The International Commission on Illumination (CIE) will hold the workshop “Future Topics in Road Lighting” on 13–14 October 2026 in conjunction with the annual meeting of CIE Division 4. The event is organised in collaboration with the Italian National Committee of the CIE, the Italian Association of Lighting Manufacturers (ASSIL), and the Italian Lighting Association (AIDI), and hosted by the National Metrology Institute of Italy (INRiM) in Torino.
The workshop will begin on the afternoon of 13 October and conclude by lunchtime on 14 October.
CIE Division 4 and Technical Committee meetings will take place at the same venue from 14 to 15 October. These meetings are scheduled to conclude on the afternoon of 15 October, by 13:30 local time.
The workshop will address key themes and cross-disciplinary aspects expected to shape the future of road lighting, including:
- Adaptive lighting systems
- Road surface characterization of current road surfaces
- The illuminated road environment for all users
- Obtrusive and ecological lighting impacts
- Challenges related to autonomous and assisted vehicle sensors
- Emerging recommendations and new calculation approaches for road lighting
The event is designed to foster open discussion among chairs, invited speakers, and participants (including dedicated student opportunities), with the goal of gathering valuable input to support CIE Division 4 Transportation and Exterior Applications in developing its strategic roadmap.
Ample time will be devoted to interactive discussions and a panel session featuring a SWOT analysis of current and emerging road lighting topics.
The schedule has been designed to optimise travel logistics, minimizing overnight stays for participants attending both the workshop and the subsequent CIE meetings.
