A motor vehicle includes a radiator grille and a lighting apparatus with a number of light sources. During operation, the lighting apparatus emits light, which originates from the number of light sources, from the radiator grille into the surrounds of the motor vehicle. The lighting apparatus includes a number of flexible fiber bundles. Each fiber contains one or more fibers and has a homogeneous outer surface for generating homogeneous light radiation in a circumferential direction of the fiber bundle. Further, each fiber bundle is arranged at least in sections on the radiator grille and coupled to at least one light source at at least one light one fiber bundle end, the light source feeding into the at least one fiber bundle end during operation.

Design of identification and visual protection system for mining equipment, vehicles and people exposed to possible high potential interactions, this system is the combination of different lighting techniques, which together offer a new product with the advantages of delivering a Greater capacity to be visualized in the field, preventing identification and warning problems in mining equipment.

Its form and use can help reduce the risks and exposure of equipment, vehicles and people where they can be implemented. Considerably increasing the identification distance, even without any external light emission.

A system for displaying information indicative of driving conditions, to a driver, using a smart ring are disclosed. An exemplary system includes a smart ring with a ring band having a plurality of surfaces including an inner surface, an outer surface, a first side surface, and a second side surface. The system further includes a processor, configured to obtain data from a communication module within the ring band, or from one or more sensors disposed within the ring band. The obtained data are representative of information indicative of one or more driving conditions to be displayed to the driver. The smart ring also includes a projector module display disposed on at least one of the plurality of surfaces, and configured to present information indicative of the one or more driving conditions.

A removable light for a towed vehicle includes a housing with a low profile shape, an anchor, a safety tether strap, and lens protection features.

An apparatus (100), including: a framework (104) configured to be secured to a vehicle; an arm base (106) configured to pivot relative to the framework between a retracted position and an extended position; an arm (110) removably secured to and extending from the arm base; and a shock absorber (142) configured to absorb shock and to prevent relative movement between the arm base and the arm.

To realize an apparatus and a method for receiving a recognition level of an own vehicle from another vehicle and/or an infrastructure facility and performing control to improve a recognition level. A recognition level of the own vehicle calculated by another vehicle or the infrastructure facility is received, and control for improvement of a recognition level of the own vehicle is executed in accordance with the received recognition level. As the control for improvement of a recognition level of the own vehicle, any process is executed among: (a) a process of reducing a traveling speed or stopping; (b) a process of turning on a light; and (c) a process of changing transmission information from the own vehicle. As the process of changing transmission information, a process of adding, to the transmission information, vehicle location information, vehicle speed information, vehicle size information, or reference marker position information is executed.

Disclosed are an organic light emitting display device and lighting apparatus for vehicles using the same. The organic light emitting display device includes a first layer including a first organic layer and a first emission layer on a first electrode, a second layer including a second emission layer and a second organic layer on the first layer, a second electrode on the second layer, and a third organic layer between the first layer and the second layer. A thickness of the first emission layer is equal to or greater than a thickness of each of the first organic layer and the second organic layer.

A school bus stop sign assembly for enhancing safety of children entering and exiting a school bus includes a hinging unit that is coupled to an outer wall of a school bus. The hinging unit is actuated into a deployed position and a stored position. A member is coupled to the hinging unit and the member extends outwardly from the school bus when the hinging unit is actuated into the deployed position. Thus, the member extends across a roadway on which the school bus is driving to inhibit a vehicle from passing the school bus thereby enhancing safety for children entering or exiting the school bus. A pair of video cameras is each coupled to the member to capture imagery of the environment around the member.

Devices, systems, and methods for management of electrical resources for electric vehicles. A method may include receiving, by a vehicle, sensor data indicative of a first luminosity of a location, and determining that the first luminosity of the location exceeds a luminosity threshold. The method may include determining, based on the first luminosity exceeding the luminosity threshold, a second luminosity to apply to lights of the vehicle while the vehicle is at the location, the second luminosity greater than zero. The method may include applying the second luminosity to the lights while the vehicle is at the location.

Systems and methods for replicating vehicular illumination are disclosed. According to an aspect, a system includes a detector configured to sense light emitted by a host light of a host vehicle for detecting a lighting state of the host light. The system also includes a communications system configured to communicate the detected lighting state between the host light and the remote light. Further, the system includes a remote light being located on one of the host vehicle and an operator of the host vehicle and configured to replicate the lighting state of the host light.
