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.
HEADLIGHT OPTICAL ELEMENT, HEADLIGHT MODULE, VEHICLE HEADLIGHT AND VEHICLE
The present disclosure relates to a vehicle lighting system, and discloses a headlight optical element. The headlight optical element includes a light incident portion, a transmission portion and a light emergent portion. The light incident portion includes at least one light incident structure; the transmission portion is arranged between the light incident portion and the light emergent portion, and includes a light transmitting portion located at the center, and light absorbing portions located on the periphery; and the light emergent portion includes a light emergent surface protruding outwards. The headlight optical element has the advantages of simple structure and convenient dimming. The present disclosure further discloses a headlight module adopting the headlight optical element, a vehicle headlight including the headlight module, and a vehicle adopting the vehicle headlight.
Lever switch and automatic light control device
A lever switch includes a lever main body and a rotary operation element rotatably provided at a tip end portion of the lever main body. The rotary operation element is provided with a light ON switch position at which an instruction to cause head lights and small lights to be on at all times is issued, an automatic light switch position at which an instruction to set an automatic light mode, in which a turned-on state of the head lights and the small lights is controlled based on the intensity of illumination in the vicinity of the vehicle, is issued, and a light OFF switch position at which an instruction to turn the head lights off is issued, the light ON switch position, the automatic light switch position, and the light OFF switch position being arranged in an order along a rotation direction.
HEADLIGHT OPTICAL ELEMENT, HEADLIGHT MODULE, VEHICLE HEADLIGHT AND VEHICLE
The present disclosure relates to vehicle lighting devices, and discloses a headlight optical element. The headlight optical element includes a light incident portion, a light transmitting portion and a light emergent portion which are connected in sequence, wherein the light incident portion includes a plurality of light incident surfaces connected sequentially in a left-right direction; the light incident surfaces are curved surfaces protruding backwards in the optical axis direction; and light emergent surfaces are curved surfaces protruding forwards in the optical axis direction. In addition, the present disclosure further discloses a headlight module, a vehicle headlight and a vehicle. The headlight optical element provided by the present disclosure is small in size, high in optical precision, accurate in light pattern, convenient to mount and low in cost.
LIGHTING DEVICE FOR VEHICLES
A lighting device having a light source, an optical element associated with the light source and designed as a reflection lens which, in a central region accommodating an optical axis of the optical element, has a lens section which has a first coupling-in surface on a coupling-in side and a first coupling-out surface on a coupling-out side. The light source is tilted and/or is arranged rotated about the optical axis in the plane running perpendicular to the optical axis, with the formation of an obliquely running edge of the light source, and the first coupling-in surface, the second coupling-in surface, the reflection surface, the first coupling-out surface, and/or the second coupling-out surface of the optical element are shaped in such a way that the predetermined light distribution is produced with imaging of the edge of the light source as a cut-off line.
Vehicular forward viewing image capture system
A vehicular forward viewing image capture system includes an accessory module configured for attachment at an in-cabin side of a windshield of a vehicle, whereby a CMOS image sensor views through the windshield forward of the vehicle. With the accessory module attached at the in-cabin side of the windshield, and while the vehicle is traveling along a road, captured image data is processed to determine movement of an object of interest viewed by the image sensor. Multiple frames of captured image data are processed in determining movement of the object of interest. The accessory module includes an electrical connector for electrically connecting to a vehicle wiring system of the vehicle. Image data captured by the image sensor may be processed for an automatic headlamp control system of the equipped vehicle. The vehicular forward viewing image capture system may compensate for misalignment of the image sensor.
Automotive lighting apparatus and relative control method
An automotive lighting apparatus is provided that includes a rear body which is adapted to be fixed to the outside or to the inside of the vehicle; a front half-shell arranged to close the mouth of said rear body; and at least one lighting assembly which is located inside the rear body and is adapted to backlight, on command, a corresponding transparent or semi-transparent sector of the front half-shell; the lighting assembly including a radially emitting optical fibre of given length; an electrically-powered, collimated light source which is located in front of a proximal end of the optical fibre, and is adapted to direct, towards the same proximal end, a collimated light beam that enters and travels inside the optical fibre; at least one proximal photometric sensor which is arranged beside the collimated light source and/or the proximal end of the optical fibre so as to capture/detect the light reflected/scattered on entering into the optical fibre; at least one distal photometric sensor which is located in front of the distal end of the optical fibre, and is adapted to capture/detect the light exiting from the distal end of the optical fibre; and an electronic control unit which is adapted to command the collimated light source on the basis of the signals coming from said proximal and distal photometric sensors.
LIGHT INTENSITY CONTROL SYSTEM FOR A VEHICLE
A light intensity control system in a vehicle enables the head lamp of the vehicle and the display of the instrument cluster to switch between one or more beam position depending on the ambient light intensity directly in the field view of the driver's eye.
Attachable and detachable light assembly for an electric powered personal transport vehicle
Embodiments of the present disclosure include a wireless remote control or remote control application for controlling the lighting of an electronic personal transportation vehicle. Embodiments can solve problems related to sharing electronic personal transportation vehicles by uniquely identifying a user, and allowing that user to control the lighting of the electronic personal transportation vehicle. In this manner, other users can control the lighting at different times, depending on the specific person that is using the electronic personal transportation vehicle at any given time.
Adaptive lighting system
A lighting system for a vehicle having a vehicle structure has a housing and a lens. A plurality of light sources are disposed within the housing. A sensor is disposed between the housing and the lens and senses a condition outside the lens.
