VEHICLE DISPLAY SYSTEM AND VEHICLE
A vehicle display system is provided in a vehicle and includes: a first display device configured to project a light pattern onto a road surface outside the vehicle; a second display device inside the vehicle configured to display a predetermined image to an occupant of the vehicle such that the predetermined image is superimposed on a real space outside the vehicle; and a controller configured to control the first display device and the second display device. In a case where both the predetermined image and the light pattern are displayed, the controller causes a distance from the occupant to the predetermined image to match a distance from the occupant to the light pattern.
EMERGENCY VISUAL WARNING SYSTEM
Design of identification and visual protection system for mining equipment, vehicles and people exposed to possible high potential interactions, this system is the combination of different lighting techniques, which together offer a new product with the advantages of delivering a Greater capacity to be visualized in the field, preventing identification and warning problems in mining equipment.
Its form and use can help reduce the risks and exposure of equipment, vehicles and people where they can be implemented. Considerably increasing the identification distance, even without any external light emission.
VEHICLE HEADLAMP
A vehicle headlamp includes: a first light source unit that forms at least a high-beam light distribution pattern; a second light source unit that forms an additional light distribution pattern and irradiates light with a luminous intensity higher than that of the first light source unit; a posture switching mechanism that switches between a first posture in which an optical axis of the second light source unit is parallel to an optical axis of the first light source unit and a second posture in which the optical axis of the second light source unit is deviated in the horizontal direction by a predetermined angle from the optical axis of the first light source unit; and a controller that controls an ON/OFF state of the second light source unit and an operation state of the posture switching mechanism according to a vehicle speed acquired from a vehicle.
Enhanced management of electrical resources for electric vehicles
Devices, systems, and methods for management of electrical resources for electric vehicles. A method may include receiving, by a vehicle, sensor data indicative of a first luminosity of a location, and determining that the first luminosity of the location exceeds a luminosity threshold. The method may include determining, based on the first luminosity exceeding the luminosity threshold, a second luminosity to apply to lights of the vehicle while the vehicle is at the location, the second luminosity greater than zero. The method may include applying the second luminosity to the lights while the vehicle is at the location.
Vehicle side and rear exterior illumination and projection
Systems, devices, and methods are disclosed in which one or more light sources, a detector, a processor and a controller are configured such that light from the one or more light sources can provide illumination or projections that can reduce accidents while the vehicle is in motion and when parked and may also provide information and illumination to the driver and vehicle occupants when entering or exiting the vehicle. These systems may, for example, provide spot illumination to moving objects or pedestrians on the road surface, with the spot illumination following the moving object. Alternatively or in addition these systems may project images on the ground, for example to communicate information to occupants of the vehicle, to occupants of another vehicle, or to pedestrians.
METHOD FOR REPORTING DAZZLING CAUSED BY A HEADLIGHT SYSTEM OF AN ONCOMING VEHICLE AND FOR DETERMINING AN INCORRECT POSITION OF THE HEADLIGHT SYSTEM
A method for reporting dazzling caused by a headlight system of a dazzling oncoming vehicle by means of a message produced by the dazzled vehicle that dazzling has been detected, wherein the message contains information relating to a position of the dazzled vehicle at the time of the detected dazzling. The method, also can proceed from the message, for determining an incorrect position of the headlight system of the dazzling vehicle by a comparison between a first intersection point between the trajectory of the oncoming dazzled vehicle and a light field produced by the headlight system of the dazzling vehicle, and a second intersection point between the trajectory of the oncoming dazzled vehicle and a model, stored in the vehicle system, of the light field generated by the headlight system of the dazzling vehicle.
ROAD SURFACE CONDITION VIEWING APPARATUS
A road surface condition viewing apparatus includes an illuminator provided on front side of a vehicle. The illuminator is configured to apply dot-shaped pieces of projection light to a road surface in a vehicle traveling direction. The dot-shaped pieces of projection light are arranged at predetermined intervals and visually recognizable by a driver who drives the vehicle.
Lane recognition for automotive vehicles
The present invention relates to a lighting system 200 of an automotive vehicle comprising: —an image capture device (205) configured to acquire an image (I) of a road (R) of travel of the vehicle, said road (R) comprising lanes marked on the road (110); —a lighting module (215) configured to project road markings on the road (120); wherein said lighting system (200) is configured to filter the projected road markings (120) on the road compared to the lanes marked (110) on the road.
Control method and control device
A control method according to the present disclosure includes: obtaining (receiving) position information (a danger warning signal) indicating a target position where a target object is present; determining whether the vehicle is driving autonomously or is being driven manually; when the vehicle is determined to be being driven manually, inspecting whether the target position is located within a predetermined region of a travel route of the vehicle based on the position information; when the target position is located within the predetermined region, changing the light transmission state of the headlight from a first state to a second state; and when the vehicle is determined to be driving autonomously and/or the target position is not located within the predetermined region, maintaining the light transmission state of the headlight.
Vehicle lamp system comprising a computer adjusting the color or direction of a lamp based on a road user's gaze direction
A computer includes a processor and a memory storing instructions executable by the processor to receive sensor data indicating a road user, determine a gaze direction of the road user based on the sensor data, and adjust at least one of a color or direction of a lamp of a vehicle based on the gaze direction.
