Lighting Design

The quality and effect of the technical lighting rest on the physiological principles of the human seeing and perception of light. The colour and lamp current of the luminary accumulate a homogeneous ambient lighting in rail vehicles. This results in the pleasant comfort and well-being of the passengers.

Therefore the systematic light-technical preliminary investigations, depending on the performance requirements, occur at the beginning of design and manufacturing of the lighting systems. The positions of the lighting are worked out, exemplified by a number of parameters as for the geometry and seats arrangement of a respective rail vehicle as well as its reflection surfaces according to the defined conditions and with the help of characteristics of the luminaries. Following this, the dynamical and energetically efficient lighting is designed. Originating in an iterative process, a virtual light planning is set aside at the respective parts of the vehicle or at the front and end part of the vehicle and aligned with the specific standardized requirements concerning the light intensity.

These plans form the working basis for the designers and developing engineers of our enterprise.
