roadway lighting effects

Effects of fixed roadway and street lighting on driving: pole-mounted luminaires, intersection and highway lighting design, illuminance and uniformity, lit-versus-unlit crash and detection comparisons, and lighting color temperature. Concerns infrastructure lighting external to the vehicle, distinct from the car's own headlamps (headlamp_performance) and adaptive beam control (adaptive_driving_beam).
