AUTONOMOUS VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION
20220412752 · 2022-12-29 · ·

Systems and methods for providing indications to identify a selected autonomous vehicle, thereby distinguishing the selected autonomous vehicle from other autonomous vehicles in a fleet. In particular, autonomous vehicles that are not paired with a specific nearby user may employ various exterior indicators to dissuade the user from entering. Additionally, autonomous vehicles that are not paired with the specific nearby user may provide guidance toward the user's autonomous vehicle.

Motorcycle light for realizing at least one light function
11535325 · 2022-12-27 · ·

The invention relates to a motorcycle lamp (2) for implementing at least one lamp function. The motorcycle lamp (2) comprises a housing (4) having a light-emission aperture (6), a bracket (8) mounted on the housing (4) for securing the motorcycle lamp (2) to a motorcycle, at least one light source (10) disposed in the housing (4) and a front optics (12) made of a solid transparent material disposed between the at least one light source (10) and the light-emission aperture (6), wherein the at least one light source (10) comprises an LED and is disposed and oriented in the housing (4) such that it emits light in a main radiation direction (14) extending through the light-emission aperture (6), and wherein the front optics (12) closes the light-emission aperture (6) and deflects and shapes the light emitted by the at least one light source (10) to generate a light distribution corresponding to a lamp function implemented by the motorcycle lamp (2). In order for the lamp (2) to improve the lateral perceptibility without the use of additional optical elements in the optical path, it is proposed that a light-emission surface (16) of the front optics (12) has a first convex curvature when viewed in a horizontal plane (yz) and a second convex curvature when viewed in a vertical plane (xz), the latter being smaller than the first convex curvature in the horizontal plane (yz) or flat.

CAN-BUS LIGHTING ADAPTOR
20220402319 · 2022-12-22 ·

An adaptor for connecting an LED lighting unit to a vehicle CAN-bus. The adaptor has a connector connectable to a corresponding connector on a vehicle, to receive a lighting current from the CAN-bus of the vehicle. A wireless power transmitter of the adaptor wirelessly transmits power to the LED lighting unit at a first level, typically suited to LED operation. The adaptor further includes one or more resistors connected between the connector and transmitter and arranged to draw power from the connector at a second power level higher than the first power level, which second power level is suitably equivalent to that for halogen or filament lighting.

Automated driving enabled vehicle

An automated driving enabled vehicle includes a travel controller, an automated driving indicator lamp, and a lamp controller. The travel controller controls the travel of the vehicle by automated driving in a normal movement mode and in an automatic parking mode. The normal movement mode includes allowing the vehicle to travel, and the automatic parking mode includes parking the vehicle by the automated driving in a parking lot. The lamp controller controls a lighting state of the automated driving indicator lamp during the execution of the automated driving to a first lighting state in the normal movement mode, and to a second lighting state different from the first lighting state in the automatic parking mode.

Wrong way driving prevention

An example operation includes one or more of initially determining, via one or more sensors on a transport, that the transport is approaching a one-way road in a wrong direction based on a slowing down of the transport and a movement of the transport toward the one-way road, notifying, via the one or more sensors, one or more occupants of the transport about the approaching, and in response to the transport continuing to approach in the wrong direction, slowing the transport, by a computer associated with the transport, to not permit entry into the one-way road.

Method and system supporting obtaining of body parameters of a person outside a vehicle

The present disclosure relates to a method performed by a body parameters supporting system of a vehicle for supporting obtaining body parameters of a person. The body parameters supporting system determines—with input from one or more surrounding detecting sensors adapted to capture a surrounding exterior of the vehicle—one or more body parameters capturing conditions for a person present outside the vehicle. The body parameters supporting system further communicates one or more instruction signals indicating one or more body motion and/or obstruction removal instructions, wherein the one or more instruction signals are determined in consideration of counteracting, changing and/or overcoming at least one of the one or more body parameters capturing conditions. The disclosure also relates to a body parameters supporting system in accordance with the foregoing, and a vehicle comprising such a body parameters supporting system.

High visibility lighting for autonomous vehicles

A system has a microcontroller with operative control of a set of vehicle lights including an ability to flash all of the set of vehicle signal lights simultaneously as hazard flashers and an ability to strobe all of the set of vehicle signal lights as high conspicuity emergency lighting. Upon receipt of an indication from a vehicle data bus that the vehicle is slowing as a result of a stopping event, the microcontroller determines a speed of the vehicle and strobes the set of vehicle signal lights as high conspicuity emergency lighting if the speed of the vehicle is below a predetermined threshold.
