SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR ILLUMINATION CONTROL AND DISTRIBUTION DURING A VEHICLE BANK
A bank angle of a vehicle can be accurately calculated using yaw axis data and roll axis data, and based on the calculated bank angle, vehicle illumination optics can be controlled to maintain a pattern of distributed light from the illumination optics to be generally horizontal. The calculated bank angle may be zeroed when the yaw axis data equals zero. The improved pattern of distributed light from the illumination optics illuminates a more natural field of view for the vehicle driver during a bank.
Vehicle light
Provided is a vehicular lamp that forms a light distribution pattern for traveling having a lower end portion overlapping an upper end portion of a light distribution pattern for passing and is downsized with a simple configuration. The vehicular lamp includes a projection lens that projects light emitted from a first light source to form the light distribution pattern for passing and projects light emitted from a second light source to form the light distribution pattern for traveling. A lower lens part and an upper lens part are set in the projection lens about a lens axis as a center, a lower focus is set on the lens axis in the lower lens part, and an upper focus shorter in focal length than the lower focus is set on the lens axis in the upper lens part.
