Abstract:
The invention relates to a lighting device for a motor vehicle (10) which has one or preferably two such lighting devices, said lighting device being designed to generate a flasher signaling function. The lighting device is paired with a controller, and when the flasher signaling function is activated, the controller actuates the lighting device such that a flasher light distribution, in particular in the shape of a high-beam distribution (LHV), is generated by the lighting device, in particular for a defined period of time, in a region in front of the motor vehicle (10). If the motor vehicle is located on a multilane roadway (FB) which can be traversed in only one direction (R) and is following a motor vehicle (20) on the lane (FS1) of the motor vehicle (10), the at least one lighting device is designed to generate a modified flasher light distribution in a manner corresponding to control commands of the controller (7), wherein solely a sub-region (LHV') of the region (LHV) which can be illuminated by the unmodified flasher light distribution is illuminated with the modified flasher light distribution.
Abstract:
Warning systems (S) and methods (M1, M2) for alerting traffic and pedestrians within a projectable area in relation to a location and path of a vehicle (100), e.g., an articulated vehicle during forward or rearward motions and turning manoeuvres. Beam(s) (98) of coherent light, e.g., high-irradiance laser light, are emitted from point(s) relative to the vehicle (100), preferably from a high angle for reducing eye exposure. Laser beam(s) map a grid on the roadway and adjacent areas of the imminent path of the turning vehicle (100), by way of a set of instructions executable by a processor. The instructions involve computing, programming, and/or updating vehicle parameters, in relation to a warning device (99), e.g., a retrofittable and/or programmable device, in response to changes in vehicle-configuration or warning system (S) location, the warning system (S) being manually or automatically triggerable in response to sensors disposed in relation to the vehicle (100).
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a light-signalling glass panel of a vehicle forming a laminated vehicle windscreen (100) including: a first glass panel (1'), forming an outer glass panel, with first and second main surfaces (11', 12') respectively referred to as surface F1 and surface F2; a lamination insert (2) made of polymer material with a thickness e1 of at most 1.8 mm; a second glass panel (1), forming an inner glass panel, with third and fourth main surfaces (11, 12) respectively referred to as surface F3 and surface F4, the surfaces F2 and F3 being the inner surfaces of the laminated glass panel; a set of diodes (4) on a so-called front surface (30) of a PCB card (3), the set having a thickness e2≤e1, each diode emitting towards the inner glass, and each diode having an edge. For each of the diodes, the lamination insert comprises a through opening (20) surrounding the edge of the diode, and the lamination insert is, additionally, between the surface F3 and the front surface of the PCB card.

Abstract:
Die Erfindung betrifft Verfahren zur Unterstützung eines Fahrers eines Fahrzeugs, insbesondere eines Nutzfahrzeugs, wobei das Fahrzeug (1), in Fahrzeug-Querrichtung (y) gesehen, seitlich außen an jeder Fahrzeugseite (12) jeweils wenigstens eine Seitenmarkierungsleuchte (11) aufweist, und wobei eine Regel- und/oder Steuereinrichtung (13) vorgesehen ist, mittels der die Beleuchtung der Seitenmarkierungsleuchten (11) regelbar und/oder steuerbar ist, Erfindungsgemäß wird die Regel- und/oder Steuereinrichtung (11) bei einer Warnsituation des Fahrzeugs (1) in einen Warnblinkmodus geschaltet, in dem die Seitenmarkierungsleuchten (11) so angesteuert werden, dass diese ein blinkendes Warnsignal anzeigen.
Abstract:
An illuminative device (100) includes a control circuit (101), an acceleration detector (102) operable with the control circuit, and a plurality of light sources (103) operable with the control circuit. The control circuit is to receive an input (108) from the acceleration detector indicating deceleration (601) exceeds a predetermined threshold (662). Upon receipt of the input, the control circuit is to deliver a time-varying control signal to continuously illuminate the plurality of light sources with an illumination level varying between a first non-zero illumination level (664) and a second non-zero illumination level (665) in accordance with a frequency of the time-varying control signal.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for controlling a light emission of a rear lamp (2) of a vehicle (7). The rear lamp (2) comprises optical components (5, 8) having emission surfaces (6, 9, 16) having at least three partial emission surfaces (6.1, 9.1, 16.1, 6.2, 9.2, 16.2, 6.3, 9.3, 16.3). Furthermore, at least a first and a second light function can be produced by means of the light emission of the emission surfaces (6, 9, 16). The method is characterized in that, after a switchover process from the first to the second light function, the first partial emission surface (6.1, 9.1, 16.1), which emits light for the first light function, emits no light, the second partial emission surface (6.2, 9.2, 16.2), which emits light for the first light function, continues to emit light, and the third partial emission surface (6.3, 9.3, 16.3), which emits no light for the first light function, emits light. The invention further relates to a device (1) for controlling the light emission of a rear lamp (2) of a vehicle (7).
