The average illuminance and luminance over a given roadway may either be calculated by means of a computer ‘and “I-Tables” (tables of luminaire distribution of lumni- ous intensity). from utilization curves and luminance yield diagrams, ar by computing oF field measurments of the illuminance and tuminance of « reasonably large ‘number of specific points on the roadway and averaging the values found. Uniformities of lurninance (Uniformity Ratios Us and U; ‘are the overall uniformity (Us) of luminance over the en tire roadway, and the longitudinal uniformites (Uy of luminance per driving lane. The overall uniformity (Uo) is the ratio of minimum luminance (Ima) found on the section of roadway evaluated (one luminaire cyele) divided ‘by the average luminance (Lava) ofthat section. The longi tudinal uniformity (U) is the ratio of minimum bum nance (Lin) found in each lane divided by the maximum luminance (imax) found in that lane, While a roadway will only have one value of U 4 , it may have several different values of Us, depending on the number of lanes, Lani veniied 308 Uniformities of illuminance (Uniformity Ratios, G, and G) are the ratios of minimum illuminance (Eqn) to either average illuminance (Eyy) yielding Gj, oF the minimum ‘luminance (Emig) 10° maximum illuminance (Ems), vielding 6.

The values of these two Jactors depend on lamp type and size, expected normal lamp replacement cycle, environmental conditions, luminaire cleaning eycle, ete.
