Euramet, the European Association of National Metrology Institutes, funded in 2017 within the European Metrology Programme for Innovation and Research (EMPIR) the project 16NRM02 SURFACE “Pavement surface characterisation for smart and efficient road lighting”.

Task of SURFACE consortium is to solve the current shortcomings on road surface photometry knowledge: providing an analysis of the current state of measurement devices and methods, ensure the traceability chain on luminance coefficient measurements, building a database of current pavements reflectance, suggesting new measurement geometries and investigating additional aspects for road users safety needs related to visual conditions and pavement reflectance knowledge.

Main objective is to provide CIE and CEN with new reference data of present road surfaces, new reference geometries for pavements measurement useful for all road users.

Due to COVID-19 impact SURFACE is ending December 2020, and all in-presence events have been cancelled. To share SURFACE results, the consortium is organizing a series of live webinar in the months before the end of the project

Please note: SURFACE and CIE TC 4-50 share the same objectives and have a long history of strong and fruitful relationship: at the end of each SURFACE Webinar event, a CIE TC4-50 meeting will follow.

The presentations will be live, recorded and put available on the SURFACE web site.

The webinar link will be shared in a subsequent email two days before the event.

SURFACE closing event – CANCELLED

***This event is cancelled ***

The project SURFACE is ending in June 2020. During the CIE Division 4, the SURFACE consortium will present to stakeholders, CIE TC4-50 members and road lighting communities (designers, managers, IT,…) the results achieved at the end of the 3 years project.

Venue: CIE Division 4 Ostrava
Date: May 20, from 10:00 to 15:30

Third project meeting

The third SURFACE project meeting took place at Cerema in Strasbourg (FR) on September 4-5 2019.

Report from the second stakeholder meeting

On June 21, 2019, the second SURFACE stakeholder meeting took place in Washington DC (US). The day was filled with interesting discussions and the SURFACE consortium received lots of input.

Right now, the consortium are working on a first proposal regarding new geometries for road surface characterisation, and the reference materials production is on going – the first samples are being tested right now. The consortium has also just started preparing the protocol for the intercomparison on luminance coefficient.

SURFACE in the news of EURAMET

EURAMET (European Metrology Association of National Metrology Institutes), financier of SURFACE, is paying attention to the SURFACE project on their website – read the article here.

Report from the first stakeholder meeting

On May 25, the first SURFACE stakeholder meeting took place in Berlin. The day was filled with interesting discussions and the SURFACE consortium received lots of input.

Following the suggestions of the stakeholders, SURFACE are planning to arrange the next stakeholder meeting in 2019 during an international event of “road management and engineering and design”.

Invitation to stakeholder meeting

The SURFACE project has been launched 8 months ago and we are pleased to invite you to the First Stakeholder meeting.

The stakeholder meeting will be in Berlin on Friday, May 25 afternoon (from 14:00 to 17:00) at the Technical University of Berlin. The meeting is open to all audience and we invite you to sign as a stakeholder of the project. Being a stakeholder does not involve economic engagements, but gives the opportunity of being involved in the project.

The meeting will be a satellite event of the CIE Division 4 annual meeting and of CIE Expert Workshop “A new Vision of Visibility for Roadway Lighting”.

The members of the SURFACE consortium will present the project main objectives and will share the first results achieved, as well they will announce the First Measurement Intercomparison on q luminance coefficient, open to all collaborators with portable and laboratory measuring devices, we will introduce also the measurement facilities we are building up for European Road Lighting Community.

It will be a great time for sharing experiences and research and ideas on the topic!

We have reserved a large time for discussion because we are interested to listen to your needs: being a stakeholder is a way to influence research and also being informed on the latest project news.
