Slow moving vehicle safety device
A slow moving vehicle safety device for reducing accidents involving slow moving vehicles includes a housing, which defines an interior space and which is mountable to a rear end of a slow moving vehicle. A power module, a microprocessor, and a receiver are engaged to the housing and are positioned in the interior space. The power module and the receiver are operationally engaged to the microprocessor. The receiver is Global Positioning System enabled and receives coordinates and relays the coordinates to the microprocessor, which calculates a speed of the slow moving vehicle. A plurality of bulbs, which is engaged to a rear facing facet of the housing and is operationally engaged to the microprocessor, can selectively emit light of a variety of colors. The microprocessor is enabled to selectively actuate the bulbs to emit light of a respective color based on an associated speed of the slow moving vehicle.
Illumination device for vehicles
An illumination device for vehicles, in particular rear light, with a light-emitting unit to generate a predetermined light function. The device comprises a plurality of light sources and an optical unit. The optical unit comprises a light guide with means for the deflection of the light coupled in the same, and a retroreflective unit to generate a retroreflective function. The light guide is designed as a low-profile light guide, which is arranged in the main radiation direction in front of the retroreflective unit. The means for deflecting the light are distributed on or in the low-profile light guide such that the first light beam emitted from the light source and coupled into a narrow side of the low-profile light guide is coupled out at a front flat side of the low-profile light guide to produce the predetermined light function. A second light beam coming from the outside passes the front flat side and a rear flat side of the low-profile light guide and is incident on the retroreflective unit and is reflected by it back through the rear flat side and the front flat side of the low-profile light guide in the main radiation direction to generate the retroreflective function.
TANKER TRUCK WITH REAR LIGHTING ASSEMBLY AND METHOD OF OPERATION
A tank vehicle that includes a main body having a front bulkhead, a rear bulkhead opposite to the front bulkhead, an exterior wall operably engaged with the front bulkhead and the rear bulkhead, and at least one interior chamber defined collectively by the front bulkhead, the rear bulkhead, and the exterior wall and being adapted to carry a load. The tank vehicle also includes a false bulkhead that is removably engaged with the main body and is located a distance away from one of the front bulkhead and the rear bulkhead. The tank vehicle also includes a rear lighting assembly that operably engages with one of the rear bulkhead and the false bulkhead. The rear light assembly is configured to emit a set of indicator lights through a portion of the false bulkhead and behind the main body to indicate travel of the tank vehicle.
Vehicular lighting using passive and/or active optics
A reflector unit may behave as a retroreflector to reflect light of a selected color. The reflector unit may comprise a first reflector having a first color, a second reflector having a second color, and a mask that either allows incoming light to reach the first reflector and not the second reflector or allows incoming light to reach the second reflector and not the first reflector. An active light unit may emit light of a particular color in response to receiving light. In this fashion, the active light unit may simulate the operation of a reflector. The reflector unit and the active light unit may operate on a bi-directional vehicle.
CUSTOMIZABLE MODULAR LAMP
A customizable modular lamp is made up of an outer lens customized by known per se techniques, which covers a housing provided with at least one recess in which is mounted a customizable module consisting of a retro-reflective lens under which there is an inner customized lens personalized by known per se techniques, under which there is a printed circuit board with LEDs that is held in a holder fastened to a cover provided with at least one element for ventilation. During the daylight, personalization is visible on the outer customized lens. In the darkness anddepending on the recipient's requestwhen activating the lights for changing direction, position or braking, customization becomes evident by lighting inside the lamp, on the surface of the inner customized lens.
FOLDABLE PANEL FOR FACILITATING SPOTTING OF ON ROAD HAZARDS
A foldable hazard warning panel configured to be deployed on a vehicle is described. The foldable hazard warning panel comprises a set of beams, a first set of shafts and a second set of shafts detachably and pivotally coupled to the set of beams, and a plurality of lights deployed on the set of beams and the first and second set of shafts. The foldable hazard warning panel is configured to shift between a fully open state, a partially folded state, and a fully folded state. The plurality of lights are operative to indicate presence of a hazard and a safe direction of travel.
Has a Bluetooth 70 feet Bluetooth Wireless Range capability mounted camera on beam, solar panel strip charger capability attached to beams and to continue to operate in case of total loss of power occurs, heat capability throughout all device frame to melt snow, sleet or freezing rain while operating, USB charging plug capability that pre-charges the foldable panel while being stored, and a electronic device power supply that connects the license plate of the vehicle to the foldable panel for continuous operation while in an emergency
Self-deployable tripod for vehicle
An automatically deployed tripod for a vehicle includes a fixing frame formed as a housing having one open side surface, a folding frame having one side coupled to the fixing frame to be folded and inserted into the fixing frame or to be unfolded and protrude out of the fixing frame, and a driving part coupled to the interior of the fixing frame, to fix the folding frame into a folded state, and to release the fixing of the folding frame by an operation of a user and cause the folding frame into an unfolded state.
Automatic light intensity control device for vehicle rear lamps in response to changes in visibility distance and its control method
The present invention relates to an automatic light intensity control device for vehicle rear lamps in response to changes in visibility distance and its control method. To this end, the automatic light intensity control device for vehicle rear lamps of the present invention comprises: a visibility distance measurement unit that is mounted on a driving vehicle or installed in the vicinity of a driving road to measure a visibility distance of the road in real time; and a light intensity calculation and control unit that is mounted on the driving vehicle to calculate an appropriate light intensity using visibility distance information measured by the visibility distance measurement unit and then control the light intensity of rear lamps in real time.
