The lighting system has a housing and a lens coupled to the housing. The lens has a focal point. The system also has a plurality of light sources generating light and an actuator coupled to the lens. A controller selectively controls the actuator to move the lens relative to the light sources to change the focal point based on the vehicle speed signal.

A straddle vehicle comprises a cover member covering a vehicle body; a head lamp unit which is disposed at a front portion of the straddle vehicle and emits a light beam with which a forward region of the vehicle body is irradiated; and a sub-light-unit which is provided separately from the head lamp unit and emits the light beam with which the forward region is irradiated, wherein the sub-light-unit includes: a housing disposed along an edge of the cover member; a light source member which emits the light beam inside the housing; a reflector which is accommodated in the housing and reflects the light beam emitted from the light source member; and an optical axis adjustment mechanism which supports the reflector on the housing in such a manner that the reflector is tiltable with respect to the housing, and changes a posture of the reflector with respect to the housing.

A headlight system for a banking vehicle is provided. The headlight system includes a plurality of optical assemblies being arranged about an optical horizon and an optical vertical axis. Each of the plurality of optical assemblies includes an illumination source and an optical element. Each of the illumination sources is configured to direct light toward a corresponding one of the optical elements to produce an illumination region.

A headlight module includes a light source, a light guide element, and a projection optical element. The light source emits light. The light guide element has a reflecting surface for reflecting light emitted from the light source and an emitting surface for emitting light reflected by the reflecting surface. The projection optical element projects light emitted from the emitting surface. In a direction of an optical axis of the projection optical element, an end portion on the emitting surface side of the reflecting surface includes a point located at a focal position of the projection optical element.

The invention relates to a method for controlling a luminous device of a motor vehicle arranged to emit a pixelated light beam in a preset emission region. The method includes receiving an instruction to emit a desired pixelated luminous function for each of the luminous modules. The instruction for creating a digital image forming one segment of the desired pixelated luminous function in a frame corresponding to the preset emission region of the luminous module, the digital image being independent of the types of light sources and of optical device of the luminous module. The method further correcting said created digital image depending on the types of light sources and of optical device of the luminous module. The method additionally emitting, with the luminous module, into the preset emission region, a pixelated light beam corresponding to the corrected digital image.

To accurately identify a vehicle state. An apparatus identifies a vehicle state and includes a controller connected with an angular velocity sensor and an acceleration sensor, where the controller acquires acceleration per unit time along a vehicle's longitudinal direction axis from the acceleration sensor, determines acceleration variation over a certain period of time, acquires angular velocity per unit time around vehicle's roll axis from the angular velocity sensor, determines the angular velocity variation during the certain period of time, and identifies the vehicle as a first state when the acceleration variation is greater than a first threshold value and the angular velocity variation is greater than a second threshold value, and identifies the vehicle as a second state when the acceleration variation is less than the first threshold value and the angular velocity variation is less than the second threshold value, and outputs the identified result.

An intelligent follow-up illumination device includes a support component, a rotating component, a driving component, a light source component, a projection component, a control component, and a casing. The support component is adapted to be installed on a vehicle in a fixed state. The rotating component is disposed to rotate relative to the support component. The driving component is disposed between the support component and the rotating component to drive the rotating component to perform a rotation operation around a rotation axis. The light source component is disposed inside the rotating component to emit illumination light. The projection component is retained on the rotating component to project the illumination light outwardly, so as to form a light distribution pattern. The control component is connected to the rotating component and adapted to send a control command to the driving component. The casing is disposed to enclose the control component.

A vehicle head light capable of correcting projection angle automatically includes a head light body having a light head retaining seat and a reflective cup locked; a passive gear cover and a front end thereof being formed with a passive gear; a bearing fixing seat; a bearing being fixed in the bearing fixing seat; the passive gear cover being arranged within the bearing, a motor locked in the bearing fixing seat; a horizontal sensor and a controller serving to control rotation angle of the motor; and a driving gear combined to an output spindle of the motor. The horizontal sensor automatically detects rotation angle of the head light or the inclination of the body of the motorcycle and detection data is transferred out to cause the motor and the driving gear are driven to drive the head light body to correct the light projection angle or swing angle.

A headlight for a single-track motor vehicle has a support part, a light module which is connected to the support part, a first bearing device, a second bearing device, and a coupling device. The light module is mounted by the first bearing device in a rotatable manner about a first main axis relative to the support part and by the second bearing device in a rotatable manner about a second main axis perpendicular to the first main axis. The coupling device couples the light module to the support part such that the light module is rotated about the second main axis during a rotation about the first main axis.
