Abstract

The most important effect of road lighting is that accidents can be prevented. It also improves the visibility of pedestrians and ensures that drivers can travel safely and comfortably. In road lighting, while photometric values in international standards are provided, it also required to be economical at the same time. In Turkey, the amount of energy spent for lighting between 1970-2016 constitutes 2.6% of total energy. There are various methods to save energy from road lighting, which constitutes a large part of the amount of electricity consumed. In this study, firstly, the light sources used in road lighting are examined and the advantages of LED lamps are emphasized. In the road lighting to be implemented in Turkey, the effect of the conversion project to LED light sources on energy saving was mentioned. In addition, the study logic and differences of intelligent road lighting systems were mentioned and compared with energy saving. These methods have been compared in terms of energy saving and economical contribution without compromising the safety of drivers and pedestrians.
