An adaptive vehicle headlight is provided for being installed on a vehicle body for use. The adaptive vehicle headlight includes a light body, an optical lens, a driver, and a control unit. The optical lens, the driver, and the control unit are integrated into the light body. In practice, the optical lens can optionally include a light distributing member. The control unit can cause an operation of the driver according to a tilt angle of the vehicle body, such that the optical lens and/or the light distributing member are rotated to a predetermined angle, so as to produce an illumination pattern in a horizontal state.

Automatically optimizing a predictive dynamic bending light function of a vehicle lighting system comprises configuring a bending light control unit for controlling the lighting system with initial bending light control parameter values as control parameter values to be used, configuring a classification unit for automatically classifying a performance of the bending light control unit into a desired and at least one further performance class, depending on output values of the control unit, configuring a control parameter optimization unit for ascertaining updated control parameter values depending on input values of the control unit and classifications of the performance assigned to them, as well as acquiring driving trajectory parameter values as the input values during a journey, ascertaining output values of the control unit, automatically classifying the performance depending on the ascertained output values, ascertaining updated control parameter values and adapting the control parameter values to be used to the updated control parameter values, wherein the ascertainment of updated control parameter values comprises the application of a genetic algorithm with which a frequency of a classification of the performance into the desired performance class is increased.

A light projection device for a moving body is provided on the moving body and includes: a light source for irradiating light; an optical scanner which has a mirror portion for reflecting the light irradiated from the light source and a drive source for swinging the mirror portion, and scans the light irradiated from the light source; and a control portion which controls to acquire change information of an angle range at which the mirror portion swings, change the angle range at which the mirror portion swings by controlling the drive source based on the acquired change information, and change an irradiation range of the light irradiated from the light source.

A headlight assembly for an automobile illuminates a path of the automobile while executing a turn. The assembly includes at least one primary light source, a means of determining an orientation of the automobile, the means being configured to generate a first signal when the orientation is varied, a means of determining an orientation of a steering device of the automobile, the means being configured to generate a second signal when the orientation of the steering device is varied, and a control unit configured to receive and condition the first and the second signal to produce a conditioned signal; and at least two secondary light sources, wherein at least one of the at least two secondary light sources is actuated by the conditioned signal transmitted from the control unit. The invention also describes a method for illuminating a path of the automobile while executing a turn.

The light source of the present disclosure spot-irradiates a distant place in front of a vehicle. The turn on/off circuit supplies a driving current I.sub.LD to the light source 120 to turn on the light source. The swivel mechanism swivels the light source. The turn on/off circuit reduces a light quantity of the light source as a swivel angle θ of the swivel mechanism is large.

A procedure is provided for actuating at least one light module of the light unit of a vehicle with a plurality of light sources and a light control system automatically actuating the light module. At least two first light distribution arrangements are generated and first data sets corresponding to the first light distribution arrangements are stored in a memory of the light control system. In order to implement a plurality of light distribution arrangements with less effort, at least one second light distribution arrangement is allocated to at least one pairing of two of the at least two first light distribution arrangements, and actuation of the light module for generating this at least one second light distribution arrangement is performed depending on the first datasets of the assigned pairing from the first light distribution arrangements.

This vehicular lighting equipment provided on a vehicle (100), which is capable of travelling around a corner by tilting the vehicle body toward the turning direction, comprises a light source, an optical member by which the light emitted from the light source is directed forward from the lighting equipment to form a predetermined light distribution pattern (PL), and a control unit for adjusting the predetermined light distribution pattern (PL) according to the tilted state of the vehicle body. The control unit is configured to adjust a predetermined light distribution pattern (PL2) such that in a light distribution pattern (PL1) corresponding to when the vehicle body is tilted, no light is irradiated in a region located outside the light distribution pattern (PL) corresponding to when the vehicle body is in the vertical state.

Systems and methods for automated headlamp adjustments for autonomous vehicles are disclosed. In one aspect, an autonomous vehicle includes at least one headlamp configured to generate and emit light to illuminate an environment of the autonomous vehicle, at least one actuator configured to adjust a direction in which the light is emitted from the at least one headlamp, and at least one perception sensor configured to generate perception data based at least in part on the light emitted from the at least one headlamp. The autonomous vehicle further includes a processor configured to receive one or more inputs including a navigational map, determine a headlamp angle based at least in part on the navigational map, and provide a command to the at least one actuator to adjust an orientation of the at least one headlamp based on the headlamp angle.

A vehicle illumination system provided in a vehicle capable of traveling around a corner by inclining a vehicle body toward a turning direction includes: a headlamp mounted on a front portion of the vehicle; a communication lamp disposed on the vehicle body in a region adjacent to the head tamp so as to be visible from ahead of the vehicle; and an illumination control unit configured to change a lighting mode of the communication lamp depending on a state of the vehicle.
