Application of LED in railway traffic lighting

Rail transit lighting mainly includes track lighting, such as car and locomotive and city rail transit lighting, such as subway and rail etc.. LED has the advantages of high energy saving, safety, environmental protection, high vibration resistance, high reliability and excellent color rendering index. Currently, in some of the developed rail transit city, has been through the use of tender or demonstration of the use of LED, related product development is also carried out, but the main focus in Shenzhen, Hongkong and other cities.

Wang Gang, President of the Foshan Institute of Zhongshan University, said the use of LED in urban rail transit lighting has the characteristics of system integration, involving LED indoor, outdoor and other applications. For example, subway car lighting requirements close to indoor lighting, subway underground corridor, corridor lighting requirements close to commercial lighting, etc.. At present, LED has not been widely used in rail traffic lighting, but its application potential is huge. LED suitable for rail transit lighting environment, once the product has been recognized, will be fully adopted. At the same time, in the context of the state to increase infrastructure construction, subway, high-speed rail and other rapid development, many of the new subway are considered using LED, LED is very broad prospects for the application of rail transit.
