PASSME INVESTMENT

摘要

When designing your lighting scheme, a well-considered decision on the type and performance of the passive safe poles will significantly increase the overall safety level throughout the scheme without introducing further risks to the road user and others within that environment.Avid readers of Lighting Journal may recall that a little over a year ago, in the November/December 2017 edition, (Passive Protection, vol 82, no 10), I outlined an overview of the past, present and future of passive safe public lighting. But what happens when an actual crash occurs? Visitors to this year's Traffex 'Seeing is Believing' show in June were given the opportunity to view numerous crash tests and see the behaviour of a column upon impact with their own eyes. This was not only passive safe columns, but also the potential consequences of an impact with a traditional, non-passive safe column, as shown overleaf.
