Evaluating the Influence of Road Lighting on Traffic Safety at Accesses Using An Artificial Neural Network.

CONCLUSIONS: The improvement of illuminance can decrease the speed variation among vehicles and improve the safety level. In addition, high-grade roads need better illuminance at accesses. A threshold value can also be obtained based on related variables and used to develop scientific guidelines for traffic management organizations.
