Title:

Portable Light and Glare Measurement System (Lumetra)

Value Proposition:

Provides road/transport/illumination professionals a reliable, portable instrument to quantify light and glare on site (real-time), replace subjective visual checks with objective data, speed up audits and safety studies, and deliver analysable datasets for design/retrofit/maintenance decisions. This reduces time and error compared with manual observations and costly lab setups.

Summary Application:

The system can be used for road and highway safety audits to assess headlight glare and illumination levels, street-lighting and tunnel-lighting evaluations, parking and public-space illumination audits, transportation and driver-glare studies, industrial and plant lighting compliance checks, occupational safety inspections, and research or municipal infrastructure surveys that require accurate, on-site measurement of light and glare.

Advantages:

• True field portability and ruggedness for on-site use.
• Multiple-sensor architecture for accurate, spatially relevant measurements.
• Wireless connectivity for live data transfer plus local data logging for offline analysis.
• Built-in analysis/statistics to identify trends and produce actionable reports.
