Final Report Lot 9: Public street lighting - Amper

Figure 8: Example of Fast Traffic (category F), Mixed Traffic (category M) and Slow
Traffic situations (category S)
This classification of street lighting serves right for the study and is according to the MEEuP
Methodology (VHK, 2005) as we are looking for product groupings that are functionally
similar. And by consequence a similar group of design options would apply to improve its
environmental performance. In the following tables, an overview is given of the classes used in
this study and their related performance requirements.
Guideline EN/TR 13201-1 and standard EN 13201-2 are summarised hereafter (simplified
version) in table 1.
