COST-EFFECTIVENESS ANALYSIS OF ROADWAY LIGHTING SYSTEMS

THIS RESEARCH WAS INITIATED TO INVESTIGATE AND REPORT COST-EFFECTIVENESS RELATIONSHIPS FOR VARIOUS ROADWAY LIGHTING DESIGN CRITERIA AND ROADWAY GEOMETRY. FIVE EXPERIMENTAL ROADWAY LIGHTING DESIGNS WERE COMPARED ON A COST BASIS, WITH INITIAL, MAINTENANCE, AND ACCIDENT COSTS AS CONSIDERATIONS. BASED ON THE COST INFORMATION DATA PRESENTED IN THE STUDY, CONCLUSIONS WERE DRAWN AS TO THE LIGHTING DESIGNS MOST SUITABLE FOR THE VARIOUS TYPES OF ROADWAY CONFIGURATIONS. /AUTHOR/
