Start Date:
-Summary:
TRB will conduct a webinar on Thursday, November 19, 2015, from 2:00-3:30PM ET that will present information about adaptive lighting technology. This technology, which uses light only when and where it is needed, allows states the ability to adjust lighting levels and roadway appearance. The Federal Highway Administration had conducted a recent strategic initiative in which the application of adaptive lighting for high speed roadways has been studied. This webinar will present a series of guidelines and application approaches for the implementation of this technology.
Webinar Outline
- Introduction: assessing the benefits of adaptive roadway lighting
- Linking roadway lighting to crash safety
- Design criteria for adaptive lighting
- Experience with adaptive lighting
- Question and answer session
The first 60 minutes of the webinar will be for presentations and the final 30 minutes will be reserved for audience questions. The Registered Continuing Education Program (RCEP) categorizes this webinar activity as relating to health, safety, and welfare including core technical.
Learning Objectives:
At the end of this webinar, participants will be able to:
- Discuss the current adaptive technology
- Discuss the approaches and guidelines for the application of adaptive roadway lighting
- Apply adaptive lighting technologies
