世界首条全led照明公路在荷兰诞生

   行驶在荷兰最繁忙的高速公路之一上的驾车者现在可以更安全和持续的驱车，由于世界首条全led照明高速公路项目的竣工。

   飞利浦—与RWS（荷兰公路管理局），承包商Gebroeders Van der Lee合作—在A44公路安装了7公里长的led照明。A44公路是进出阿姆斯特丹最繁忙的高速公路之一。这条公路将在二月份正式启动新式照明。

  官方（如RWS）越来越寻求那些既节能又符合安全规范和照明标准的新式照明方案。在这种思路下，A44公路使用 了飞利浦的流星led方案。这种高效节能的灯具采用了独特的调光技术，可在道路非高峰阶段动态将光输出和能耗降低到安全阈值，并能在高峰时段自动地增大光输出。

With around 60% of the energy consumed by the Netherlands’ motorways and waterways used for lighting, the Philips installation on the A44 will save some 180,000 kWh per year – the equivalent energy consumption of 50 households. The Philips LED and dimming solution on the A44 will save more up to 40% of the energy currently consumed by the previously lighting on the highway, with a similar reduction in CO2 emissions from the energy use. The RWS also aims to use the A44 installation to learn more about the use of innovative LED-based lighting solutions on Dutch highways.

“The aim for our collaboration with the Rijkswaterstaat is to implement lighting solutions that both save energy and require less maintenance work on the roads,” Frank van der Vloed, General Manager, Philips Lighting Benelux told Tachoblog.

“Together, we will help provide a safe night time driving experience while helping to lower energy consumption.”

In making use of state-of-the-art LED lighting technology, the Philips Speedstar installation on the A44 ensures that all of the luminaire’s bright, white light is focused on the highway, significantly minimizing light pollution that can otherwise be distracting for local residents as well as animals.

A further benefit of the Speedstar application is that the longer lifetime of LED lighting, coupled with the ability to remotely monitor the installation via from a central control, will help minimize maintenance needs. This will both lower operational costs and improve traffic planning to avoid disruption to road use.
