An apparatus for measuring glare in ETC gantry lighting, which apparatus belongs to the field of highway
ambient lighting detection. The apparatus comprises a locator (1), a reflected
signal demodulator (3-1), a reflected
signal sensor (3-2), a transmitted
signal modulator (4-1), a signal
transmitter (4-2), a transmitted signal demodulator (5-1), a transmitted signal sensor (5-2), a transmissive-reflective mirror set (6), detectors (7, 8), an upper vertical
illuminance detector (9), cameras (10, 11, 12), and a switcher (14). Further provided is a method for measuring glare in ETC gantry lighting. The reflectance and luminance of the ground below an ETC gantry are measured to obtain a ground luminance calculation formula, so as to realize the acquisition of ground luminance at a
short distance, thereby solving the problems of there being relatively excessive external
stray light interference caused by the use of a
luminance meter, etc. for long-distance luminance measurement, and the measurement accuracy of the
luminance meter decreasing when the distance is relatively long; moreover, by means of supplementary light luminance at different orders of magnitude which are acquired by means of switcher blades having different light transmittances, integrating with the sensitivity advantages of left and right cameras in a
high luminance region and a low luminance region, a
system error is reduced, thereby obtaining an accurate comprehensive
illuminance value.
