A vehicle lighting control method includes that a roadside communications device sends a first message to a vehicle. The first message prompts the vehicle to illuminate a first target, and the first target is near a travel path that the vehicle is to pass through. Before passing the first target, the vehicle adjusts the vehicle into a first lighting mode in advance based on the first message to illuminate the first target.

A headlight for vehicles, having a light source unit for emitting light, an optical unit for deflecting the light in accordance with a predefined light distribution, and a control unit for generating a control signal, by means of which the light source unit and/or the optical unit can be controlled, wherein the control signal is generated depending on a number of environmental parameters, wherein an optimization program is stored in the control unit, by means of which optimization program the control signal is calculated from a plurality of individual control signals, wherein by means of the individual control signals different partial light distributions, each dependent on the environmental parameters, can be generated.

Provided are systems and methods for a deep learning based beam control. Sensor data associated with the environment and the corresponding detected objects from a perception system are obtained. Object features and image features are extracted. The extracted object features and image features are fused into fused features. A beam control status is predicted according to the fused features, wherein the beam control status indicates a high beam illumination intensity or a low beam illumination intensity of a light emitting device.

A system and a method for glare prevention. The method includes providing an image view of the face of the vehicle occupant; determining levels of light at plural parts of the face of the vehicle occupant; determining a direction to a light source causing the levels of light at plural parts of the face of the vehicle occupant; determining an area where to activate a glare protector; and activating the glare protector in the determined area to protect the vehicle occupant from glare caused by a light source.

A vehicle detecting device includes: a camera that includes an image sensor and a first filter, the image sensor including a plurality of imaging elements including a first imaging element group and a second imaging element group, the first filter keeping an amount of light entering the first imaging element group lower than an amount of light entering the second imaging element group; an image generating unit that generates a first image based on information obtained from the first imaging element group and a second image based on information obtained from the second imaging element group; and a detecting unit that detects a front vehicle based on the first image and the second image.

A vehicle lighting-based roadway obstacle notification for a motor vehicle has a vehicle headlamp system with a controllable light distribution. A camera is aligned parallel to a forward driving direction records a part of the roadway surface lying in front of the motor vehicle which includes a multiplicity of roadway detection paths. Camera data are individually evaluated in relation to ranges and at least one quantity from among a magnitude of a vertical dimension h.sub.i of the roadway, a magnitude of a gradient grad.sub.x;i of the roadway, and an instantaneous speed v.sub.mom of the motor vehicle, with respect to the roadway detection paths. When at least one predetermined condition in respect of at least one of these quantities is complied with, the vehicle headlamp system is controlled in order to illuminate a part of the width of the roadway in which a roadway anomaly has been detected.

A construction machine in the form of a road paver or feeder vehicle includes a chassis and a hopper, wherein at least one lighting arrangement is mounted on the chassis. The lighting arrangement comprises at least one light source, and the lighting arrangement is configured to illuminate an area in front of the construction machine in the direction of travel. The construction machine further has an object detection system for detecting an object located in front of the construction machine in the direction of travel, and the illumination emitted by the lighting arrangement can be changed as a function of the detection of an object by means of the object detection system.

A method is provided for showing a target vehicle opening fore zone for a potential, future vehicle user (220) of an automated vehicle (200) by a control device, wherein the potential, future vehicle user of the automated vehicle is detected outside of the automated vehicle, and the automated vehicle marks the target vehicle opening fore zone for the potential, future vehicle user during the travel to the potential, future vehicle user before a stopping position (250) is reached.

A vehicle lamp provided in a vehicle that travels at a corner by tilting a vehicle body includes: a light source unit; a sensor configured to detect information on outside of the vehicle; and a housing that houses the light source unit and the sensor. The vehicle lamp is disposed at a central portion of the vehicle body in a left-right direction, and wherein the sensor is disposed in the housing at a central portion in the left-right direction.

An illumination system for a vehicle includes a headlight configured to emit a light beam along an optical path and into an environment. The illumination system includes an optical element having a body comprising four sides. The optical element is positioned along the optical path and configured to redirect the light beam. The illumination system includes a front lens positioned along the optical path and configured to receive the light beam from the optical element and collimate the light beam as the light beam passes into the environment. The optical element is configured to move around an optical element axis to translate the light beam relative to an azimuth plane of the environment.
