Procedure for existing tunnels The luminance meter and tripod (D.1.1) should be placed in the centre of the carriageway approaching the tunnel at a height of 1.5 m above the road surface and aimed… Measurements should be taken on several days when the sun is shining. Conditions with white clouds in the sky, particularly in the field of measurement, should be included as they can produce a higher value of L20. Any situation where the sun enters the A series of measurements should be taken at both ends of the tunnel around the times when the maximum L20 values are reached, and should be plotted against time. Procedure for planned tunnels Where a tunnel is yet to be constructed, L20 measurements should be made from positions corresponding to where the new road will be. The luminance meter should be aimed at the point to be occupied by the tunnel entrance. Measurements should be taken as detailed in D.2.2. |
