摘要:
A process, system and procedure of controls of the supply of a vehicle headlamp suitable to supply lighting in high beam function and/or low beam function, comprising the following stages for at least one of the low beam function and high beam functions: determining at least one driving parameter pertinent to the lighting of the vehicle, defining several lighting modes characterized by the value of this at least one parameter, attributing a supply mode of the headlamp to each lighting mode, and storing in memory the supply mode associated with each of the lighting modes.

A digital display apparatus for a vehicle includes an optical engine that includes a light source, a reflection type digital light deflector that has a plurality of micro mirror elements, a light irradiation unit that irradiates reflected light from the reflection type digital light deflector on a road surface and the like, and an information display unit. The reflection type digital light deflector digitally switches over a direction of reflection of a light from the optical engine between an ON and an OFF state. The information display unit displays information using a contrast between the ON reflected light and an OFF reflected light from the reflection type digital light deflector on the road surface and the like through the light irradiation unit.

A steering angle detected by a steering angle sensor is filtered to be used for changing a responsiveness of controlling an axis orientation of headlights of a vehicle. Based on the filtered steering angle, the axis orientations of the headlights are thereby controlled for being laterally swiveled. This leads to relieving a driver from being bothered by a feeling of strangeness irrespective of a state where the vehicle is rectilinearly traveling or turning around a curve, resulting in providing preferable swivel control meeting driver's sensibility.

The apparatus for automatically adjusting a direction of a light axis of a vehicle headlight includes a steering angle sensor detecting a steering angle of a steering wheel of a vehicle, and a swivel control unit performing a swivel control by which the direction of the light axis of the vehicle headlight is adjusted to the target direction in accordance with the steering angle detected by the steering angle sensor. The swivel control unit varies sensitivity or responsiveness of the swivel control depending on a value of the steering angle detected by the steering angle sensor.

摘要:
A control unit of a vehicular headlamp apparatus can selectively perform steering angle control and navigation-cooperative control. The steering angle control operates a drive mechanism based on a steering angle and a speed of a vehicle to control a headlamp's swivel angle. The navigation-cooperative control operates the drive mechanism using a navigation unit to control the swivel angle. When a current position of the vehicle reaches an entry control start point, the control unit starts navigation-cooperative control at the entry into a curved road. The control unit finds a target swivel angle based on a curvature radius and curved road direction information about the curved road. While the vehicle moves from the entry control start point to a curved road start point, the control unit operates the drive mechanism to gradually change the headlamp's swivel angle to the target swivel angle.

A structure and method for operating a directional control system for vehicle headlights that is capable of altering the directional aiming angles of the headlights to account for changes in the operating conditions of the vehicle. One or more operating condition sensors may be provided that generate signals that are representative of a condition of the vehicle, such as road speed, steering angle, pitch, suspension height, rate of change of road speed, rate of change of steering angle, rate of change of pitch, and rate of change of suspension height of the vehicle. A controller is responsive to the sensor signal for generating an output signal. An actuator is adapted to be connected to the headlight to effect movement thereof in accordance with the output signal. The controller can include a table that relates values of sensed operating condition to values of the output signal. The controller is responsive to the sensor signal for looking up the output signal in the table.
摘要:
In a vehicular lamp system for an automotive vehicle, a first reflector (11201) equipped with a light source, a second reflector (11202) enabled to deflect a reflection direction thereof toward a vehicular turn direction independently of the first reflector, and a driving section (2) that operatively performs a deflection drive for the first and second reflectors are provided. A controller (3) controls the driving section(s) on the basis of a vehicular velocity detected by a vehicular velocity detector (6) and a steering angle detected by a vehicular steering angle detector (5) in such a manner that the second reflector is deflected toward the vehicular turn direction according to the detected steering angle when the detected vehicular velocity falls in an extremely low vehicular velocity range and that the first reflector is deflected toward the vehicular turn direction according to the steering angle when the detected vehicular velocity falls in a high vehicular velocity range.

摘要:
A front lamp steering controlled light distribution system is disclosed having a light distribution means movable to vary a light distribution pattern to right and left maximum limit positions in cornering areas of a vehicle, and a control means responsive to a turned on state of a head lamp switch for actuating the light distribution means to cause the light distribution pattern to be varied according to a steering direction signal, indicative of an incremental steering angle of a steering wheel, in the absence of a vehicle speed signal, indicative of a vehicle speed less than a given value, and operative to drive the light distribution means to cause the light distribution pattern to be fixedly directed to the maximum limit position in response to an indicator direction signal, output from a blinker condition detection means (14), in the presence of the vehicle speed signal.
