Niko Smets Sales Manager Schréder BE

As traffic keeps increasing, the freedom we traditionally associate with cars is no longer a reality. Cycling has become more efficient than driving. As a regular cyclist, I experience it a lot, even for medium distances. But the benefits are not only related to the time saved. When I cycle to work, I am getting my daily exercise, I feel more relaxed and I’m contributing directly to the reduction of CO 2 emissions. At Schréder, we are engaged in acting responsibly for a sustainable future. As more and more people are using cycling infrastructure, it is definitely worth investing in quality bike paths! With our knowledge and expertise, we can help your city create the best conditions for cycling, with the highest efficiency and the lowest impact on the ecosystem. Changing the way we commute, live, work and play

Lighting bicycle paths is essential to provide a secure route, to ensure safety (subjective and objective) for cyclists

and to guide them on their way. It also increases comfort.

The European Committee for Standardization (CEN) has established a series of standards for public lighting ( EN 13201-x Road Lighting ). For cycling facilities, these standards provide recommendations for the level of illumination according to the layout of the road and the (relative) positioning of the bicycle paths, the presence or absence of speed-reducing devices, the risk of aggression and the possible need for facial recognition. In general, a value of between 5 and 10 lux is recommended for bicycle paths. The lighting must enable cyclists to follow their route safely , regardless of the time and the season, otherwise the bicycle path risks being under-used. The lighting must also allow cyclists to easily see obstacles in their path and to understand

the marking on the ground. This is known as horizontal illuminance. It measures the amount of light hitting the surface in lux. The lighting should also make all vertical objects clearly visible. It is important for cyclists to be able to read signposts, to identify nearby buildings and to see cyclists or pedestrian coming towards them. It is also essential that motorists can see them, if the bicycle path is beside or near a road. The illumination of these vertical objects (traffic signs, cyclist’s shadow, etc.) provides what is known as vertical illuminance. It is measured 1.5m above the road. The level of illumination should be as uniform as possible and always prevent pools of darkness.

9

Cycling infrastructure How to optimise the various layouts Several types of bicycle path exist. All of them have their specificities and require dedicated lighting solutions.

10

Road-marked bicycle lanes

Markings on the ground that show arrows and a cyclist act as a visual reminder that the road is used by bicycles and cars. Striped lanes with a cyclist in the middle or buffered bike lanes are the area of the road reserved for cyclists. These are not real bicycle paths.

How do we light them? In this case, the bicycle lanes are part of the road. We propose luminaires with the right light distribution to cover the entire surface, including the lanes. In full compliance with CEN 13201-1, we select the light distribution that respects class -1 of the main road for the bicycle lane.

11

Cycling infrastructure

Cycle tracks

A cycle track is located next to the road, but is made distinct from both the pavement and general purpose road by elevation differences, barriers or vegetation.

How do we light them? We recommend using poles with luminaires mounted on two types of brackets: one fixed at 6 to 10 metres for the main road and another, at the back of the pole and at a lower height, for the cycle track. The rear bracket allows the luminaire lighting the cycle track to be offset to use extensive light distribution, matching the spacing of the poles for the road lighting.

12

Bicycle paths

A bicycle path is a bikeway separated from motorised traffic. It is dedicated to cycling or shared with pedestrians or other non-motorised users.

How do we light them? The lighting columns should not impact the width of the path. We use our highly efficient luminaires, dedicated to low-height (4 to 6.3m) installations with a spacing of 6 to 8xh to respect the P4 class, enabling cyclists to see 30 to 40m ahead. Depending on the environment, we use light distributions that can overflow up to 1.5m on both sides of the bike path.

13

Cycling infrastructure

Road crossings

Cycle tracks or bicycle paths can sometimes cross main roads. In these difficult zones where cyclists meet motorists, safety is the absolute priority. Barriers, marking and lighting protect the most vulnerable users.

How do we light them? At 50km/h, motorists have a narrow field of vision and need 28m to stop (13.5m at 30km/h). For these difficult zones, we use the same specific lighting distributions as with pedestrian crossings to provide a high level of vertical luminance. We combine them with cool white LEDs to ensure the sharpest contrast that helps motorists to see cyclists crossing the road.

14

Underpasses

To avoid crossing roads, underpasses are often created. They provide shortcuts and enable cyclists to avoid motorised traffic.

How do we light them? Cyclists should feel comfortable in these enclosed areas where they naturally perceive a higher risk of danger. We apply higher lighting levels and provide vandal- and waterproof linear lighting fixtures such as our MY1 LED or our SCULPLINE range. We can combine them with motion sensors to dim the lighting levels when the underpass is not being used.

15

Cycling infrastructure

Bridges

Cities that consider mobility and the bicycle user experience as high priorities have built a lot of bicycle bridges. Some of them have become really remarkable structures in the landscape.

How do we light them? As the architectural aspect is crucial, we tend to integrate the lighting into the structure of the bridge. We can create custom handrail lighting systems to light the deck while we use our SCULP LED floodlight range to enhance the structure with coloured lighting schemes.

Challenges and solutions 6 solutions that go the extra mile

1 Ensuring

the utmost safety

Subjective safety is the feeling or perception of safety. However, there are objective criteria to define that a bike path is safe. It must have a high level of uniformity to prevent patches on the ground. Cyclists must be able to clearly see uneven surfaces and obstacles. It should guide cyclists so that they can easily follow the markings. The right vertical illuminance level is key for facial recognition or reading signs . It also helps to see other cyclists coming from the opposite direction. As e-bikes can go up to 45km/h (12,5m/s), it is essential that cyclists can quickly spot hazards such as unexpected bends, steep drops, barriers or intersections. Different colour temperatures can be used for difficult zones such as crossroads.

Schréder luminaires

With the TECEO S and IZYLUM 1 or 2, widely recognised by independent bodies, Schréder offers a large range of lighting solutions optimised for bike paths . The combination of the right lumen package (from 600 to 15,000lm) and the right light distribution enables our application engineers to propose the best configurations to meet the safety challenge .

Challenges and solutions

for all users 2 Performance cannot be compromised at the expense of comfort. As bike paths require luminaires to be installed at low mounting heights, it is crucial to limit glare . Not all solutions are able to provide the level of visual comfort end users expect. Cyclists also want to clearly see their surroundings, be able to read signs and recognise other users. The quality of light plays an important role in colour recognition . When it comes to providing the right light in the right place at the right time, light-on-demand can ensure that people benefit from the best conditions in a given environment. This is particularly true for bicycle paths where the activity at night can vary a lot.

Providing comfort

Schréder luminaires

Schréder sets high standards in terms of glare control (G class) and colour rendering (CRI). TECEO S, for instance, respects the G*4 class to offer a high level of visual comfort. It also delivers a gentle, warm white light with a colour rendering index of 80, to show colours as they are during natural daylight, for a better experience. As it can be equipped with an optional integrated motion detection sensor (PIR), TECEO S is ready to create intelligent lighting scenarios that maximise safety and comfort for cyclists.

3 Optimising

the resources

Lighting accounts for a large part of a city’s energy bill, yet with the right technology and the right partner, it can be considerably reduced. The relevance of an investment has to be measured over time, considering the savings it provides in terms of energy and maintenance costs over the years . Quality products offer high efficiency and high performance photometries that enable the spacing between the poles to be increased, reducing the number of lighting points per kilometre and optimising the use of energy . The savings can be further extended with control features, including dimming and motion detection options.

Schréder luminaires

Schréder prevents excessive lighting by providing the best solution to ensure that only the necessary energy will be used , taking into account the natural output depreciation over time (maintenance factor). The IZYLUM 1 and IZYLUM 2 have been optimised for low-height applications such as bicycle path lighting. Ultra-compact, energy efficient (up to 172lm/W) and available with high performing light distributions, they offer long term performance (LED lifetime of 100,000h or 25 years) and optimise the total cost of ownership. With a very low power consumption, that can be reduced further by integrating sensors, IZYLUM provides a cost-effective solution for any type of bicycle path .

FutureProof and vandal proof

Schréder solutions

In public areas where there is little activity, vandalism might occur. This could be the case for bike paths in the suburbs or between two towns. It is important to consider the robustness of the lighting installation . Bicycle infrastructure may need to be extended or adapted over time. It is worth investing in systems that can be easily expanded and updated .

Schréder’s philosophy is to design and develop FutureProof products for circular economy. They can be upgraded at any time. With our wireless control systems, you can also easily extend an installation by adding new luminaires. Our vandal-proof (IK 09) TECEO S and IZYLUM luminaires are built to last .

Preventing bike theft

Schréder solutions

SHUFFLE offers a unique solution for bicycle parks: while comfortable ambiance lighting creates attractive places, state-of-the-art surveillance cameras , with digital zoom or fully motorised control, keep an eye on bikes. SHUFFLE deters people with bad intentions and provides a sense of security. It can also offer charging stations for e-bikes.

With e-bikes becoming more and more popular, they are being targeted by thieves. Bike theft is on the rise, matching the growing popularity of this alternative mode of transport. Protected bicycle parks can help prevent these thefts.

6 Preserving wildlife and the environment In some areas, bat roosts can be present. Trees and

hedgerows are natural environments for bats while rivers and canals are also important for foraging. Certain species of bat are very sensitive to light . Installing inappropriate lighting can destroy feeding areas and prevent bats from moving through the landscape. Yet bats are not the only animals that need to be protected from light spill and uncontrolled lighting. Fauna and flora can suffer from high light intensity, the colour spectrum (blue light) and excessive lighting over time. Only experts can minimise the disturbance to the different species of fish, insects and endangered animals.

Schréder solutions

The Schréder PureNight photometry meets dark-sky specifications (0% ULOR) and take advantage of new accessories (backlight control and glare limiter) to focus the light only on the bicycle path. Schréder’s FlexiWhite solution combines dimming and colour temperature changes according to fixed or on-demand scenarios with sensors for safe and environmentally-friendly lighting.

Control solutions Flexibility, maximised savings and enhanced comfort Our smart solutions ensure that we provide the right light at all times in the right places. They minimise energy consumption, facilitate network expansion, optimise maintenance operations and asset management while offering the best user experience. We offer a full range of solutions, from basic dimming features to full remote management systems.

28

Autonomous local network with motion sensors Luminaires equipped with OWLET LUCO AD controllers can create a closed network that provides light-on- demand scenarios with motion sensors. The lighting levels are dimmed most of the time to maximise energy savings. When cyclists arrive, the sensors detect their presence and the luminaires ahead of them increase the light output to deliver the best conditions in terms of safety and comfort. Thanks to the wireless communication between the luminaires, sensors can be installed in the most appropriate places . The network can be expanded at any moment as it only means adding new luminaires to the loop. Scenarios can also be changed over time to adapt to new situations.

30

PIR or radar?

When it comes to choosing a detection device, how do you choose between PIR and radar? It is a matter of flexibility and cost. Traditional motion sensors have been designed using PIR as it is a cost-effective and simple detection device . The PIR sensor detects changes in the amount of infrared radiation. A radar uses the Doppler principle to determine an object’s motion, speed and direction. So the required features will ultimately dictate the choice of technology. Is distance important? If so, take into account that PIR sensors have a detection range of roughly 5 metres. Radar can work within a range of 2 to over 30 metres. If the speed and direction of the moving object are key parameters, radar is the best solution as it can detect both characteristics.
