TI Calculation SHOULD
WE CHANGE THE AGE?
In the CIE 140, there is indeed the possibility to
change the age of observer.
The initial value of K corresponds to an age of 23
years.
In practice, nobody "plays" with that possibility. Which
age would be more convenient ?
Why 23 years has been chosen ?
Finally, nobody cares about that and we all continue
to use the "default" value of 23 years. Indeed, what
argument could be found to change that ?
TI calculations
2,75 (H-1,5m)
Before - only one observer position for TI calculations
Now - observer in the initial position and repeated with the
observer moved forwards in increments which are the same
in number and distance as are used for the longitudinal
spacing D of luminance calculation points.
Example
- highway - 3 traffic lanes (Wt=3,5m), central reservation (5.5m)
- class A1 (SANS10098-1), Lav(2cd/m
2
), Uo(40%), Ul(70%), TI (15%)
- central pole position, H=13m, overhang 0m
- class R3, Qo=0,07
- BEKASTRADA SUPRA 400W HPS/T

Practical implications
No more SABS 098 program for street
lighting calculations
Slightly shorter spacings in some cases
No more encrypted data
SABS to change their measurement methods
Municipalities to change their specifications to
exclude references to ;-
Data on 3.5 inch diskettes
Encrypted data
Designs to be done with SABS 098 program
Conclusion
RSA now in line with the rest of the
world
Street lighting calculations now more
accurate ensuring greater safety for
motorists
Users and suppliers now have a choice
of which software to use
Conclusion
Software packages compatible with CIE
140 include:-
ULYSSE
RELUX
AGI32
