| Summary
Simply
Roadway is a simple, step-driven application targeted
at quickly determining the optimal pole spacing for
roadway applications. It conforms to IESNA RP-8-00 and
CIE design criteria. An ideal product for anyone creating
roadway lighting designs.
- Generate
custom multi-lane roadway configurations quickly and
easily.
- Calculate
point-by-point horizontal illuminance, roadway luminance,
and veiling luminance ratios for straight sections
of roadway.
- Calculate
the optimum spacing for up to 8 different design criteria
to meet your illuminance, roadway luminance, and veiling
luminance ratio targets.
- Easily
adhere to IES RP-8 and CIE guidelines and specifications.
- Instantly
calculate the illuminance level for a specified number
of luminaires.
- Compare
up to four different roadway layouts simultaneously.
- Perform
simple system cost comparisons.
- Generate
complete, professional looking reports that include
scaled drawings, shaded plots, and contour maps

Features for 2002
- IESNA
RP-8-00 Design Criteria
- includes Small Target Visibility (STV) calculations
and changes for Pedestrian Conflict Areas
- Pedestrian
Grids - you can now define pedestrian grids parallel
to the roadway to determine the effect of roadway
lighting on sidewalks, bike paths, etc
- Full
Roadway Grid - a full-length analysis grid was
added
- Interactive
View - allows you to 'drive' the roadway and visualize
lighting effects
- Improved
Statistics - summary clarifies useful results
and statistics are shown for each grid
- Improved
Output - ability to select grids and metrics independently
- Improved
Interface - larger screens, more views

| Step
#1 : Define Roadway
Enter
the roadway dimensions, add a median and specify roadway
design metric (IESNA, CIE, or your own). You can
also select trafflic flow (one-way or two-way). |
 |
| Step
#2 : Select Fixtures
Select
your roadway fixture from our extensive, industry-wide
product library (included) or choose a loose photometric
file (all major formats supported). You can compare
up to 4 systems side-by-side to determine the most effective
solution. |
 |
| Step
#3 : Design Criteria
Specify
the design criteria you wish to design for (including:
IESNA Illuminance/Luminance and CIE). Values are defaulted
based on the design criteria selected. The software
will optimize against up to 9 different design criteria
simultaneously. |
 |
| Step
#4 : Optimize / Calculate
Select
your pole configuration (ie. one-side, staggered, median
mount) and click Optimize. The software determines the
maximum spacing that meets your design criteria. Feel
free to enter your own pole spacing. You can also
add a full-length grid and pedestrian grids (sidewalk,
bike paths, etc). |
 |
| Step
#5 : View Results
Review
the results for any grid, any metric. You can view text
values, contours, or a shaded plot. Statistics are shown
for each. You can also use the Interactive View to
visualize the roadway in 3D - 'driving' along the roadway. |
 |
| Step
#6 : Output
Create
your design report including a dimensioned summary,
comparison page (when selecting multiple fixture options),
and grid results. Add project and client information
to each page. |
