In recent years,with the continuous improvement of urbanization level,the tunnel construction projects have also been increasing.As an important part of tunnel construction,the tunnel lighting design is of great significance for urban road traffic safety.Based on the summary and understanding of tunnel lighting engineering design experience in recent years,the tunnel lighting is briefly overviewed and the design principles of tunnel lighting are introduced.The design measures of tunnel lighting are analyzed in detail from several aspects such as the design standard of tunnel lighting,selection of lighting sources,layout of lighting fixtures,emergency lighting system,lighting distribution system and lighting control mode.Taking the Chenghuang Road Tunnel in Kunming as an example,the design concept of tunnel lighting is elaborated in detail for reference.
