A system for simulation of a composite beam is disclosed. The system can comprise a memory storing executable instructions and one or more processors coupled to the memory to execute the executable instructions. The one or more processors can be configured to generate a representation of the original beam pattern transmitted via a propagation of the composite beam, to invoke a propagation model that represents a distortion for the propagation of the composite beam, and to determine a representation of a distorted beam pattern based on the propagation model and on the representation of the original beam pattern transmitted via the propagation.

Provided is a method and device to selectively illuminate off-road objects in low-light environments using directionally-adjustable vehicle headlamps. An object may be identified by a vehicle user and/or autonomous vehicle sensors. When the identified object is within an illumination range capability of a vehicle headlamp, a frontlighting control unit operates to determine vector data for the identified object, taking into account vehicle motion. With the vector data, a headlight pattern of the vehicle headlamp may be adjusted to align with the vector data to illuminate the identified object.

A headlight control apparatus for controlling an irradiation angle of a headlight of a vehicle based on a pitch angle includes a height sensor and a camera. The height sensor detects a displacement amount of a spring upper member with respect to a rotation axis of the vehicle as a contraction length. The apparatus obtains an infinity point correlation value based on an infinity point position in the image obtained by the camera in a vertical direction. When a predetermined condition is satisfied, the apparatus obtains a standard pitch angle based on the contraction length and obtains the infinity point correlation value at the present time as a standard infinity point correlation value. When the condition is not satisfied, the apparatus obtains the pitch angle based on the standard pitch angle, the standard infinity point correlation value, and the infinity point correlation value at the present time.

Automatically optimizing a predictive dynamic bending light function of a vehicle lighting system comprises configuring a bending light control unit for controlling the lighting system with initial bending light control parameter values as control parameter values to be used, configuring a classification unit for automatically classifying a performance of the bending light control unit into a desired and at least one further performance class, depending on output values of the control unit, configuring a control parameter optimization unit for ascertaining updated control parameter values depending on input values of the control unit and classifications of the performance assigned to them, as well as acquiring driving trajectory parameter values as the input values during a journey, ascertaining output values of the control unit, automatically classifying the performance depending on the ascertained output values, ascertaining updated control parameter values and adapting the control parameter values to be used to the updated control parameter values, wherein the ascertainment of updated control parameter values comprises the application of a genetic algorithm with which a frequency of a classification of the performance into the desired performance class is increased.
