A system for implementing strobing of existing vehicle hazard lights including an interface to a vehicle wiring harness configured to receive input to an existing vehicle flasher module, and a strobing circuit that responds to an activation signal from the vehicle wiring harness that is indicative of a hazard flasher deployment event by producing an electrical output through the interface to the vehicle wiring harness that causes a strobing of existing vehicle hazard lamps.

A method for assisting a vision of a driver includes: receiving a signal indicating that weather information is emergency weather information from a navigation device according to setting by a vehicle driver, and turning on a vision assisting device included in the vehicle in response to the signal; obtaining an image of an infrared thermal camera of the vision assisting device, which photographs a front of the vehicle when the vehicle travels, and obtaining an image of a camera of the vision assisting device, which photographs the front of the vehicle when the vehicle travels; controlling an image processor of the vision assisting device to determine whether a matching rate between image data of the infrared thermal camera and image data of the camera is equal to or less than a first threshold; and, when the matching rate is equal to or less than the first threshold, using distances between the vehicle and respective objects located at the front, a rear, and sides of the traveling vehicle, speeds of the respective objects, which are detected by a radar sensor of the vision assisting device, and the images of the infrared thermal camera photographing the front of the vehicle to generate a surrounding state image of the vehicle, which includes the distances and the speeds.

Disclosed is an aerial lift, including: a lower portion with members for ground connection; a lifting structure; a platform supported by the lifting structure; and a lighting system. The aerial lift includes a control console on the platform, whose position is variable relative to the ground connection members. The lighting devices are arranged on the lower portion of the aerial lift and/or on the lifting structure or the platform and selectively generate light beams directed towards the ground and the immediate environment of the aerial lift, including at least partially an area beyond the edge of the members for connecting to the ground. The light beams are directed towards four sides, consisting of two opposing pairs of sides, of the aerial lift regardless of the position of the control console relative to the members for connecting to the ground. Also disclosed is a method for implementing such an aerial lift.
