A vehicle indication alert system for improving vehicle visibility for pedestrians and other motorists. The vehicle indication alert system increases the number of turn indicators on a vehicle, so the direction of the turn is more accurately known. The indicators are built directly into a vehicle windshield at the time of manufacture, and alternatively, are added as an after-market feature to an existing vehicle windshield.

An optical device for displaying a condensing mark includes a light source, and an optical element for condensing light emitted from the light source onto an irradiated surface. A lamp controller acquires a detection signal from a state detection device mounted on the vehicle and configured to detect a behavior of and peripheral environmental information of the vehicle, and light or blink the optical device. The optical device displays a plurality of condensing marks by arranging each of them side by side in at least the travelling direction of the vehicle on a lane orthogonal to a lane on which the vehicle exists, and one of the plurality of condensing marks to be displayed on a display region farthest from the vehicle is different in color from another one of the plurality of condensing marks to be displayed on a display region closest to the vehicle.

A remote lighting system for a safety helmet operable with a vehicle lighting system. The system includes a vehicle portion and a helmet portion comprising a helmet brake light; a microcontroller in communication with the brake light; and a helmet transceiver in communication with the microcontroller. The vehicle portion includes a vehicle transceiver in wireless communication with the helmet transceiver; a gate in communication with the vehicle transceiver, and under a condition when a signal is received from the vehicle transceiver, operable to electrically connect the battery to the brake light of the vehicle lighting system; and an accelerometer in communication with the vehicle transceiver, and operable to send a signal indicative of vehicle acceleration to the vehicle transceiver. When a threshold level of deceleration is exceeded, the microcontroller sends a signal to the transceivers and the gate, causing a brake light of the vehicle lighting system to be illuminated.

A method for manufacturing a blinker module for a rearview device of a motor vehicle includes the steps of providing at least one lighting element comprising at least one light guide and at least one light disk or lens and providing of at least one illuminant unit comprising at least one illuminant, wherein the illuminant unit is designed to couple light emitted by the illuminant into the lighting element. A blinker module, rearview device and motor vehicle, including the blinker module manufactured according to the method, are also described.

A lighting control device is capable of further enhancing the impression of direction indication due to the movement of light when performing sequential winker control. The lighting control device performs lighting control of a vehicular lamp including a plurality of light-emitting parts, and includes processor circuitry configured to perform controls to repeat a lighting cycle including turning on the plurality of light-emitting parts that have been turned off and maintaining a lighting state of all the light emitting parts, then sequentially dimming at least two or more of the light-emitting parts in a predetermined direction with a time difference, and thereafter turning off the plurality of light-emitting parts and maintaining a lights-out state of all the light-emitting parts.
