L20 = 19,000 cd/m2 x 3%
L20 = 570 cd/m2
LTH = k x L20
LTH = 0.08 x 570 cd/m2
LTH = 45.6 cd/m2
FOR SHORT TUNNELS: 45.6 cd/m2 x 50%
LTH = 22.8 cd/m2

TARGET VALUES: WALL GRAZE
King Fahad Road being one of Riyadh’s busiest streets, is bustling with lighted buildings
and multiple road lighting posts and highmasts, thus we can consider it to have high
ambient light level with an average vertical target of 560 lux from beginning to the end
of the wall sign.
