A driver assist device is described for an industrial truck (1) with at least one steered wheel (21) at the rear end of the truck. The driver assist device is located on the industrial truck (1) and projects a lighting effect on the roadway (13). The lighting effect marks a peripheral path (12) of the external periphery (14) of the rear end (15) of the truck on the roadway (13) for a selected steering angle as the industrial truck travels in a curve.

A vehicle is provided herein that includes a pickup box defining a storage compartment therein. A liner is disposed on an exterior surface of the pickup box. A first luminescent structure is disposed within the liner and is configured to luminesce in response to receiving excitation light from a first light source.

A vehicle is provided that includes a glazing that has a first glass substrate and a second glass substrate. A polymeric interlayer is positioned between the first and second glass substrates and a phosphorescent layer is positioned on the polymeric interlayer. A light source is optically coupled with polymeric interlayer.

A vehicle cabin wayfinding assembly is configured to be secured within an internal cabin of a vehicle. The vehicle cabin wayfinding assembly may include a placard having a front face, and at least one directional reflector offset from the front face of the placard. The directional reflector(s) defines one or more indicia, and is configured to directionally reflect light that is emitted from a light source into an application zone.

An information indication system for a vehicle, a vessel, an aircraft as well as other equipment, the information indication system configured to indicate a value of a physical parameter to an operator of the vehicle, vessel or aircraft, the information indication system including a dial corresponding to a range of values of the physical parameter and a needle operable to move about the dial, wherein a current location of the needle on the dial indicates the value of a physical parameter within the range of values of the physical parameter, wherein the information indication system is configured to illuminate a portion of the dial in the immediate vicinity of the current location of the needle on the dial. In various embodiments, the information indication system may be a speedometer or a tachometer.

A vehicle sun visor assembly includes a circuit board having a mounting surface. The vehicle sun visor assembly also includes a top-emitting light emitting diode (LED) mounted on the mounting surface of the circuit board. In addition, the vehicle sun visor assembly includes a light guide having a light emitting surface and a light receiving surface. The light receiving surface is substantially perpendicular to the light emitting surface, and the light guide is configured to receive light emitted from the top-emitting LED through the light receiving surface and to emit the light from the top-emitting LED through the light emitting surface toward a vehicle interior.

A vehicle includes a cargo box including at least one side wall. A tailgate is coupled to the box and operable between open and closed positions. A light assembly is positioned in a vehicle rear portion of the at least one side wall. A box light is configured to emit light into the box and a puddle lamp is configured to emit light in a vehicle rearward direction.

In a method of controlling an interior lighting (25) in a vehicle (18), having a plurality of separately drivable lamps (26a-26g), provision is made that a motion light pattern, in particular a wave light pattern, is generated as a function of vehicle operating data by separately driving the individual lamps (26a-26g), the vehicle operating data including ambient data picked up by means of a light sensor.

A lamp unit according to an embodiment is a lamp unit that irradiates with light from a light source, and includes: a circuit board on which the light source is mounted; a housing configured to have an internal space for accommodating the circuit board; a lens configured to be attached to the housing and emit the light from the light source to the outside of the housing, wherein the housing include an insertion hole for inserting the circuit board into the internal space from the outside of the housing to which the lens is attached.

Systems and methods for monitoring passenger activity in an aircraft cabin environment to predict immediate future passenger needs. The systems and methods make use of sensors positioned within an aircraft cabin environment configured to sense condition changes of objects corresponding to predetermined service issues, device(s) usable by the service crew indicating the sensed condition changes, and processing circuitry configured to receive sensor signals and indicate the condition changes through the device(s) such that the service crew is made aware of the condition changes requiring actions to be completed by the service crew to attend to the immediate future passenger needs.
