An apparatus may comprise a base member being defined by a rectangular aperture configured to receive and engage an automobile intake box, the base member being further defined by a perimeter surrounding the rectangular aperture and having at least one fastener or aperture configured to receive a fastener dimensioned to avoid disturbing the automobile intake box; a gooseneck member fixedly attached to the base member, the gooseneck member having a first end opening and a second end opening, the gooseneck member having an interior cavity configured to direct air into the automobile intake box from the second end opening to the first end opening through the interior cavity; and an interchangeable bell housing removably secured to the second end opening of the gooseneck member, the interchangeable bell housing having a frustoconical shaped cross section on at least one plane.

A intelligent headlight system for a bicycle according to an embodiment of the present invention comprises: a bicycle body; a portable terminal which may be carried by a rider of the bicycle body and has a GPS module, for detecting the location information of the bicycle body, so as to measure the running speed on the basis of the location information of the bicycle body; and a headlight apparatus which is disposed on the bicycle body so as to cast light on the scene ahead of the bicycle body, is communicatably connected to the portable terminal so as to receive the running speed of the bicycle body, and is formed such that irradiation patterns may vary in accordance with the running speed of the bicycle body.

A visual deceleration indicator signals to pedestrians and other vehicles that a vehicle is slowing down or coming to a stop. Illuminating devices, such as LEDs, contained in a license plate frame located in the front of the car or otherwise, are activated when the vehicle decelerates. An accelerometer or other sensory device detects deceleration and sends a signal to illuminate the LEDs, thereby letting others know the vehicle is slowing down. The license plate frame may be connected directly to a rear brake light component without the use of accelerometers or other sensors. When the brake is applied, the LEDs in the license plate frame are illuminated. The LEDs may be contained in other forms and located in different positions on the front or side of the car. The indicator might be one color to indicate braking and another color to indicate it is on, but not braking.

A notification device includes a calculation unit calculating, based on a speed of a vehicle, a vehicle stoppage distance by which the vehicle travels until the vehicle enters a stopped state while performing autonomous driving, a notification unit performing notification about information with respect to an outside of the vehicle, and a notification controller causing the notification unit not to perform notification about information indicating that the vehicle is in the middle of deceleration until the vehicle passes by a first soon-to-cross pedestrian and to cause the notification unit to perform notification about the information after the vehicle passes by the first soon-to-cross pedestrian when a distance between the vehicle and the first soon-to-cross pedestrian is smaller than the vehicle stoppage distance and a distance between the vehicle and a second soon-to-cross pedestrian is equal to or greater than the vehicle stoppage distance.

A system to enhance vehicle safety is disclosed comprising a vehicle having a front end and a rear end; at least one visual signal light apparatus positioned in the proximity to the front end of the vehicle; the visual signal light apparatus illuminates when the vehicle's is decelerating via its braking system; wherein the visual light apparatus is comprised of at least a main component and a mount component; wherein the mount component is suitable to mount the main component to a surface of the front of the vehicle; wherein the main component is comprised of a housing, an LED array, and a solar array; wherein the housing is comprised of a recessed portion housing the LED array; wherein the LED array faces the front end of the vehicle; and wherein the solar array is embodied to a top surface of the housing.

The automotive safety brake light is a supplemental optical signaling system that generates an illumination visible from the exterior of a vehicle. The automotive safety brake light mounts on a rearview mirror such that the field of illumination of the generated illumination is visible from the anterior side of the exterior of the vehicle. The automotive safety brake light generates the visible illumination when a brake signal from the vehicle indicates that the plurality of brake lights have been activated. The automotive safety brake light comprises a circuit housing and a control circuit. The circuit housing contains the control circuit. The control circuit monitors the brake signal. The control circuit initially generates the illumination as a series of pulses when initially actuated by the brake signal. The control circuit subsequently continuously generates a continuous illumination until the brake signal indicates that the plurality of brake lights are no longer illuminated.

A side-facing brake light assembly, including a left side-facing brake light incorporated into a left side view mirror and a right side-facing brake light incorporated into a right side view mirror, the left and right side-facing brake lights operable by an electrical circuit. Both the left side-facing and right side-facing brake lights are positioned and directed such that drivers and pedestrians on both the right side and the left side of the vehicle can see when the brakes of the vehicle have been applied, especially useful as the vehicle approaches an intersection. The side-facing brake light apparatus of the invention more effectively communicates the intention of the driver as he/she approaches the intersection, thereby increasing the safety of other drivers and pedestrians. The side-facing brake light apparatus of the invention helps to avoid serious collisions, property damage, and loss of life due to misunderstandings of other drivers and pedestrians.

Upper lamps each having an upward-convex semicircular shape, and lower lamps each having a downward-convex semicircular shape are placed on left and right sides in a lower part of a front face of a vehicle. In conjunction, the upper lamps and respective lower lamps constitute annular lamps. The upper lamps and respective lower lamps can be illuminated independently of each other.

A system to enhance vehicle safety is disclosed comprising a vehicle having a front end and a rear end; at least one visual signal light apparatus positioned in the proximity to the front end of the vehicle; the visual signal light apparatus illuminates when the vehicle's is decelerating via its braking system; wherein the visual light apparatus is comprised of a rear view mirror having a first surface facing the front of the vehicle and a second surface facing the rear of the vehicle wherein at least one portion of solar panel is embodied to the first surface and at least one or more LED lights is embodied to the first surface.

A notification device includes a calculation unit calculating, based on a speed of a vehicle, a vehicle stoppage distance by which the vehicle travels until the vehicle enters a stopped state while performing autonomous driving, a notification unit performing notification about information with respect to an outside of the vehicle, and a notification controller causing the notification unit not to perform notification about information indicating that the vehicle is in the middle of deceleration until the vehicle passes by a first soon-to-cross pedestrian and to cause the notification unit to perform notification about the information after the vehicle passes by the first soon-to-cross pedestrian when a distance between the vehicle and the first soon-to-cross pedestrian is smaller than the vehicle stoppage distance and a distance between the vehicle and a second soon-to-cross pedestrian is equal to or greater than the vehicle stoppage distance.
