VEHICLE CONTROL FOR USER SAFETY AND EXPERIENCE
A system and method of vehicle control for user safety and experience is provided. The system receives sensed information associated with a first vehicle, detects a state of the first vehicle, and determines activities of a person or a second vehicle in proximity of the first vehicle. Such activities are determined based on the sensed information. The system triggers actions based on whether or not the determined activities are unsafe for the first vehicle or for users of the first vehicle in the detected state. The system controls devices associated with the first vehicle based on the triggered actions. The devices include a light-based projector device that is controlled to project a visual alert, included in the triggered actions, directly onto a physical surface. The physical surface is a window portion of the first vehicle or a physical structure which is external to and separate from the first vehicle.
Vehicle to pedestrian communication system and method
A system for alerting a user includes a first device for vehicle-to-pedestrian communication. The first device is operable by a pedestrian. The system further includes a vehicle operable by a driver including a second device for vehicle-to-pedestrian communication. The system is configured to provide an alert via at least one of the first device and second device to at least one of the driver and the pedestrian.
Control unit and method for defining movement regions
A component for a vehicle configured to drive on a roadway is a control unit that is configured to detect a road user on the roadway, ascertain a portion of the roadway in which the road user can move, and prompt a communication unit of the vehicle to generate an optical output, where via the optical output the road user is indicated the portion of the roadway in which the road user can move.
Motor Vehicle Having a Projection Device
A motor vehicle includes a projection device to project a light distribution for driver information in the longitudinal direction of the motor vehicle onto the ground in front of the motor vehicle. The light function of the projected light distribution is different from a low beam and a high beam light. During operation of the projection device within a predefined interval of the vehicle speed in the forward direction of the motor vehicle, an increase in the extent of the light distribution in the longitudinal direction of the motor vehicle occurs as the vehicle speed increases. The extent of the light distribution at each vehicle speed is thereby greater than or equal to the extent at lower vehicle speeds.
Augmented solar-powered emergency vehicle light
An expanded solar alarm lamp includes a solar cell component, a solar battery, a main controller, a xenon tube lamp, a circuit board, and a PC housing. The solar battery is connected to the solar cell component for receiving solar energy from the solar cell component and storing the solar energy to a battery that supplies electric power to the alarm lamp. The main controller and xenon tube lamp are installed on the circuit board; the PC housing is used for wrapping the circuit board and installed at the top of a car body; the xenon tube lamp is for generating a warning light; and the main controller is for determining whether the electric power supply is provided by the solar battery which is the xenon tube lamp based on the current stored electricity of the solar battery. The invention improves the performance and function of the solar alarm lamp.
