A method for operating adjustable headlights of a vehicle, the method may include sensing, by a vehicle night-vision sensor, an environment of the vehicle to provide sensed information; searching, in the sensed information, for a headlight adjustment event identifier, the headlight adjustment event identifier identifies a future occurrence of a headlight adjustment event, the headlight adjustment event requires an adjustment of a lighting pattern formed by at least one of the adjustable highlights of the vehicle; and when finding the headlight adjustment event identifier then adjusting the lighting pattern according to the headlight adjustment event, wherein the adjusting begins before the future occurrence of the headlight adjustment event or immediately at a beginning of the headlight adjustment event.

The present disclosure relates to a headlamp control apparatus including a first determination unit configured to, when information regarding a distance from a speed breaker from a detection device included in a vehicle, determine whether the distance from the speed breaker is smaller than a predetermined first threshold distance; a second determination unit configured to, when information regarding an inclination is received from an inclination detection device included in the vehicle, determine whether the inclination is a predetermined first inclination corresponding to an entry into the speed breaker or a predetermined second inclination corresponding to moving off of the speed breaker; and a control unit configured to control a high-beam lamp or adjusting brightness of the high-beam lamp not to shine forward with respect to when it is determined that the distance from the speed breaker is smaller than the first threshold distance, configured to control a general-beam lamp or adjusting brightness of the general-beam lamp to shine forward and downward with respect to the vehicle when it is determined that the inclination is the first inclination, and configured to control the high-beam lamp and the general-beam lamp to return to previous states thereof when it is determined that the inclination is changed from the first inclination to the second inclination.

The autonomous headlight height adjustment and masking system disclosed herein may comprise a system that automatically adjusts the level of the headlamps based on the elevation profile to be traversed so as not to blind other traffic by the controller of the high beams adjusting the headlamp to illuminate areas that do not interfere with other humans or vehicles based on the profile of the road or via another method in which there is a mechanism for masking or blocking the light emitted by the head light with a dynamic LCD or light segmented into different areas where they can be selectively turned on and off.

A lighting tool for a vehicle includes a first condensing optical system configured to condense a first beam at a first condensing magnification, a second condensing optical system configured to condense a second beam at a second condensing magnification, and a projection optical system configured to project the first beam and the second beam forward, wherein each of a condensing point of the first beam condensed by the first condensing optical system and a condensing point of the second beam condensed by the second condensing optical system are adjusted according to a rear-side focus of the projection optical system.

A vehicle lighting device includes at least one headlight, a position and/or acceleration sensor, and a control unit for adjusting a light/dark boundary of the headlight. Pitch movements of the vehicle can be detected by the position and/or acceleration sensor, and a change in the light/dark boundary due to the respective pitch movement can be compensated for by the control unit. The position and/or acceleration sensor and the control unit are arranged in the headlight or directly on the headlight.

An image projection apparatus that can be attached to a vehicle and can be effectively utilized for acquisition of road surface condition information, detection of a hidden vehicle, and the like is provided. The image projection apparatus that projects an image includes: an acquisition unit that acquires information related to a vehicle; an image projection unit that projects an image based on the information acquired by the acquisition unit; and imaging means that acquires an image outside the vehicle, the image projection unit projects light in a wavelength band centered on a wavelength of 1.4 m and the imaging means provides the information related to the vehicle by imaging an image projected based on the light in the wavelength band centered on the wavelength of 1.4 m.

The present disclosure described herein, in general, relates to a system 500 for controlling headlamps of a vehicle. The system 500 may comprise a signal processing unit 509, a relay circuit 401, a switch 302 and a user device 407.
