Abstract

This thesis performs an analysis of the current state of street lighting in Copenhagen from a bicycle perspective. The thesis presents results from a case study of selected streets in Copenhagen including an analysis of the photometric performance of current street lighting solutions, and the resulting user experience for cyclists. The current design paradigm for street lighting in Copenhagen is examined through the analysis of current regulation and planning documents. Based on the performed analyses, the thesis proposes seven new design principles aimed at creating better street lighting for cyclists.
