摘要: A lighting system for a vehicle having a vehicle structure. The vehicle has a vehicle speed sensor generating a vehicle speed signal. The lighting system has a housing and a lens coupled to the housing. The lens has a focal point. The system also has a plurality of light sources generating light and an actuator coupled to the lens. A controller selectively controls the actuator to move the lens relative to the light sources to change the focal point based on the vehicle speed signal.

摘要: A headlight module includes: a light source; a condensing optical unit that allows light generated by the light source to enter and transforms the light into condensed light; and a light guide member including a first cutoff line formation part that forms light in a first light distribution pattern from the condensed light, a second cutoff line formation part that forms light in a second light distribution pattern from the condensed light, a first emission surface that emits light in a first illuminance distribution pattern corresponding to the first light distribution pattern, and a second emission surface that emits light in a second illuminance distribution pattern corresponding to the second light distribution pattern. Light in a combined illuminance distribution pattern obtained by adding the light in the first illuminance distribution pattern and the light in the second illuminance distribution pattern is emitted.

摘要: A method and device for controlling at least one light module of a lamp unit of a vehicle, comprising a light controller and a surroundings detection device, the front surroundings of the vehicle being illuminated with the aid of the light controller and the light module, depending on an object classified as relevant. The lamp unit has a luminance detection device for detecting the luminances of the detected object classified as relevant in the front surroundings of the vehicle and object surroundings of the front surroundings around this object, and the front surroundings of the vehicle are illuminated, depending on the luminance contrast between the object and the object surroundings.

摘要: Various embodiments include methods and vehicles, such as an autonomous vehicle, a semi-autonomous vehicle, etc., for collaboratively directing one or more headlights by two or more vehicles. Various aspects may include receiving, by a first vehicle processor, a first collaborative lighting message from a second vehicle, in which the first collaborative lighting message may request the first vehicle direct one or more headlights of the first vehicle, in collaboration with the second vehicle directing one or more headlights of the second vehicle according to a collaborative lighting plan, and directing, by the first vehicle processor, one or more of the headlights of the first vehicle in accordance with the collaborative lighting plan.

摘要: Various embodiments include methods and vehicles, such as an autonomous vehicle, a semi-autonomous vehicle, etc., for collaboratively directing one or more headlights among vehicles traveling in a platoon. Various aspects may include transmitting, by a first vehicle processor of a first vehicle traveling in the platoon, a collaborative lighting plan to a second vehicle traveling in the platoon, wherein the collaborative lighting plan may direct the second vehicle to direct one or more headlights of the second vehicle in a direction other than a direction of travel of the platoon. The first vehicle processor may then direct one or more the headlights of the first vehicle in accordance with the collaborative lighting plan.

摘要: An auxiliary lamp for a vehicle. Ordinary headlamps are restricted by law in the intensity that they direct towards oncoming drivers. This can cause inconveniently low illumination to a side of the vehicle, such as along a line 20 or 25 degrees left of center for a left-hand driver side vehicle. An auxiliary headlamp assembly is added to provide an auxiliary beam that supplements the primary beam. The auxiliary beam increases illumination along this line, yet maintains total illumination toward oncoming drivers below allowed limits.

摘要: An illumination device is provided, including a coherent light source that emits coherent light beam and an optical device that diffuses the coherent light beam. The optical device includes a first diffusion region that diffuses the coherent light beam to illuminate a first area, and a second diffusion region that diffuses the coherent light beam to display predetermined information in a second area. A timing control unit individually controls a light emission timing at which the coherent light source emits the coherent light so that the coherent light is irradiated to the first diffusion region and the second diffusion region, an incident timing at which the coherent light from the coherent light source is incident on the first diffusion region and the second diffusion region, or an illumination timing at which the coherent light diffused by the optical device illuminates the first area and the second area.
