Abstract

The objective of this project is to arrive at a rational energy use in transport. The innovative aspect of this project is that highway lighting levels will be modified according to weather and traffic conditions. By making more effective use of road lighting, an energy reduction of some 20% can be achieved in both the Netherlands and in a number of European member states. This leads to a reduction in carbon dioxide emissions, and therefore a cleaner environment. Traffic safety can be improved by a factor of some 10%, so far as injuries and fatal accidents are concerned. However, traffic behaviour differs in each of the European member states. The improvement percentage in traffic safety among the member states is therefore difficult to indicate.
