At the entrance of a tunnel, reflection of sunlight from the surrounding environment and a lack of adequate lighting usually cause some vision problems. The purpose of this study is to optimize the lighting environment at the entrance of highway tunnels. Firstly, based on a highway tunnel in Zhejiang Province, the natural illumination intensity in different seasons and climate conditions inside and outside the tunnel entrance was analyzed by means of DIALux simulation software. Then the variation in illumination conditions with distance at the entrance of the tunnel was analyzed. Finally, based on the results above, this study proposes four solutions as follows: setting up a shading shed, auxiliary lighting facilities, decelerating reflective markings, and an adaptive dimming system.
