Experiment 1: A survey on the aesthetic and psychological responses of users of pedestrian areas at night to different types of lighting, conducted in a laboratory using controlled simulations of a nighttime environment with modified photographs. Experiment 2: Assessment of the sense of safety and visual comfort under various configurations and lighting parameters of public lighting—a comparison of conditions during daytime and nighttime. The experiment was conducted in a real-world environment on streets with varying lighting. Experiment 3: Experimental determination of the minimum required illuminance and its uniformity so that pedestrians can still recognize all or at least most obstacles that could pose a tripping hazard or even a fall on the traffic surface. The experiment was conducted in a real-world environment.20262026-03-25 14:28:53Neznano181117slLjubljana, Slovenija2023, 2024, 2025
