188 INDUSTRIAL Pedestrian crossing system Lighting for pedestrian crossings The EN 13201-2:2003 and the national guidelines recommend additional local and specific lighting of pedestrian crossings to guarantee an effective contrast of the pedestrian on the street surface. As drivers approaches the pedestrian crossing, they must be able to distinguish a pedestrian clearly without any glare. The lighting on the vertical plane must be significantly greater than on the horizontal plane. ERAL has designed a compliant, efficient and high performance solution thanks to the use of LED combined with specifically designed asymmetrical optics. The lamp post heads with P.C. (pedestrian crossing) optics system are the perfect solution for lighting pedestrian crossings. Safety, efficiency, comfort One out of every four fatal car accidents in which pedestrians are involved takes place on pedestrian crossings. A recent study conducted in Europe showed that one crossing out of five is not safely lit. Obviously, better and compliant lighting could prevent many accidents. Linea Light, using technical know-how accumulated over many years of experience, presents a range of fixtures designed specifically for correct lighting of pedestrian crossings thanks to the use of highly efficient LEDs combined with special optics. Performance, efficiency and visual comfort are the main characteristics of our light fixtures. The P.C. optics system directs the light toward the centre of the pedestrian crossing (zone A) and toward the area that surrounds the zebra stripes (zone B), thereby guaranteeing maximum safety and facilitating the view from a distance of the pedestrians on the crossing and curbside.
