Overview

Background & policy context:

Based on the aims for the reorganization of the financial adjustment and the task sharing between federal and cantonal governments, today the federal government is the manager and building-owner of the national highways. In accordance to this situation the need for a standardization of tunnel lighting is given. A coordination of the Maintenance is also necessary.

Objectives:

 The project has to achieve the following goals:

  • Standardization of lighting technology
  • Optimization of lighting systems regarding energy conservation, especially with the focus on new technologies
  • Optimization of lighting systems regarding life cycle costs, replacement aspects including installation techniques
  • Proposals for the lighting concept and the system selection for all tunnel areas including the tunnel entry
  • More efficient system engineering
  • Evaluation of lighting systems regarding optical guidance

Methodology:

In the following, the decisive characteristic  with regard to the methodology are shown:

  • The parent methodological approach is that all the parameters crowdfunding

Tunnel lighting is analyzed and their cost elements are determined. These are the basis for cost optimization.

  •  The aspects of safety are based on risk analysis

This concerns both the traffic safety and security aspects related to extraordinary events. The necessary bases can be searched and appreciated.

  • The optimization of energy use for lighting based on profitability calculations.

Also in this area data are available.
