Abstract :
Here it is presented a system able to perform automatic measurements, according to national and international standards, of the illuminance and the luminance produced by a road lighting system. Even if it requires the road under analysis is closed, it reduces highly the required time for qualifying a road lighting plant. The description of the system is presented together some exemplifying measurement results carried out on real road lighting system.
